    I agree, there's nothing wrong with asking questions or pointing strange things out. Better safe than sorry.

    In this day and age, there should never be an unintended box or bag out in public view in any kind of space with a lot of pedestrian traffic. People really need to be educated here. And bags have no race, religion, or political affiliation. So just freaking point them out to authorities when you see them, right?

    He actually has a point here. You realize that don't you?

    What's the point in saying "dark-skinned male" as the only information about the suspect? I mean, what purpose does that serve?

    Because people want to know if it's middle eastern terrorism or a domestic nut job.

    Don't be naive. How many people were shocked that there was a black DC sniper? It happens but it's not the norm.

    they did not say it was a "white dude" - they said "white dude with brown hoodie, black jacket, and white backwards baseball cap"

    Do you understand the difference?

    Law guys are probably weighing the time it would take them to figure out the identity vs. the time that might be saved from going public, the time that would be wasted following up on the enormous number of false leads that would come in, and the hint it would give to the perp.

    It might also be that while they think they have photos of the suspects, they want to look at all the data to be sure before going public with someone's photo.
