Cops more worried about perceived racism than catching an alleged baby attacker.

A man who threw hot coffee over a 9-month-old baby escaped authorities thanks to political correctness.

Police issued a nationwide plea for public help in finding a man who approached a family picnicking at a Brisbane park last month and threw hot coffee over their baby.

The man fled the scene, leaving baby Luka with horrific burns to his face and body.

Police asked the public to help them locate the man they described as “tan”.

They left it up to us to guess that “tan” meant “Asian”.

By the time police identified the tan attacker, he had already fled to his Asian country of origin.

Thankfully, no ethnic groups were stereotyped in the abject failure to apprehend the suspect, and so police can be very satisfied with their efforts.

God help us…

Baby Luka was badly burned after hot coffee was poured over him.

If authorities had been more accurate with their description — advising the public that we were on the look out for an Asian man — he might have been apprehended.

But police were afraid to describe the man as he was for fear that … what? We would all go out and start lynching random Asians? That there would be a backlash against restaurants serving chop suey?

We are living in a clown world where police are more worried about folks being triggered by adjectives than babies about babies being scolded by boiling liquid.

These days, you cannot trust police descriptions.

Confusion

Back in June, I reported how UK police were enlisting public help to locate a transgendered woman missing for two months.

The Bromley Police Service, however, posted a photo of Sarah over the weekend with this message:

#MISSING | Sarah is missing from #Bromley. she was last seen on 13/04/2024, and we are concerned for her.

She is 5ft6 and of a slim build. Possible links to #Bexley.

If you see her, please call 101 quoting 01/215336/24

So, police were telling people to keep their eyes peeled for a missing woman in the hope that they would spot a missing man.

If we cannot trust the police to tell us the truth, even when lives are at stake, or child attackers are on the run, who can we trust?

In being politically correct, the Bromley Police Service were endangering Sarah’s life.

Just as Australian police aided and abetted the escape of an alleged child attacker by being more concerned about not being perceived as racist than about seeking justice for an abused baby.
