Black University Students Demand Police Stop Identifying Crime Suspects Using Race

[From article]
The organizations wrote that while campus safety is crucial, the profiling can be devastating for black male students.

Ian Taylor Jr., president of the Black Men’s Forum, said members of his organization feel threatened when the use of a racial description is given in the crime alerts.

Who knew there was black guilt? And what about news reports by radio, TV, print and online reports of suspects who have "a history of mental illness." Police, prosecutors and judges openly report these allegations in open court. Do prosecutors and judges state "This black defendant?" How does that make anyone who ever spoke with a psychiatrist feel? Why do such people lose their second amendment rights because of such associations? For public safety reasons allowing civilians to be on alert for suspects is why they are identified by race. When police and journalists refuse to use whatever facts are available to identify suspects it makes the public less safe. This argument by black men's associations shows they believe that all members of a group are guilty if one is guilty, indicating their argument makes no sense. This argument led the Danvers, MA police to issue an official report stating that the 14-year-old suspect, a child of a racially mixed marriage, who was charged with rape and homicide of his teacher was "white with dark complexion." Here again are wishes of a special interest group denying reality. It only leads to more confusion and abuses of power by the mentally challenged politicians.
