Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up.
Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter.
Never. Talk. To. Cops.
Hasan Piker was only putting Hasan Piker in peril. Hasan Piker was doing a journalism. He was reporting on the intimidation and harassment of journalists.
Monkey see monkey do. A youtuber with huge influence doing a thing is going to influence his followers to do the same thing, and it'll result in a bunch of people who *don't* have the benefit of being popular youtubers with lawyers blabbing to the cops because they think they can get away with it.
I mean he does literally delineate himself from the other people in the same situation and acknowledge his position of privilege. I mean. He specifically mentions that.
I don't have any skin in the game here, btw
I could really care less about Hasan Piker... literally heard of him hours ago.
What I am getting at is I am horrified *anyone* gets this treatment. That should still be the takeaway from any discussion of that clip.
That doesn't change if he had shut the fuck up instead
