"Siting the points AEA posted, I don't for a minute think the teacher or the police thought this was a bomb. I think they were just out to knock that smart assed brown skinned Muslim kid down a couple pegs. They don't need those kind mingling and showing up their lilly white red necked progeny"

SNAFU- u called it. Further from the Washington Post

“He was a weird little kid,” Ralph Kubiak, Ahmed’s seventh grade history teacher, told the paper. “I saw a lot of him in me. That thirst for knowledge . . . he’s one of those kids that could either be CEO of a company or head of a gang.”

The Morning News was told that Ahmed came into the school district in the sixth grade with almost no English, but soon was fluent. That he was indeed an electronics whiz, but one who was sometimes bullied because of his religion, called “ISIS boy” and suspended for defending himself in a hallway fight. That when he was disciplined — for infractions such as building a remote control to turn off a classroom projector or blowing bubbles in class — he once recited the First Amendment.

“This kid was being pushed. At least he thought he was being pushed,” Kubiak said. “He’s got a habit for attracting or being in situations — being on the outside.”

And just this week, in response to records requests from The Post and the Morning News, among others, the Irving Police Department asked Texas’s attorney general, more or less, for permission not to release anything.

“The Irving Police Department has received requests for information which fall within exceptions to required disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act,” the letter, sent to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, read. “The Department has withheld that information, and requests an opinion from your office holding that the information is excepted from mandatory public disclosure.”

Citing relevant sections of the Texas Family Code, the department pointed out that juvenile justice information is confidential — and that the release of personnel files of three officers involved in Ahmed’s detention might prove dangerous.
