But of course, the people mustn't see the perpetrators faces.

Stereotypes. LOL
The San Francisco Police Department is barred from sharing the mug shot of the suspect who viciously stabbed a pedestrian in a terrifying, unprovoked attack because of a woke policy enacted in 2020 — which is being ripped by frightened residents.
The unhinged knifeman was caught on camera creeping up behind the unsuspecting man in Chinatown and stabbing him in the back — but San Franciscans are being prohibited from seeing the attacker’s face following his arrest.
The SFPD implemented a strict policy in July 2020 that banned the release of most booking photos to avoid perpetuating racial stereotypes.
“This policy emerges from compelling research suggesting that the widespread publication of police booking photos in the news and on social media creates an illusory correlation for viewers that fosters racial bias and vastly overstates the propensity of black and brown men to engage in criminal behavior,” the San Francisco Chief of Police at the time, William Scott, said in a statement announcing the policy.
The SFPD announced in July 2020 that it would stop releasing mug shots to the public.
The policy allows mug shots to be released to the media only when deemed “necessary to warn the public of imminent danger or to enlist the public’s assistance in locating individuals, including at-risk persons.”
Critics who believe they have a right to see what the suspect looks like ripped the policy on social media — saying it unfairly protects suspected criminals over the public.
