A local liquor store got held up not far from where I live. Nothing new there, it happens on occasion. Here’s what raised my eyebrows:
Witnesses said he was an average weight and height, wearing black clothing and had short black hair. He was 20 to 30 years old.
I don’t recall exactly how long it’s been happening, perhaps 9 months, but the local press never seems to print the complexion of a suspect when giving the description.
That would be racial profiling.
Only when the suspect is white. Interestingly, you can often make an educated guess from the rest of the description.
But hey, it’s not like that would be useful information when you’re asking the public for help so being politically correct is certainly the way to go here, right?
