New York Democrats Want to Ban Police From Describing Suspects By Race, Sex, or Age

New York Dems want to pass a bill that would limit a description of a suspect to identify suspects essentially by the clothes they wear only. Truly mind-numbing stupidity.

NYPost reports the following:

Cops might as well wear blindfolds if the City Council passes a bill that would let them use little more than the color of a suspect’s clothing in descriptions — or risk being sued for profiling, according to this provocative new ad (pictured) from the NYPD captains union.

The ad asks, “How effective is a police officer with a blindfold on?”

And the answer is not very, says the NYPD Captains Endowment Association, which is fighting the measure, claiming it would handcuff cops and send crime rates soaring.

Union President Roy Richter — who is seen in the ad wearing a blindfold in Times Square — told The Post the bill is dangerous because “it will ban cops from identifying a suspect’s age, gender, color or disability.

“When we have wanted suspects and patterns of crimes, those are very important descriptive terms to let officers know who to look for.”

How about sexual orientation?

“The suspect fled the scene of the ... ummm... bath house for perfectly normal men to meet other perfectly normal men”

There is an easy way around this. Just say 6 foot 180 lb. Leroy Maboomba just held up a liquor store.

You can find their real name later.

Wait till one of their own is killed. They will demand, “who did this?”

The police will say, “something with two legs.”

Nope, can’t say “human”, that’s a race.

“The suspect, a being wearing a hoodie...” Nope, that’ll be banned next - shades of Trayvon and all of that.

I can't wait: "A woman was assaulted outside a bar on 34th street last night about 2:30 am, dragged into an alley and raped. The public is asked to be on the lookout for a suspicious looking person."

Perhaps NY police can still describe suspects by the illegal firearms that they may be carrying.

Everyone will soon enough only be identified by their DNA sequence anyways.
