Just a little something to give some of you a chuckle this morning. Funny, but true!
It is funny, until you realize it's true, then it's not funny.
A few years ago, just after the commie mayor took charge in NY, the police were prohibited from sending out descriptions of perpetrators of just committed crimes that indicated race, ethnicity, or gender in an over abundance of caution in avoiding “profiling.”
About the only thing they could describe was their clothing, so long as it did not indicate anything that could be considered profiling.
Fake but accurate.
It is not so difficult to envision something like this happening among politically correct snowflakes.
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.
(But please do let me know when his next video comes out!)
Why Did British Police Ignore Muslim Gangs Abusing 1,400 Rotherham Children? Political Correctness

For those of us with no imagination, I offer “Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Talks to Young Voters” (at the University of New Hampshire in early 2016). Watch them struggle against all reason and societal expectations to not describe to a police sketch artist the black man they just saw.
(That begins at 6:09, but of course the whole video is a howler.)

Officer: "Sir, you can't speak like that in America anymore. We have PC rules in effect."
Victim: "Well, how do I describe what happened then?"
Officer: "Sir, 'mugged' is inappropriate. These are 'financially-deprived persons'. "
Officer: "And you're not allowed to profile 'short' people. They are correctly identified as 'height-challenged'."
Officer: "And 'fat' people is not acceptable either. They are 'excessive calorie-indulging' individuals'. "
Officer: "As for 'bald' people, 'hair-challenged' is the proper term."
Officer: "And 'punk' is no longer acceptable either. They are more properly referred to as 'individuals without law-abiding values.' "
Victim: "Okay, I think I've got it now." I'll try again.
Victim: "A financially deprived, height-challenged, excessively calorie-indulging, hair-challenged individual without law-abiding values robbed me."
Officer: "Sir, please. 'Robbed' in no longer appropriate. The proper reference is 'spreading the wealth'."
Victim: "Screw it. An entity of unknown origin lifted my wallet and took my money."
Officer: "Sir, if you are unable to describe the person who took you're money in proper PC terms, then I am afraid I will have to arrest you for disparaging the feelings of your fellow citizens."
Victim: "Okay. Never mind. Just forget it."
Officer: "Sir, place you hands behind your back. I am arresting you for filing a false report to law enforcement authorities."
