I had to dig through my posts twice even to find out what he meant. The rudeness is not only rude, but vague and therefore useless.

The occasion is piled high with difficulty…we will be remembered in spite of ourselves… The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

And if the "rudeness" was so vague and ... useless" why do you care so very much? Methinks the lady doth protesteth too much.The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present.

Maybe I'm just looking at some old stuff, but it seems that the police only have the right to take fingerprints if you are charged for someting. They ca't just haul people to the nearest police station and collect DNA, fingerprints etc.
So, since the boy wasn't charged for anything, just arrested, the police wasn't allowed to take prints.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Will I be fingerprinted and photographed?
Police have a right to fingerprint and photograph you if they charge you with an offence that can be an indictable offence. If the police charge you with a summary offence, they have no right to take your fingerprints and photograph.PLEIS-NB is a non-profit organization and a registered charity.

Forgot :
f the police arrest and charge you with a criminal offence and hold you in jail, you must be brought before a judge within 24 hours of the time of arrest or as soon as possible. If it is on a weekend, you may have a hearing with a judge by conference call.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

IMO.
The school slightly overreacted. Not a surprise considering circumstances. I've seen worse reactions for less.
THE POLICE really overreacted. Was it due to incompetence or bigotry is yet to be determined. (probably a bit of both)
BUT, I think getting a big pay day on a lawsuit is going to be difficult.
I think it will be hard to prove substantial damages. So the kid was cuffed and printed and held for a few hours. The kid has become a national celebrity, with many offers.
An official apology from the department and the cops involved should be accepted as the kid and his parents laugh all the way to the bank.
A long trial would damage the kids image and make his parents look like greedy profiteers. (or using it to push a political point) Neither of which would be good for the kid in the long term.
The kid is going to get a good payoff without having to drag it to court and looking greedy.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

(1) probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, and
(2) probable cause to believe that a given person is the perpetrator of that crime.
Probable cause is defined as positive evidence that would convince a reasonable person that the suspicion was warranted. The cops had no reasonable suspicion in either count in this case.
The suspect does not have to be charged, so long as the probable cause standard is met; police can't charge anyone as it is the DA who charges people with crimes.The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present.

The definition of probably cause has been stretched for decades.
Without a specific declaration from a bomb squad or other expert, we're in gray territory. Common sense excludedIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
