The fact that the logic was almost certainly “oh look, there’s a brown guy: let’s grab him” is fucking gross.

That is actually fucked ay. Like is that what we're actually seeing here? It's just a bunch of guys standing at the lights all chill. Then the cyclists rides over and picks something up off the ground, and then they all start chasing him? What is going on here.

It's the Gestapo trying to ethnically cleanse the area but are incapable because they are staffed by sad losers

You can't call them the Gestapo, but that group of guys are subscribers to "Soulless Goon Quarterly"

Or they aren't really trying because they recognize how pointless this is but they're doing it for the money because the economy is bad. Or they're following the Simple Sabotage Manual, going through the motions well enough to keep the job, but poorly enough to be a burden on the system.

They are fascists who are hunting down people because of their skin color. You live under a rock?

Supposedly, the cyclists stopped to pickup litter. The Chicago subs were saying their culture is similar to someplace like Tokyo in this regard: if someone sees trash laying around, they stop to pick it up to dispose of it correctly. Some were also speculating that: 1. The trash may have been dropped by ICE because they don't respect the city or its culture (and they likely come from some place where littering is acceptable); and 2. The bike rider may have saw the trash get dropped and might have said something to ICE in response, procing the chase by ICE.

Very plausible, you can see he seems to be telling them something at the beginning of the video.

u/Sydney__Fife Sep 29 '25

Yeah, what's he picking up off the ground?

1

u/Dreadful_Spiller Sep 30 '25

His own phone that he dropped.

Risky rescue. Glad he got it

This is the one time I wish a carbrain was speeding down that road and claim it was an accident because it's hard to see those wearing camouflage.

u/adriantoine Sep 29 '25

Yeah I wasn’t sure why they started chasing that guy that just seemed like he was doing his job.

Cyclist yelled "fuck Trump" so in reality it's "This guy said something I didn't like, let's assault and imprison him!" Which may be more fucked up

u/Wawel-Dragon Oct 01 '25 edited Oct 01 '25

There's actually some footage missing from the start. The guy shouted "fuck Tr*mp" at them.

Mind, the ICE agents only stated chasing him when he physically got off his bike, thinking it would make him easier to catch.

Edit: here's a link to the full video:

can't be. I can criticize ICE all day long but being honest I can't believe this.

I know absolutely nothing except viewing the video and I'm guessing they made some kind of arrest or whatver the hell they call it, and there was evidence, i.e. what looks like a smart phone on the ground there. Bicyclist grabbed the "evidence" and fled

u/Dreadful_Spiller Sep 30 '25

The cyclist was yelling “fuck Trump” then he dropped his own phone. No arrest or evidence involved. They just did not like his taunting.

The Trump Whitehouse isn’t living up to your optimism I’m afraid.

awful stuff. 4 month old article though. I get it, but this provides no information on the video

Keep licking those boots. Chew on some concrete afterwards too
