If they do include pictures, they often choose ones that make the perpetrator look saintly. They also change their wording. The reason for this is that, in the future, when you refer back or search for information, it will appear that only black people are violent and commit crimes, as their pictures are more prevalent online. This skews statistics, leading to the false conclusion that black people are bad and white people are good. The problem is that crime has no color.”

“All human beings, according to the conception of the Vedic seers, form the physical body of the Purusha, or Cosmic Person. The spiritual men form, as it were, his head, the warriors His arms, the merchants and traders His thighs and the labourers His feet.
