They have to be allowed to do their job, and ethnicity is a major factor in determining the specifics of a suspect, no matter who they are.

Ethnicity can get you out of a charge or impending arrest if you play the race card correctly. I've seen it happen. The security guard was watching somebody suspicious and a 1st Nations male was nearby and overheard the radio transmission where the other security guard was about to arrest a native lady. The guy blew a gasket that the security guards were about to arrest his wife because she was native. Oh wait, he only heard native lady, no other description was given, how did he know that it was his wife? Nonetheless he created a big enough scene and security decided against apprehending the suspect.
Sorry I'm derailing again....
