and while I wish they spoke English (because I am too dense to conquer Arabic, no matter how I try), I don't think it is fair to complain that they don't know our language when we are in their country. However, I do think there should be at least one duty at all times who speak the major languages spoken here, since police need to be able to communicate with people.

However, I would like to note that I am a Western chap and I do see them treating Asians very differently (and quite poorly in many cases).
