1.But you shouldn't really base your opinion of how you think the police MAY behave in future on how they behaved 30 years ago.
2.Again, that was 30 years ago.
3.And I spend a lot of time in areas with a more densely populated Asian community, and I can tell you there are a LOT more Asian officers in the force. Good thing too, if you ask me.

But do you think that any spot checks on Muslims would be viewed as racist if thay are carried out by Asian (possibly Muslim) officers?
