Today, twice on LinkedIn and this one on Twitter, I came across three separate photos of alert for alleged suspects of various petty crimes. Each suspect has been a dreadlocked B/black person.

I visited family, my aunt knew all the young people on the block, wherever she would go folks would cross the street to say hello.
after this happened for the 99th time my mom asked my aunt off the side "why do they all have bald heads? is that the style now?"
my then loudly repeated the question and the young folks who were there to say hello explained that up to about a month ago straight back cornrows and long hair was the thing but then something went down with the police and they started picking up anyone who had a similar hair style...in response everyone cut everything off and kept a low profile.
