Police officers at Brown University are no longer including the race of criminal suspects when announcing crimes, after an outcry from Brown students who said the practice stigmatized certain groups.
The policy was first implemented a year ago, but was only publicized Wednesday by The Brown Daily Herald. Including a suspect’s race is often harmful because “vague descriptions can reinforce stereotypes,” causing hostility towards some community members, according to police chief Mark Porter.
To solve the problem, Brown police are making the descriptions even vaguer, including only the suspect’s age, sex, build, and general appearance (sans skin color).
The shift fulfills a demand from some Brown students who called for it while the school was hammering out its $165 million “Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion” action plan.

He had, he had hands!!!! And was seen running so it is presumed, not with certainty, as we don’t want to offend the limbless, that he has legs!!!!!!!!!
Wanted. A “guy” who is .... Um. Well, naughty. Very, very naughty. And bad. Very very bad. Naughty and bad. He did something bad and naughty. More than once to .... Can’t say who as that may be both sexist and racist. But that person was nice.
So be on the lookout for a naughty and bad guy
He looka like a mahn....
Gender is probably also verboten.
University of Minnesota started this nonsense a couple of years ago.
Crime on campus is up and the arrest rate is way down.
I know that guy!
His name is Art Limblacker.
No mention should be of his weight. He might be offended for being obese. And if he is a shorty, THIS would be very offensive to someone of short stature.
“So be on the lookout for a naughty and bad guy”
“naughty and bad” are offensiveness words so drop that oh and the term “guy” can not be used either because the person might not feel “guyish” that day so you are just look for someone and leave it at that
But they feel good about themselves, that's more important.
APB for a person with arms, legs, a head and feet.
lol at both posts!!!
actually, isn’t saying it was a male sexist?
Yeah, the PC crowd would rather have criminals not be caught than to identify that a large portion of them are Black.
This is as stupid as not identifying the color of a getaway car. “Be on the look out for two bank robbers. The perps are traveling north on Brisbane Boulevard, in a non-identified colored sedan of a non-identified make.”
Yeah, that group has a name: CRIMINALS
Morons. I wrote letter to the editor for Waco Trib when they did this. Told them they would share in guilt when I double tapped some guy asking directions because they didn't give full description of wanted perps.
Ok. Can you report nostril size instead?
How dare you assume his/her/its gender?!
“Be on the lookout for a person of undisclosed race, gender, and ethnic origin who has robbed a convenience store. If you see this person, please notify the police.”
rofl!!!! how do you know one of the feet isn’t wooden!!!
you have no heart!!!
