    Can't be Kruck, they said the suspect had two balls. But he is see through with dark hair and a mole. Due to not having any color to his skin he simply looks like a floating mole with dark hair.

    We're making jokes on a thread about four police officers being killed?

    So they thought.

    If you include the suspect's race, then that's what people focus on. And having people looking out for 'a black guy' doesn't help much of anything.

    Granted, the description that was given isn't all that helpful either, with the exception of the mole. But which is more distinctive, the fact that the guy's black or the fact that he has a mole on his cheek?

    Why is it an either/or?

    I apologize if what I wrote came across as insensitive. I was merely trying to stress the point that race does add to the description. If the perp is a black guy with a mole on his face, well, then he is a black guy with a mole on his face. If you don't include his race, you just keep your eyes open for any 5-8, 235-pound guy with a mole on his face? White, Asian, Black. I think we as a nation tip-toe around this issue because a couple sick individuals have made false police reports claiming a certain race has done something to them or their family in order to cover up their own crimes. Those idiots should be dealt with in a major way, but you don't endanger the community by pretending there is no skin color on a perp if you damn well know for sure there is.

    BS.

    Justice system had worked.

    And then Huckabee worked his Christian magic.

    You disagree?

    Huckabee should have kept him locked up, no doubt.

    But so should numerous other judges since he was let out.

    Because people hear 'black' and immediately go medieval?
