The call was "Local police have lost control.

I make no apologies to those critics who call me "Rocy the Cop." We will have order, and make no mistake about it.Two. Speed is the key. A small force, early, can restore peace, where a large force, later, could not.Three. A state which accepts responsibilities as well as rights will make sure that local police are cool, humane, well-trained.

Now, major U.N. agencies are making some tough — and urgent — calls to stay afloat.
I learned that UNAIDS has kicked off a restructuring plan in response to donor aid cuts. Switzerland gutted its entire funding for the program, and in recent weeks, the U.S. also terminated its awards.
It’s unclear how many UNAIDS programs are affected, but any funding loss from the U.S. government will be a major blow. The United States is UNAIDS’ biggest donor, accounting for more than 40% of its resources.
