In a 5-minute phone call to dispatchers, a federal immigration officer requests police backup last October to help with a kid tailing him on a motorized bicycle. "I need someone here now, or else I'm going to have to shoot this kid," the officer said on a recording of the call obtained by OPB.

WTH was he afraid of? The kid on a motor bike vs an SUV. Even if the kid ran into him, it would only be the kid that got hurt. Then again, the poor guy didn’t have 4-5 other guys to take the boy down and beat him. Big tough guy🙄

What does the vehicle the anti-ICE hero was using have to do with anything? And what is a "motorized bicycle" anyway? Is it an ebike, a moped, an e-moto??

I live near where this “chase” happened & know the area well & while horrifying it’s also kinda funny what a chickenshit coward this ICE officer is. Some kid on a moped following you in a residential neighborhood in broad daylight & you’re so scared you’ve got your gun drawn as you call 911? Weak!

I hate the use of the word “confrontation” in this headline. This was a legal observer exercising their rights as an American against a force regularly breaking the law sending people to torture camps.

Listening to the phone call, it sounds like the "kid" is coming up on the agent when he stops and beating on the windows. Based on that, confrontation sound appropriate.

They get really angry about receiving any pushback, period. They want to be seen as the heroes, but they haven't even been given enough training to know when or how to de-escalate. To them, everyone who doesn't love them deserves to die.

Why do you characterize the young cyclist as "the suspect"? Of what was he suspected? Watching the watchmen? Is that a crime? Isn't that your actual job? Are you "suspects"?
