Why are the police not releasing a description of the suspects? They rob and try to kill a cabbie? Are the police minizing the crime because the cabby is ESL or originally from another country? Was the cab driver white and the subjects black and we are ignoring black crime this year? It took the police 4 days to let the media report the 60 year old people beat up at SanPablo park described the suspect as a young teen/adult black male wearing a hoodie. Guess public saftey does not mean all that much anymore.
