Perhaps you're being critical of suspension with pay existing at all?

Because frankly, this person's history and the nature of the offensive comments are not serious enough to warrant the potential hardship his dependents (whom he has apparently encouraged to seek Asian companionship) may be subjected to, beyond this public humiliation and these professional disciplinary steps. Being suspended from the force on several occasions certainly does not invite promotion over peers who have not been.

That being said, removing him from service until he can appreciate the harm that his comments have brought to the organization he is representing does seem a warranted step to ensure professional standards are met by the force.

The solution to racial ideology must be in demonstrating that the whole of society is indeed currently benefiting from the contributions from people of all walks of life as a basis for eschewing positing thought in such terms, rather than punishing those whose racial views were limited to such ideological gibberish. Otherwise we have lost the argument.
