I don't even understand what prompted them to start chasing him. So little of this makes any sense.

Are they just chasing random pedestrians?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They are allowed to racially profile now. Yes, if you don't run in fear from them and your skin isn't the right shade of pink, they will arrest you and figure out if you're legal later.

This is 100% "papers please" nazi bullshit.

Okay. So we're at Slave Catchers stage of repeating the run-up to the Civil War.

Apparently I was too focused on Trans issues, that I missed this escalation.

Made this for you:

They are punk ass shitstains who think 'if we charge at someone and they run away they must be an illegal'. Nevermind that anyone would flee at the sight of their ugly asses even if they weren't in uniform.

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.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 67 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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?!

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.

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.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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!

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

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 11 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 15 points 1 day ago

... multiple highly-trained ppl didn't catch some dude pushing a delivery bike?

At some point it's not even running away from ICE, it's just like casually crossing the street away from a slow moving (fascist, for some reason) zombies.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 20 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I thought the idea behind a uniform was that it was you know uniform. who the hell wears a stetson as official uniform hat?!

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

These are the same guys that would cosplay special forces in full tacti-cool gear at Trump rally’s and counter protests.

Except now they’re getting a govt paycheck for their incompetence.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Dumbass Texans

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I'm honestly surprised someone doesn't start dressing like them and just infiltrate them.

Is this real? Why aren't they all opening fire? I thought this is America.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Prob no bystanders to potentially get shot, they try to be efficient.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

They don't care about bystanders, they just don't want the bad PR.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

They've been instructed to not kill the detainees until they get back to the office. Bad optics.

At least this explains why my Giordano’s delivery was late.

Ban on foldable bikes incoming ...

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you mean radical leftist folding bikes.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago

All new bikes sold may only be able to steer right.

Okay if GTA is like this then I totally understand now. The way they turned around like pathetic NPCs 😂

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, if this was GTA, more agents would have spawned in front of him just off camera, and plowed into him with their cruisers.

GTA’s crazy cops were started because of a coding bug. The game devs wanted cops to navigate to the player then brake, before hopping out of their cruiser to arrest you. The astute programmer has probably already seen the error here… The cops navigated to the player and didn’t start braking until after they plowed into you at full speed. Then once you were laid out on the ground, the cops would hop out of their cruisers to bust you. The devs forgot to add any kind of “brake before reaching the player” distance to the player’s location, so the cops would just run you down at full speed. But during play testing, the devs discovered that the players thought it was a lot of fun, constantly dodging the wildly homicidal cops. So they left it in, and GTA was born.

Apparently he said something like "fuck Trump", and they got big mad.

[–] Whippygoatcream@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was on the bike circling in front of them taunting "I'm not a US Citizen" They were just laughing it off until he dropped his phone on the ground. Then they tried to pounce on him as he went to pick it up. Tbh he's lucky those dumb shits didn't shoot at him as he rode away.

Future pizza delivery guy outruns fascist enforcers sounds like an awesome low budget 80s movie but it's not that much fun to actually live through

Is there a database of ICE employees?

Asking for a friend.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 116 points 2 days ago (4 children)

That first guy that ran after him pulled something. Guess we'll be paying for him to be "sick" for about 3 weeks.

You can tell the cowpoke in the cowboy hat is an expert tracker.

I'm sure this delivery guy was super dangerous by the way he was out in public without lilly-white skin.
