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.”

The ad warns that if cops transmit a description of a suspect that goes beyond the color of his or her clothing, they could be sued for racial profiling if the proposal becomes law.

The ad will appear in tomorrow’s Post, in addition to the union’s Web site, Twitter and Facebook — and provides links to contacts for City Council members to sway their vote on the measure.

The bill’s sponsor, Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn), and Speaker Christine Quinn are

Red hoodie?

When they pass a law like this the lawyers follow up to add the details, for instance, pointing out that “hoodie” was being used as a euphemism, or was percentage wise discriminatory or something.

When one of their own is killed the cops will all know the description and the perp will be incinerated. No need for a public description or a trial.

I am so glad we have FR to document all this insanity. Some day historians will read about this politically correct behavior and wonder what kind of drugs we were on or if lead poisoned our drinking water supply.

Jumaaane Williams, the bill’s sponsor, is obviously a developmentally challenged human being.

Should such short-bus riders actually be on City Councils?

I believe in inclusion, but this???

Yet another reason Anthony Weiner is superior to the alternatives for NYC mayor.

Big Brother want to know every detail of every innocent citizen.

Big Brother don't want no details about those who commit crimes.

Our current police state shaping up beyond the one imagined by Orwell.

Howard Stern used to ask people to describe themselves by
saying, “who do you look like that’s famous”. Witnesses could use that method to describe bad guys.

Good point...

Shake down grandma and little sis at the airport, monitor grandpas phone records in Hogjaw Kansas, bug the cell phones of Aunt Betty and Uncle Joe...Leave the borders wide open...

But lets keep those criminals gangsters identities secret, who are gang raping the 70 year old widow and shooting the 20 year old greedymart clerk to death.

In the Fifth Element, Corbin Dallas (Bruce Willis) is being sought by police. The police go to his front door, and through it they ask him if he’s human. He responds with, “No, “I’m a meat popsicle.” With that they are placated. It helped that someone moved his nameplate next door, where the guy got belligerent and they thought he was Dallas.

I wonder if that would be okay with the Lefties.

Perfectly illustrates why liberalism is a suicidal mental disease. Cop to white liberal victim who was just assaulted:
"well what did the guy look like. White, Black, Hispanic, Chinese?"
lib: "how dare you ask me to describe my assailant, you racist pig you!!!"

Ya look at the “Most Wanted” in places like Chicago, LA, NY, St. Louis and Dallas and 95 percent of those are foreigners, black and or Hispanic...

No wonder these Communist don’t want anyone to describe the criminals.

New York Dems want to pass a bill...

“it will ban cops from identifying a suspect’s age, gender, color or disability.

Yet, they will support jug-ear's administration allowing the recording of every word of every call of every "U.S. Person" 24-7-365.

Yeah, THAT'S ok...

I honestly hate that it has come to this, but I’m afraid some of these States in our Union will have to burn to the ground before people snap out of it.

New York, and New York City in particular, may have to see hundreds of thousands of deaths that point directly at those in power before it gets through their thick skulls.

This is evil.
