Down on Brown

Seattle student Ian Spiers recounts a series of encounters with various arms of the law while attempting to photograph a landmark bridge in a lucid and chilling tale of a brush with racial profilling in the United States entitled Humiliated, Angry, Ashamed, Brown (link tiefed from this post from Hulver's Site). Colour me some sort of simpering, bleeding heart idealist if you will, but don't these sorts of authoritarian shannanigans somewhat undermine some of those grand personal freedoms the yanks are always bleating on about? Begun, the clone war has.
