All 50 US States fail to meet global police standards for use of force.

Meh, the Guardian is a centre-left British News site. It would be like Fox news saying the Fox saying the EU is an effective and model organization. The standards were up to the countries themselves, not the UN. Lot of stuff wrong with the article

This is what most agencies in the US follow:

So yes, there are standards, and they are followed.

Article only mentions the black shootings it seems. How quaint.

That's because we have a police force to keep the black population in check.

So has anyone found out who set these standards? I dug around on the UN's website and couldn't find much on policing. I've also checked Interpol, I only found guidelines for their own officers.

edit: I'm about ready to call bullstuff on the media. It just seems they are trying to create sensationalism.
