"Imagine you're one of those people, like, dude, they're asking me to come, this is awesome, now I'm in America, I'm gonna get a good job, I'm going to be able to support my family, and then all of a sudden you have these f**king dudes in bulletproof vests looking for you on the streets. Like, I thought you said it was okay, I thought the Red Cross gave me a map! I was, you gave me the f**king cell phone, and now you're hunting me."
"It was like a recent clip of mine that got like highlighted where I was criticizing ICE. One of things that you don't think about when you're into this is just like regular police interactions, the ones that you see online are the horrible ones so you think all cops are horrible. What you miss is the millions of interactions that people have with cops like, how you doing today sir? Good sir? How you doing? Can I see paperwork? Sure. Here it is."
"You in a hurry? I f**ked up. I'm late for work. You know, alright man. Just slow down. Go. Like, alright, thanks brother. Everything's nice. That happens too. Like, there's nice interactions with cops, there are people that save people from bad guys. It happens all the time. There's people that are thankful that they called the police and they stopped the burglar who was breaking into their f**king mom's house or whatever it is. There's so many more of those, but you're not seeing those videos"

A large number of immigration and police encounters are routine and nonviolent, involving paperwork checks or brief warnings. Positive or protective actions by officers, such as stopping burglars or saving people from criminals, occur frequently but receive little attention because viral videos disproportionately highlight misconduct.
