Is he white? Why don't they
Is he white? Why don't they ever refer to someone's skin color unless it's not white? humbug.
And jeeze louise, talk about scary!
Not
Actually politically correct news reporting dictates that you mention a person is a minority if the news is good, or if the person has been supposedly victimized. Caucasians are only to be mentioned as oppressors.
He's wearing a mask. I don't
He's wearing a mask. I don't think they know his race.
"Police say the man, wearing a face mask"
White Guilt getting in the way of your reading comprehension?
I had a question, then thought to read the BPD news posting.
How they knew it was a man wearing a hoodie and mask seemed a bit curious to me. Turns out, they're not looking for man (yet), they're looking for an "individual". Of course that will be one seriously tall female.
I'm also really curious how the photo came to be.
well-
It is confusing as the title of the BPD post is "BPD Seeking the Public’s Help to Identify Man wanted in Connection with an Armed Assault in Hyde Park". Then they go on to never use a gender in the post. So perhaps they just made a mistake when they wrote the title- or know more than they are revealing- if the picture is to be believed they might have a color, make, model and plate of a car- I was wondering why they hadn't given that info.
Well
The suspect obviously didn't take the woman's iPhone. That seems to be the only detail BPD cares about in crime reports these days.
It's Georgetown
Section 8 housing conveniently tucked away on the Dedham border. There's a "stop snitching" attitude amongst the crowd there, I wish the police luck in finding the suspect.
