In USA for a lot of (unprivileged) folk that was always true, ppl could get in random unrelated trouble for reporting a crime & needing police assistance.
I’m glad I didn’t grow up fearing the police, like in an emergency, I would run to them, seeking/getting help.
After all, they are public servants, they work for & get paid by the people, they shouldn’t be controlled by politics & oligarchs.

Well these Meal Team 6 chucklefucks are not police.
Were they looking for this guy or did they just say to themselves “Hey he looks Hispanic, nab him.”
What the actual fuck?!

He was circling on the bike taunting them, saying stuff like “I’m not an American citizen,” and the ICE dudes just tolerated it until the bike rider dropped his phone, and detected weakness and pounced, before the guy snatched up his phone and managed to ride away.
Tragicomedy is the best description.

Oh!!! Taunting and yelling “im not an American citizen!”. while riding around them on his bike…
I suddenly wouldn’t have felt that bad if they had caught him.

My man, why do you trust so easily? No source, no evidence, just empty words on a screen.
Be better.

Even if he was, I’m pro-harrassing ICE agents really. They are not here to protect us.

Apparently he had hurt their feelings by shouting “Fuck ICE” at them before this Benny Hill/Keystone Cops routine started.

They might have ordered food, and thought they wouldn’t have to pay the tip if they arrested him.
