This is directed to the Irving TX police:
They should have ignored the whole deal.

Yep. The one with no explosive material in it. The one that didnāt merit involvement of a bomb squad. The one brought to school by a studious 14-yr old to show to his science teacher.
Only ONE of these items is a molotov cocktail:
Context will help you with that.

So, they determined that it was not a bomb. They also determined that there was no evidence he was using it to cause alarm, so it wasnāt really a āhoax bombā either. He only ever said it was a clock. So what exactly is suspicious about this device at this point?
If it isnāt a bomb, and it isnāt a hoax bomb, doesnāt that just make it a clock? And theyāre still holding it because itās a suspicious clock?
Shoddy argument.

Agreed, totally different issue. There have been all kinds of overreactions. No doubt. But there is a Zero Tolerance policy. What happened to this kid is no different than what has happened to many other kids, it has nothing to do with him being Muslim. A white kid would have had the same thing happen to him.
I see you edited out the part where you initially said heād violated the law simply by making the device.
But, you continue to fabricate about the rights of the police.

Itās suspicious because it looked like a TV or movie bomb. Yes. As to āhoaxā, correct, it at this point is no longer a hoax bomb since there is no evidence it was intentional. But itās still considered suspicious in itās construction, yes.
A bomb squad was not called. Duh. It was suspicious, they never said it was a bomb.
Homemade. Looks like a TV or movie zombie. Very suspicious.

If the school calls, the police have to come. And we have no idea what the questioning went like, reports are he was not cooperative at first. If he thinks he was falsely arrested, he should sue. I think it was overboard, but not illegal, to arrest him.
?? If you went to school like that and it was not Halloween, youād be sent to the office for sure. So what is your point?
It never was a hoax bomb. Paranoid bigots have made that accusation, though.

If it looked (past tense) like a TV or movie bomb, then it was (past tense) a suspicious device.
Once it was determined not to be an actual bomb, it ceased to be suspicious. Even if it was determined that it was, in fact, a TV or movie bomb, which are props and not actual bombs, it ceased to be suspicious. However, it seems to have been determined that it is actually a clock, just as the boy said it was from the beginning.
Therefore, it is not currently a suspicious device. It is a clock.

Arrested? Interrogated by police without being able to call parents? Sent to a hospital to test for zombie virus? Have costume seized and held indefinitely? Strike fear in the confused minds of paranoid bigots?

Would you be sent to the office because someone thought you were an actual zombie and that you were putting other students in danger? Or would it be for just violating the dress code? Do you see the difference, or would another arrest be justified?

No, if that was brought into a school again, it would be considered a suspicious device based on itās appearance. No doubt about it.
If a kid brings bunch of big candles that say āTNTā on them into school for a birthday, they would be considered suspicious. If they were then brought into another school, they would still be suspicious.
So, the police are thinking thereās a danger that heās going to bring it into the school again, and cause another panic?
Since heās been invited to bring it to the White House and MIT, I think that pretty much shuts down that argument.

A: Zero
Iām beginning to think that your comments are the result of pathological thinkingāif itās cops vs brown kid, you are the copsā #1 cheerleader on the TPM comment strings. EVERY TIME.
Why do you always favor the police, even when they are clearly in the wrongānot just this story, but stories like Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and too many others?
It seems like racism, or class-ism or some other ism dominates your posts when police do something horribly wrong to brown people and you defend their actions, time after time. Maybe you canāt see this?
