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

    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

    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.

      To be fair, although I’m not sure we need to be, each of them is probably carrying 60 lbs or more of military gear on their body. It’s pretty hard to run at full speed with that much extra weight. That info might come in handy in the future, so long as they don’t just start shooting if you run away.

          I’m in decent shape and I couldn’t run at full speed with that much weight on me. I do a fair amount of backpacking in the mountains with a 50 lb pack on my back so that isn’t conjecture either, I’ve tried it recently.

          Simple physics says you’d also have a harder time starting, stopping, and turning than an unencumbered person. Perhaps you are an exceptional athlete who truly wouldn’t be bothered by the extra weight but I don’t think that would apply to the vast majority of people. Your average person would definitely struggle and I doubt most ICE agents are going to fall into the exceptional category of anything but racism and moral bankruptcy.

              1. Normal movement and sprinting at full speed are not the same things.

              2. Even your exaggerated example requires 6 months of strenuous training to achieve by your own admission. The average person we’ve been discussing has not recently completed 6 months of military endurance training.

        The one that makes me laugh the hardest is the guy that leans back as he runs fwd, with his weapon or something bouncing on his chest. Its so comical (he ends up far left when the cyclist gets away)

    If you aren’t protesting ICE and have a bit of a safety net and a plan on how to deal with these idiots … don’t go anywhere near the US Gestapo because you’ll be taken in and disappear.

    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?
