The thing you have to understand about generally middle-eastern people, and more specifically Lebanese people, is that they're raised up to act tough, to appear tough. They do this through gangs and large groups.The Brucemaster said:Actually he didn't grab him and harass him because he was Middle Eastern, it was a strategy to solve a crime.
Whether that strategy was the 'right' or 'wrong' thing to do is debatable but either way it was effective....
The showcase this behaviour even at school. I'll give you an example:
Okay, you have an "Aussie" person, who in Yr.9 picks a fight with a Lebanese person, because the Lebanese person has annoyed him for a long time, and quite frankly he's sick of it. The Aussie person has a fat-muscular build, so he's quite strong. They end up having a fight. The aussie person is winning the fight, and along comes another Lebanese person, who is of similar build, who sneaks in a drop punch and drops him to the ground.
Fast forward 1 year later, and there's another fight, as the "wogs" have, in groups, been saying things about his sister and his mom, constantly shouting obscene slogans and suggestive comments to them. He takes this silently and relatively peacefully at first, until he has enough and begins to start teasing the lebs back. Eventually it ends up as a fight, as he's finally snapped, and its ended up a 5-on-one. He manages to get dropped on the floor, and while down, is repeatively punched and kicked, while lying on the ground for really no justifiable reason. They then try to act "apologetic" the day after, trying to act pleasant to get away with it. The lebs for the most part, got away with it (2 afterschool detentions - nothing), but it literally sickened the co-ordinator (who was lebanese, but was a bit too easy with them i have to admit).
The end result is that the guy is now a racist, towards everybody as a result of all this. He's racist to "wogs", asians, blacks, you name it. The only person who he's not completely racist (if there is such a thing) is me, since i've really done nothing wrong to anyone throughout school, and is known as a relatively peaceful person.
Not once have i seen a Lebanese person go into a fight without 1 or more person going in as well during the course of the fight.
And every single lebanese person that i have seen, and interacted with, have showcased their personality, or aspects of their personality, to be similar to the portrayed "lebanese stereotype"
Got a bit distracted, so now for the response so back to what i was saying:
If the police, does actually force him by the neck and does what the police officer did in the article, then he can effectively control that group. Thats because compared to the middle-east, the police here, is waaayyy too soft.
