If you're waiting for the police department to release a statement stating that they are racist and discriminate against brown people, I think you'll be waiting a very long time. Otherwise, I'm not sure what additional evidence you're looking for. There's every indication that the town as a whole is very Islamophobic and the treatment Ahmed receiving was far above and beyond what is reasonable or what they police "had to do" for "standard operating procedures." That's enough for me, that's enough for almost everybody in this thread, and that's enough for the White House, Facebook, Microsoft, etc., etc., etc.
