This change is one of three in the policy titled, “San Diego State University Community Safety Notification Suspect Description Reporting Policy.” SDSU alerted students of the updates in an email sent by SDSU Chief of Police Josh Mays and SDSU Associate Vice President for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Luke Wood, which Campus Reform obtained.
“For the last several years, there have been ongoing conversations about the ways that university crime alerts may portray certain communities in a criminalized fashion,” Mays and Wood said. “In particular, concerns have been expressed by faculty, staff, and students about vague warnings that do not provide an extensive description of suspects.”
Mays and Wood explained that when SDSU police released a description of suspects reading “tall, thin Black male adults in their early 20s wearing hooded sweatshirts,” faculty and staff members complained that the description was too vague.

Seems to me race is a majority description , the difference between black and white . Unless the blacks have changed their mind this week and want to be called brown.
ReplyDeleteThey are just tired of having to name black people as the MAJOR criminals committing the majority of the crimes.
ReplyDeleteIt rips to pieces their narrative of black people are not criminals --- its a stereotype!!"
They just keep fulfilling it.
The truth, to them, is like water being thrown on the wicked witch of the West.
If a person was struck by a hit and run car, wouldn't it be helpful to know the make, model and color? Same with looking for a suspect.
