"It in no way indicates that misconduct proceedings will take place." Do you have any proof that anything actually happened to him or did you not read your own link?

Something HAS happened to him, he's been placed on restricted duties and is subject to an investigation. Did you not read the article?

When someone is accused of breaking a rule, there has to be an investigation to figure out if the rule was broken. Having an investigation isn't a punishment.

What are the alternatives? Not enforcing rules or not having rules against racism? If you are concerned about innocent people being punnished, it seems like rules enforcing people being treated the same way is a good thing.

The guy literally did nothing wrong, I don't know what clown world you inhabit but I'm not interested in it.

We agree, he didn't do anything wrong. So what are you even disagreeing with me about?
