Dutch police excels in stupidity

Yesterday was a day a guy got killed because of his opinions on the religion of Islam, which were deemed unsavory by some.
Since the murderer turned out to be someone who is involved with a radical Islamist group, this of course provided a perfect opportunity for some fellow Dutch which I am sometimes ashamed of to share this country with: people who vented their anger by slurring immigrants.
Nevertheless, I think it was extremely silly and downright condescending for police in The Hague to bust them for this.
This is not because I want to redeem any sort of racial prejudice.
But methinks there are better ways of dealing with anger after a horrific assassination than arresting frustrated and emotional countrymen.
Wednesday night would have been a good opportunity to extend the now infamous Dutch tolerance regarding contrary opinions towards our native citizens as well.
After all, after a murder because of a difference of opinions, shouldn't we honor the dead guy by not being too fussy about what people are saying, even if we deem *what* they're saying unsavory?
(We can start arresting people again tomorrow.)
