The man wanted in connection with impersonating a police officer is Caucasian.

There are generally two schools of thought in a newsroom (in general, not specific to Fox): 1) always include the race in stories like this; 2) never include the race in stories like this.

There is no particular policy at Fox Philadelphia of which I am aware. Essentially, that leaves it to the producer's viewpoint on which is more helpful (on a macro and micro level).

Racist or not, if someone is out there impersonating a cop, I would want to know, color, height,weight,hair color etc. To hell with worrying about being labeled racist, if it's gonna keep my a$$ safe, I want to know all of the details. After all, isn't the media supposed to be providing a public service?
