There is every need to qualify that. You guys are throwing a teacher under the bus, accusing him/her of being racist when he/she may be just following zero tolerance procedures in order to keep his/her job. The same goes for the school administration - they passed the buck up to the police. Why is it so hard for you to imagine that this is mostly just ridiculous bureaucracy?
I have never said simply "the police questioned him too long". You added "simply" for effect. After being called by the school administration the police also have standard operating procedures. Each time I have said I thought they should not have questioned the student for so long. And many times in this tread I have said their could be a racist element but it is irresponsible to label teachers, administrators and police officers as racist without the facts.
