At around 3:30am staff began installing the barriers at eight locations around Parliament.

I'd have thought: What the hell's going on here? There must be a mistake. I've done nothing wrong.
Now, for another question. If you were shown an identity kit of a person photographed or stopped, what do you think the chances are they were: Māori? Pākehā? Chinese?
Let's try another. The incident is reported on TV. How many of your fellow citizens would express any surprise that the person was Māori? I suspect, very few, because we all "know" Māori commit crimes. But we would be surprised had they been a violinist, a businessman or a school dux.
It could be called conditioning or brainwashing or mind control. The shaping of our minds to draw certain conclusions. Some might also call it racism. -- ACW
