When PC trumps public safety.

Utah residents believed they were looking for woman during manhunt for trans killer after reports identified him as 'Mia.’
Folks in Utah were really confused during the manhunt for Collin aka Mia Bailey after he killed his parents.
Everything that went out from the police regarding this person referred to him as 'she' and by Mia rather than Collin. So the people in and around Washington City, UT were on the lookout for a female.

On the morning following the shooting, the St. George Police Department released a notice reading: "ALERT- Those living in the Bloomington Hills and Fort Pierce area! A suspect of a double homicide that occurred in Washington City on 6/18/24 was last seen in the area of Quarry Ridge & River Road. The suspect was seen heading west through the wash. THE SUSPECT IS CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS. She was last seen wearing blue skinny jeans, light blue or white T-shirt, and has dark hair. She is 5’10”and 130 pounds. We ask that those in the affected area shelter in place and call police if you see anything suspicious."

A shelter in place order was issued by police due to the ensuing manhunt, with police telling Washington City residents that they were on the look out for a woman who was "armed and dangerous."
After Bailey was apprehended, a resident who lived near to the Bailey home sent a text message to Utah pundit, Eric Moutsos, saying, "Now our family did know he was a man, but some families in the neighborhood thought a woman was on the loose." The resident said that "One woman was taking a walk this morning and saw this guy walking in between some lots but just thought it was some random guy. Not looking for a guy, she said nothing to the authorities." 
So if this mentally ill person had hurt or killed someone else, it would have been on the heads of the police for putting our erroneous information designed to protect the precious feelings of a murderer instead of protecting the populace.
