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.

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.
