As a white guy tho you're safe.

EIGHTEEN FBI agents raided my dad's house looking for plutonium. Then they raided his other house because they weren't even smart enough to contextualize the raid. Had my dad been brown? That would have been a no-knock warrant with battering ram and flash-bangs. I know this because I had a buddy who was looking for me one fine day, at the exact same house, who was white but happened to look native american and they had him in a stress position for thirty minutes after rolling four squad cars across the lawn at him, drawing weapons and holding a K9 a foot from his face barking and ready to murder.

DEVIL'S ADVOCACY: White people are itchy about the Patriot Act because it gives the police the right to treat white people like brown people.
