Not everybody who saw the context sees bigotry and racism:

although I tend to agree with onpon4 that Mr. Murdock probably had an
unrealistically high opinion of human nature and did not anticipate the fact
that mainstream media is quickly dismissing the incident as "the nonsensical
drunken ravings of a lunatic".
I find the spin of the SFBay article:
http://sfbay.ca/2015/12/31/police-confirm-ian-murdock-arrest-before-suicide/
"Gatpandan said she urges anyone seeking help with a suicidal individual to
quickly call police to get them to the help they need."
particularly chilling.
