Widely Distributed Police Sketch Versus Real Life Suspect [Updated]
Oh, NYPD.
Salvatore Perrone of Staten Island was recently arrested as a suspect in the brutal murders of three Brooklyn shopkeepers. Before Perrone’s arrest, NYPD released to media the following sketch of the “black latino” suspect, which was distributed widely in New York. Update: the sketch depicts a separate person of interest from Salvatore Perrone, but the sketch was widely used by media in association with the murders prior to Wednesday’s arrest, and has been called out on tumblr as appearing to be a “stock negro criminal” drawing.

andyfk 5 months agoThe generic “black male” sketch is generic because the victim describing the suspect probably had very little detailed information and so it’s upon the sketch artist to fill in holes with common features while the victim asks for specific features to modify. The human memory is the worst evidence to bring forth in a trial.

It’s a police sketch. It’s not like the reporter drew it. They’re still looking for the guy in the sketch so it may still be accurate. As a matter of fact, they were looking for a total of four people. A better thing to get upset over is why BuzzFeed posts less than half of the whole story. Is it just to get a reaction?
