This is another good reason to always carry your concealed weapon when around large crowds!

True words. Done that way in Minnesota too.

Can't tell you the number of times we heard radio descriptions of perps including height, weight, approximate age and even (in one case) eye color, but nothing mentioned about the most obvious feature of all.

15 years ago, the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel quit printing the race of a suspect. I spoke to the assistant editor who happened to be black. He said it would stereotype Black people I said, do you print if suspect is a male or female? Do you put the color of the car involved in the crime? Would not answer me.

Florida has a higher than average crime rate according to FBI statistics. just wander away from TV and you think your in appalachia.

If the police report that the suspect or poi is a black male, that eliminates almost 94% of the population. It seems silly to report height and hair color but not race. What is the reasoning behind this?

I'm also going to bet that's not the answer you were hoping for......:mornincoffee:
The very big flaw with those stats when viewed by race is that Hispanics are considered white in categorizing violent crime by race. That is why those figures add up to 98% of violent crime being committed by whites or blacks. The stats viewed by ethnicity gives better insight into Hispanic violent crime rates and hence, white violent crime rates. Not the answer you were hoping for? Do a little thinking. Do a little digging.

Paddock Mall Shooting
 
The Paddock Mall has been going downhill for a long time. It used to be a nice mall. Not very big, but nice. My kids grew up in Ocala and we went there frequently. Now, it's just not very nice.

So many malls are closing, with many of those remaining open subject to higher crime.
