Maybe they’re just making reference to the suspect’s “member?” Since it’s probably been “around the community” a lot, the reference may well be accurate.

CRIMINAL Community Member...

I am so confused by these opaque circumlocutions.

Does ‘community member’ have the same meaning as ‘one of Obama’s sons’?

[rockrr]

I would have referred to the suspect as “mortality challenged”...

[sheik yerbouty]

Community or comoonity?

The newsies would much rather talk about police shooting a “community member” than shooting a “suspect.” “Suspect” is such a loaded word. It implies that the person mentioned might have been doing something remiss while “community member” PCorrectly puts the implication of bad behavior on the cop.

It pisses me off when the news show a video of a guy beating a man with a bat, pouring gas on him and them lighting him on fire and referring to that man doing this as the ALLEGED suspect??? Nothing alleged about it!

What if he’s from out of town? Another state? What if he’s a certified Alabama redneck?
