Police rarely give a description.......Why ?
Discussion
I’ve noticed increasingly in news reports on websites whether it be the BBC or SKY or newspapers or who ever very rarely give the description of the person the police are looking for......for instance the recent stabbing murder of the flower seller guy in London......
They nearly always add they want witnesses camera footage blah blah but no description for people to search for.......is it the Police or the News outlets......
I went through first 3 pages on Google for the attack on the poor guy and nothing........no description, how is this helpful or am I missing something here......

If they have pictures they publish them.
If they don’t, we’ll, eye witnesses are notoriously crap. Eyewitness details just can’t be relied on and giving out a description based on them is more likely to cause problems than not.
I’m not sure it is as black and white and you make it out to be. If they don’t, we’ll, eye witnesses are notoriously crap. Eyewitness details just can’t be relied on and giving out a description based on them is more likely to cause problems than not.

Well they've got him so you probably did miss something. They nearly always add they want witnesses camera footage blah blah but no description for people to search for.......is it the Police or the News outlets......

This is probably the most ridiculous one I've come across.
