     Some writer at CNN apparently forgot a fairly simple rule: the race of a person is included in a story only if it is significant to the story. If it is part of an overall description of a suspect in a crime story, fine. Or of there is a racial angle to the story.

But not this:

(CNN)A Baltimore deputy police commissioner was robbed at gunpoint, the police department said Saturday.

Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy and his wife were walking Friday night near Patterson Park when a white SUV with four people in it approached them, the department said in a statement emailed to CNN. Two black men, believed to be about 18 years old, got out of the SUV and approached Murphy and his wife, the department said.

With that said, I hope police identify and charge suspects, whatever their race may be.
