It has for some time been politically incorrect in Toronto to describe suspects in a violent crime as "speaking with Jamaican accents". In fact, some of the lamestream media try to avoid even mentioning that the perps are black, as is almost always the case.
It doesn't do much good, though, to appeal to the public to call if they have any information about "men", with no other descriptors. Besides, people jump to their own conclusions, awaiting only the confirmation when an arrest is made and the accused is seen being shoved into the back of a cruiser.
Perhaps the Toronto Star has realized that political correctness doesn't change the facts or help the authorities bring criminals to book. Today the oh-so-liberal Star reported on the murder of a 16-year-old in a broad-daylight home invasion as follows.
"Police describe the suspects as 5-foot-9 to 6-feet black men with Jamaican accents."
The description fits 1000s of Torontonians, hundreds of whom are already languishing in Toronto area jails, but one hopes it's the beginning of the end of denying the truth.
Footnote: Agent 3 reports that CBC's ultra-PC Toronto radio station broadcast the police press conference as it happened, omitting only the first ten seconds in which the words "black men with Jamaican accents" were used.
