"It's almost intentional, or just thoughtless…it's not the professional way to handle it. They (UPD) are our cops."

"They should put that up on the windows and everything. I mean, if your momma was assaulted like that, you'd want everybody to know exactly what the guy looked like."
- Jahbari McLennan, senior finance major from Houston, TX.
"Some type of further description of them would've done justice besides just 'two black males'. I mean, how many black males are in this school? All of them, beware!"
- Chocoletta Johnson, junior business administration major from Poplar Bluff
