United Nations Panel Slams U.S. Record on Police Brutality, Torture, Child Migrants & Guantánamo - YouTube

Published on 3 Dec 2014 http://democracynow.org - As protests continue over the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, the United States is facing pressure internationally over its failure to put a halt to police brutality.

We discuss the report's findings with Dr. Jens Modvig, member of the Committee against Torture and one of two rapporteurs for its report.
