A small tidbit :

Police began an investigation into Mr Thomas for fraud during the incident, but have since closed the case.

So non only the police didn't need to be involved but they also tried to find fraud charges instead of helping the victim of racism...

Small chance, but it might have been a case of due diligence. The police might have done a by the numbers investigation just to ensure he had a solid verdict that there was no fraud.
