The police know the race, and everybody else here is left to wonder which race committed this dastardly act. This isn't Baskin Robins with 40 million flavors. Black, White, Oriental, and Spanish decent. Pick one.

Beachboater,

-Suppose you hear on the radio, a male 6'2" tall weighing 250 pounds with a shaved head had just killed a neighbor of yours and was heading towards your house. Now there is a knock on your door. It's a male, about 6'2" tall, weighing 250 pounds. Now, does something as simple as skin color matter to you?

I would ask why you are answering the door if there is a murder reported to be on the way to your house.

-Imagine the police arrest a black male, 6'2" tall weighing 250 pounds and drag him to jail. He is put in a lineup for the victims. Now the victim says the bad guy was white. D'uh......

I hope the police don’t start arresting people on high and weight alone. BTW, you are not the police.

-So you really don't see how the race could help in finding the bad guys?

So if your husband / wife tells you to go buy that thing with “salt” at the store that ALONE will help you find the product?

" Would all of one race be suspects if that is all that they could have seen?" smcallah

Of course not. But all other races could be excluded.-beachboater

Yes, but that would still leave countless ‘suspects’ simply because of their color.

Of course not. But all other races could be excluded.
