Why is it always the criminal is black or Hispanic? Blacks make up 12% of the population and Hispanics make up 6% and whites make up 77%. What bothers me is that they commit 90% of the crimes.

I wonder why no description of the vehicle. If the public is to get involved try reporting a little more information besides a black man in a car.
