In my city, they might say, "anyone with information on....should call 1800"..,,, or "the suspect is a male between the ages of 18 and 25, 6 ft 250 lbs. Anyone recognizing the suspect......."
No description of race or skin color, if the perp is black.
Occasionally, there might be, "a male between 18-20 yrs., 5 ft 6 in, 130 lbs... brown eyes, brown eyes " usually, referring to Hispanic male.
I have to tell you....all those pics that someone posted earlier today with all the suspicious guys with backpacks...the ME guys are well, ME guys....they always look suspicious...but that one taller white guy with the beard....he looked a bit deranged to me...
sorry if its some freepers uncle....
