Can't really comment as to whether this case is racist or not, without more evidence.
It could very well be, or it could just be a case of sour grapes.
I suspect there are racists in the police, just as there are in every profession, but thankfully there are laws in place which make it illegal, if brought to light.
Not really a race issue, but this recent story certainly highlights religious intolerance at work within our police force.
