TL;DR: because it sounded cool and more science fiction-y
what evidence is there that this is the case?
edit: oh, I see. that’s… pretty damning!
FTA:
"The officers began questioning Ms. MacCarthy and made it clear that they were given the racially charged information that Ms. MacCarthy’s daughter was possibly being trafficked by her simply because Ms. MacCarthy is White and her daughter is Black," the lawsuit said.
The crux of the alleged civil rights violation is that the report was based purely on racial profiling and nothing else, which the police made clear when they interviewed the alleged victims. so, it’s not a matter of reporting vs enforcement; it’s a matter of the basis of the report itself, which MacCarthy alleges was, as the police informed her, was in violation of her (and her daughter’s) civil rights.
I have a niece and nephew who are half Chinese. It just now occurred to me how racist assholes could make this a problem for me if I ever were in such a situation!
“ A broken clock is right twice a day” is the phrase. 
Mods on the Star Trek communities on StarTrek.world will delete (and ban you) for even the slightest negative opinion about the show Star Trek Discovery. Even if you say that you dislike the show, or that you think the writing is sub-par, or anything slightly minor and inoffensive, poof! Your comment is gone, and you’re banned.
It’s not a rule in the sidebar, which is most frustrating, too. All you get is “not constructive”, even though there are plenty of complaints about other things, some pretty abrasive. But one unadoring word about Discovery, and you and your comment vanish without warning.
I see mastodon users here once in a while. kbin users, too!
the real joke here is the thought that Dick Cheney would have anything to do with Judaism, even if his life literally depended on it.
this isn’t integrity. it’s entirely self-interest.
if he had integrity, he would have come out with all of what he knew long ago, especially when he was subpoenaed by congress when they were conducting their investigation— a subpoena he refused to comply with, btw.
yikes! what assholes!
