Re: Day One @ The NCMR

To: Anonymous Poster
Yeah, I could see where a description of the person creating the disturbance would not be germain. In fact, let's do away with all descriptions because, after all, wouldn't they offend someone? Don't ask for the Gender because, that's sexist. Don't ask for an age, that's discriminatory. Let's call the police but not tell them anything about the focus of the call. In the world you describe, I envision it going something like this.

Police: This is the police dept., what is your emergency?

Caller: This is the Latte-Da coffee shop and we've just been robbed.

Police: Can you give me a description. What race was the subject.

Caller: I'm not going to say, that's racist.

Police: Was the subject male or female?

Caller: Can't say, that's sexist.

Police: How old was he/she?

Caller: I won't say, age has nothing to do with this.

Police: How tall was he?

Caller: I never said it was a man, you're putting words in my mouth. I'm not saying how tall this person was because they might have poor self esteem issues?

Police: Can we establish the suspect was a human being.

Caller: Not without bringing speciesism into play.

Police: Thank You. Attention car 3A, respond to the Latte-Da coffee shop for an armed robbery. Suspect is of some unknown species.

DAYS LATER, The manager of the Latte-Da Coffee Shop calls a press conference to berate the police on their poor service and inabiility to catch the suspect. He calls for much tighter oversight and supports some half baked idea of a COB.
