As a mother of mixed race children, I shudder to think how they will be treated if and when they ever are involved in conflict where a racist police officer is required to act.

I hope you mean punished if you are a police officer... legislating anti-racism just makes you what they are. Hating a hater is the same... it IS moral equivalence.
The European nations that have done so have become what they sought to avoid, fascists.
