The media practices subtle racism!! If a suspect is already apprehended by police, then what public service are you providing by naming the race of the suspect? In theory, you would want to broadcast the race of a person because it is part of their description if they are at large, but once they're already caught, no description is necessary. Yet race is usually mentioned, intentionally.
