IF I HAD A SON: Police: Body of Detroit man, 91, beaten, set on fire. “Police a photo and video of the suspect from surveillance footage at the gas station. The man was described by police as about 5-foot-9 and in his early 20s. He has a medium complexion and was wearing a red or orange skull cap, gray hoodie and black pants.”

“Medium complexion”? The suspect is black.

This euphemism is reminiscent of the description of alleged rapist-murderer Philip Chism in a police report: “white” in the “race” box and “dark” in the “complexion” box.
