Certainly makes it hard to have the moral authority to urge other countries to treat their citizens well.

This is CNN so probably everything in it is a lie. Wonder what those foreign media people think of the black officer in St. Louis who was killed by the “peaceful protesters” with a bullet? Probably they don’t think about him at all, or know anything about him because our own leftist media aren’t interested in that man’s life or his death because it does not fit their “hate America/hate cops/hate white people” narrative.

So, you think they made up a quote from the Australian PM? Or, did they make up the quote from John Heffern, who served as US Ambassador to Armenia from 2011 to 2014? Rob Berschinski, a former deputy assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor?This is CNN so probably everything in it is a lie
I sometimes enjoy our back and forth, but this is getting to be a little much.

Nobody is requring you to respond.
I have even less faith in former Obama diplomats. The Australian PM is quoted only as saying he wanted an investigation into the assault of an Australian diplomat.

“I am deeply concerned by reports of violence in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen,” President Barack Obama said in a written statement in 2011 when regimes attempted to suppress the so-called Arab Spring. “The United States condemns the use of violence by governments against peaceful protesters in those countries and wherever else it may occur. . . . Wherever they are, people have certain universal rights including the right to peaceful assembly. The United States urges the governments of Bahrain, Libya and Yemen to show restraint in responding to peaceful protests, and to respect the rights of their people.” That is how the U.S. government used to respond when a tyrant used excessive force to muzzle free expression and protest.
