Rather, the words “black male” are automatically included in the description
of the arrest. The supervisor’s template thus other presumes that individuals arrested for trespassing will
be African American.
Can you explain? What difference does it make if the race has a specific place for it or is part of the general description. The fact that they write black male, implies that there is other possible gender/races.
Can you post a copy of that form and clarify your point?
Some food for thought:
Have you noticed that most police reports are written with black ink on white paper? Perhaps the coverage by black ink (usually about 5% of the total page) represents the inferiority of black.
Also, why are police cars painted black and white? Why not all grey, thus indicating the peaceful coexistence of black and white?
