San Francisco police will stop making public the mug shots of people who have been arrested unless they pose a threat to the public, as part of an effort to stop perpetuating racial stereotypes, the city’s police chief announced Wednesday.

Isn’t racist just to say that?

Waiting for BLM to scream that they’re hiding their systemic racism by showing how many more innocent black people are arrested ...

[Old Yeller]

Hey, only whites are racist, and only whites commit crimes.

“...Like it or not, people are innocent until proven guilty. “

Yep, and you are right, but we both know—because they admitted it—that innocence/guilt had nothing to do with the decision. It’s all about eliminating stereotypes. They fact that the stereotypes are based on reality is an embossment to them. Who are you going to believe, us or your lying eyes.

I’d agree too IF they were doing it for reason you cited but alas...

George Soros is running for President?

I think this orchestrated chaos is a little closer to home.

[Reagan80]

Are they going to tear down all the ‘WANTED’ posters too?

Those are even more racist.

At least the mug shots are 1/3 drunk driving millennial chicks.

Next step is to decide that all white suspects are a danger to the public.

LOL!!! Pretty much saying that MOST of the crime is done by BLACKS!!

[Migraine]

I agree with this idea. That way no shaming of all those POCs and dog-ass-ugly people.

And at the same time, Virginia is requiring officers to ask racial questions at traffic stops.

The Leftists run in both directions, at the same time, and insist that neither is racist, when both clearly are.

How could mug shots be racially biased. I mean, it’s not like there is any relationship between race and criminality.

[LateBoomer]

If the police say that releasing mug shots is “perpetuating racial stereotypes”... then they have just validated the stereotypes.

"So basically they are admitting that blacks commit most of the crimes."

Yup. But, just like everything else with them you have to pretend.
