Facing backlash for allegedly stigmatizing minorities particularly black men the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities announced on Tuesday that it will no longer include racial descriptors in crime alerts issued to students and faculty.
This change supports our public safety goals while recognizing the harm that the use of race in crime alerts causes for some members of our community, the university, which has nearly 50,000 students and is located in Minneapolis and St. Paul, said in a statement.
Moving forward, the University will use descriptions only when there is sufficient detail that would reasonably help identify specific individual suspects or groups of suspects [e.g., some combination of gender, race, clothing, height, body type, build, accent, tattoos, hair color, facial hair], the university stated.
The change came about after an 18-month long campuswide conversation in which members of the schools community raised concerns about the use of racial descriptors as part of Crime Alerts.

Attention, something bad happened to someone by someone else.
Please keep a look out for this person.
Officer: 911. What do you want to report?
Caller: Just saw a murder!
Officer: Can you describe the murderer?
Caller: It was a man or a woman!
Officer: Thank you! We’ll be right on it!
Political correctness: it’s to die for.
So if they DON’T state the the criminals race...assume Black?..how stupidly racist is that..
Black become the assumed default race for all criminals unless another race is explicitly stated ???!!! .....
Who came up with this idea?...the KKK?
This is the University of Minnesota, just another extension of the major Marxist influence on the whole state, from communist/radical professors, congressthings, the red-affiliated Secy of State, the Al Franken election stealing thanks to Secy of State Mark Ritchie, jihad-central in Minneapolis, the old Democratic-Farm-Labor Party that the Communist Party literally tookover many decades ago and became a major player in the Democrat Party, etc.
The more you look into the political ideology of the state of Minnesota, the more you will color it real RED.
Now crime has been homogenized to “be on the lookout for a male, about 5”6” to 5’10”, wearing a jacket, pants, and shirt, who may or may not have a committed a crime on campus” but don’t tell us what his/her race was because they would be discriminatory and would taint the jury pool.
From the Marxist, cowardly Administrator and the Kampus Keystone Kops. Also remember that Minneapolis has had a series of police chiefs so liberal that even criminals supported them.
Be On The Lookout For A Bad Person wearing blue jeans. May be anywhere from white to black, female to male, may be on foot, may not be... this person might be armed and dangerous, or not. Be alert!
