Please oppose S4894, which would impose United Nations guidelines on local police departments. The United Nations regularly advocates policies that contradict basic American values, and it routinely meddles in domestic policy. It is inappropriate to tie local law-enforcement policies to UN guidelines. Please oppose S4894, and instead protect the autonomy of our local law enforcement.

I urge you to oppose and vote against S4894. This dangerous bill would require use-of-force regulations for law enforcement to comply with "the United Nations basic principles on the use of force and firearms." This is dangerous because the UN frequently pushes policies that violate the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Furthermore, unaccountable international organizations shouldn't dictate domestic policy. Please protect local law enforcement by opposing S4894, and also oppose any UN or federal control.

I strongly request that you oppose S4894, which would tie state use-of-force policies to United Nations guidelines. It is unacceptable and dangerous to undermine local-police autonomy by strengthening international (UN) influence over local police. The UN often interferes in U.S. domestic policy, often in ways that violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We don't want such an organization dictating local law-enforcement policies. Please oppose S4894, and also oppose any efforts to expand UN (or even federal) control over police.

I implore you to oppose and vote against S4894. It's essential that you protect the autonomy of our local police, especially from federal or international control. Locally controlled police are integral to a free society. When local control is diluted, accountability to local voters is also diluted. S4894 would severely dilute local control by expanding United Nations influence over local law enforcement. This is unacceptable. The UN or any other international bureaucracies shouldn't have any role in our domestic policies, including law enforcement. Please oppose S4894, and instead keep our local police independent.

Please protect the autonomy of our local law enforcement by opposing S4894, which would codify and impose UN standards on our local law enforcement, thus eroding local control. International bureaucrats shouldn't have any say over the policies of our local police. Local control is a bulwark against abuses of our constitutionally protected freedoms. Eroding local control makes it harder to protect against such abuses. Please ensure that our local police remain independent, and especially oppose S4894.
