Asking about the race of those whom have done something of any nature that is reported is not racist. You dink ! But you suggesting this. Would be considered a Red Herring. If the reports were about something positive no one would have a problem with the information provided. Yes the information is in the report. I believe your Red Herring bodes toward the reality, which proves the facts, that are consistently being ignored about the crimes being committed in the area and the faces involved. Like it or not.
Is there some reason for omitting the words ‘black’ or ‘white’ when describing suspects in
your reports?
Wow, Cathy. You could hardly be more racist if you tried.
Cathy – if you’re asking me, it wasn’t 40 South that omitted the words – they weren’t included in the report.
