ACTUAL STATEMENT from the Irving Police on why they arrested Ahmed Mohamed. Worse than fiction.

140. If this cop thinks this kid is a "terrorist"...

... and uses BULLSHIT reasons and actions to try and rationalize his belief in that, then the kid has just as much reason if not more that the cop was also a criminal like so many other cops have been found to have been who have brutalized people of color and killed them as murderers do too.

Why didn't the cop at least call someone like a bomb squad that could look at it before taking the kid in to custody, and if the kid's device is "suspicious", why shouldn't any other devices at the fair also have been checked to make sure that we don't have other terrorists in that fair too, whether they are white or some other ethnicity. We certainly have had more white terrorists in our country committing crimes than Muslims in terms of numbers over the last decade. If they are worried about such a thing, perhaps in advance they should have arranged to have such an expert on hand to inspect all of the different exhibits in a non-partisan fashion to ensure everyone's safety. Might have been overreactive and overprotective, but arguably a much better and judicious way of doing it if you are worried about the possibilities of such problems happening.
