The first descriptions on FOX & Drudge said only that he was "Medium Complexion". Later on in the day they produced a picture which identifed the killer as African-American.

It doesn't matter if he was pink with blue pok-a-dots, they should have reported it as such right from the very beginning of his escape.

This PC crap is getting tiresome isn't it?

Sigh.

Medium complexion is a term that the cops actually understand; simply a part of the description - height, weight, hair, eyes, clothing.

What is wrong with that?

You can't put out a photo of a murder suspect until he is absolutely confirmed as such. Government in inherently slow and news organizations are extra wary of potential legal woes. Yes, it took way too long to get his image out there but, to everyone's credit, once his ID was established everyone ran with it.
