Remember the DC shootings? We later found out they knew it was two Black men but they wouldn't release that information, which MAY have saved lives if they'd given a more full description.

They did give a description, Peach, remember the experts said the profile matched middle aged white guys? They even identified their vehicle-a white truck, somewhere between a mini-van and an eighteen wheeler.
