The report describes age, height, weight and attire of the suspects.

Seems like they left something very obvious out of the descriptions.

no we don't need to carry if they ban all machetes
or ban criminals from possessing machetes
or pass a machete violence act
or pass a law outlawing robbery involving a machete
or have all machetes registered
or if you even THINK about harming or robbing another with a machete...a red flag law for machetes...
or establish a machete violence study
or establish a machete violence center
or outlaw open carry machetes - because where states allow open carry machetes everyone jets hacked...

Home Depot Salesman:  "Can I help you?"

Me:  "I need a machete to take care of some banana trees".

HD:  "Certainly.  Just fill out this RAPBACK application, pay the $40 permit fee, and come back in 2 weeks to pick up your permit.  Who's your healthcare provider?"

Me:  "That's ridiculous!  Where's your manager?"

HD:  "I'm sorry.  But that angry outburst violated our mental health policy for dangerous tool purchases.  You'll need to come back with a doctor's affidavit stating you can be trusted with a machete."

Machete violence is a global problem.

I noticed that... and that according to the descriptions included two of them were identical twins:

"The second suspect is also in his 20s, around 5’10” and 170 pounds. He was wearing a dark shirt and red shorts. And the third suspect is in his 20s, about 5’10”, 170 pounds and was wearing a dark shirt and red shirts [sic]."

Isn't it racism if you deliberately don't include race when it might be the only distinguishing characteristics?

Race could be useful, but just a simple description of skin color or tone, hair color and length, facial hair if any and so on might help differentiate the suspects from, I don't know, every other 20-30 yr-old, 170 lb, 5' 10" person on the island?

What color were the clothes he had on?  "Dark blue or black shirt and red shorts."

What color was the person?  "I'm racially colorblind.  As a Liberal, I only see 'White Privilege' and 'Bad Orange Man' skin types."
