At any point in the past, most people would criticize "running from the police" but now it's the most socially acceptable it's ever been to cheer someone on.

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.

Where did you see this bit? It starts at him picking something up

Replays from the start of the interaction after playing through the escape.

I liked this guy when I didn't know the full story. But now that I know that he was yelling at the fascists on the street I love him. Thanks!

LOL what a BA, thanks for the food delivery

Prove it.

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

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

We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent. - Justice Sonia Sotomayor

As should we all.

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.
