San Francisco police will stop releasing most mug shots in an effort to stop fueling “racial bias” due to the fact the majority of those arrested belong to certain races and not others, the department’s chief announced Wednesday.
San Francisco Chief of Police William Scott said that the booking photos would not be released any longer, effective immediately, “except in circumstances where their release is necessary to warn the public of imminent danger or to enlist the public’s assistance in locating individuals, including at-risk persons.”

The policy change was influenced by “academia, community groups, news organizations and members of San Francisco’s Police Commission, Public Defender’s Office, District Attorney’s Office and Department of Police Accountability,” according to the statement.
“This policy emerges from compelling research suggesting that the widespread publication of police booking photos in the news and on social media creates an illusory correlation for viewers that fosters racial bias and vastly overstates the propensity of black and brown men to engage in criminal behavior,” Scott said in a statement posted to the San Francisco Police Department website.
“By implementing this groundbreaking new policy today, SFPD is taking a stand that walks the walk on implicit bias while affirming a core principle of procedural justice — that those booked on suspicion of a crime are nonetheless presumed innocent of it,” Scott said.
NBC report: Large cities like Los Angeles and New York already have policies against releasing booking photos, but make exceptions. The New York City Police Department, the nation’s largest, releases information on arrests, but doesn’t put out mug shots unless investigators believe it will prompt more witnesses to come forward or if it will assist in finding a suspect.
But San Francisco will be the first to adopt the policy specifically as part of an effort to stop spreading negative stereotypes of minorities, something Scott — who is Black — said he is all too familiar with when not in uniform.
“You walk into a department store and you get followed around and the security is looking at you suspiciously — I’ve experienced that,” Scott said

I bet if it was White People this clown would make a mural. Just goes to show you that most POCS are criminals and that is TRUTH NOT RACISM. Facts don’t lie. These traitors HAVE TO DO this because if they don’t it will blow their BS narratives to hell. POCS HAVE NEVER MADE A PLACE BETTER, IN FACT THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE.
That is true.
So, the public is not allowed to know who the criminals are. The govenment protects its own.
When facts & truth are censored, you need to rid yourself of those censors. There must be extremely well supported evidence to support censoring or laws based on claims that are not proven to be factual.
Criminality starts at the top and trickles down As above so below.
“Due to the fact that a majority of those arrested belong to a certain race.” Well I guess it’s settled, profiling works.
We didn’t have any photo of the 6 Years old kid who shot the teacher lately but considering how WHITE and BLOND She is we can guess why . . .
I just saw a picture of all the hundred of dead Canadian soldiers from Afghanistan and I saw that they were all White Canadians and not one colored. Either they are not patroitic or they can’t meet the standard to become a soldier.
