Well, if this is actually true than good. But don't you think these officers are being told to avoid the arabs, because this would be racial profiling? I hope this profiling is not like what we see in our airports.
I have no idea what these officers are being told .. but if anybody in NYC is paying attention and is taking a clue from the UK and profiling - we'll end up safer in the end.
Somebody needs to tell the ACLU to pound sand. These people, for the most part, are not American citizens - and therefore have no "rights" afforded to them.
