Brian Sosa

Sidam is such a try hard lol

James Oss

"Are you in the jrotc" best question ever omfg

Tyler LeBlanc

Sidam needs a press suit

$hitbag503 if you could help a brotha out

Samm Fabish

Please change the title and language away from the "riot" rhetoric because that's not what this is and it's fox news af. Y'all are better than that.

Howard TheDuckDoe

Sidam was cracking me the fuck up. Stay safe out there my boy

T

Look we not gonna pretend yall LA mfs crazy asf. Y’all literally the scum of the USA making shit worse. Vandalizing property and ruining the economy for business people. Using every excuse to act out like a little kid. Seriously grow the fuck up, get sober, and think about what should be done instead of destroying the world we live in. You’re setting a bad example for the next generations. Like it or not we need cops to protect us regular Americans and you people are the ones we need protection from. Makes me think you’re over compensating for something. I’m just gonna say to a lot of cartel members are Americans now and that’s more of an indicator of why it’s getting so out of hand, besides wrongful deportations, which I am against. But don’t be fools and think that’s not playing a role in all of this because it in-fact is.

Andres Salazar

Exactly

Andres Salazar

For real

Gabriel Martinico

I hope pt.2 is better cuz this was goofy

Gabriel Martinico

Didn’t see anyone smack him

Brat90210

The title of this is annoying. Most of the protests are peaceful. But the way you’ve worded it is giving Fox News. It’s not a riot. A few bad apples doesn’t take away from the authoritarian government that’s trying to take over.

Avery Bolenbaugh

need the other days man gotta see whatsup

langiam

The title feels odd - you call it a protest within the video itself; it's not a riot. Any chance you'd consider an update?

Alex Peasley

Hope you are all safe! We appreciate the boots in the ground but understand the risk. If you need help send us a code or something.

Adam

Hey where is night 2 and specifically are you detained right now?! Lol

trythinking

I think you're looking at it backwards. The police are there to prevent burning and looting like we have seen before. The police is a response to the people out there. And stormtroopers were a nazi germany paramilitary group under hitler, so you probably should do some reading before making an ignorant comparison because that is not even close to what you're calling it.

Diego

This whole situation hurts me so much. I agree with protesting and I understand that it comes with strong feelings and opinions but also it’s not right to be damaging the small businesses and communities like Little Tokyo. These businesses and people in the community are trying to protect of what’s left of mine and their culture from what happened during the internment camps in World War Two. We are prideful in our Japanese American culture and it’s already hard trying to face the challenges of raising prices, litter, and drug problems. For example the oldest ramen shop in Little Tokyo had two guys walk up to the business and say fuck 12, cursing at the owner when the owner was telling them to stop respectfully while spray painting and threatening the owner that he would hurt him if he tried to stop them from spray painting. The community does not deserve this. I understand that with every crowd there is no pure good or bad. But let’s try to have more compassion. This shit really breaks my heart to see. I’m not even at home right now. I’m in Japan studying abroad. But seeing this deeply angers me.

Vincalota

I can't believe you caught "tasted like fascism" guy, peak

Shawhin Layeghi

This

Shawhin Layeghi

Man I felt that way at first about how Sidam was interviewing the cops, but i realized at the start he was asking reasonable questions, then they weren't talking, so he just started trolling. I thought it was pretty funny The rest of the vid is quite educational IMO, it shows what the people protesting in LA are thinking and feeling. In part 2 or 3 i imagine we will get different perspectives, but it really depends on who's willing to speak

Shawhin Layeghi

I disagree, it just happens that in this video (which is only part one!) that the only people willing to speak to C5 were the protesters. And the video presents their opinions and voices in an undistorted way, without adding any commentary. I'd say that's pretty objective

Alexander Schneider

Thanks for what? Acting like a hooligan and escalating the situation?

Alexander Schneider

Yikes

who, me

In view of Mr. trythinking's various comments in this thread I want to remind everyone that you can block users and will then not see their comments anymore. I am all for critical discourse and back and forth between different viewpoints, but in this case there is clearly no good faith behind the inflammatory shit posts. I would suggest using your energy to talk to people who arent completely gone yet.

Sarah Dixon

I hope you guys are safe it’s been quiet let us know you are ok

trythinking

you mean illegal criminal invaders. thats what undocumented is, just trying to make it sound good. but its illegal criminal invaders

Grayson C

Hey Andrew can you talk about senate bill 3 here in Texas on one of your newscasts this bill bans all THC in Texas it’s reefer madness 2.0

Candelario Calderon

can we get a react to this series similar to the anti-ice 5cast when ur back in the us andrew

Tyler Lee

I was out there Monday at the detention center. You could see inmates waving flashlights through their narrow windows. Stay safe out there.

David Schlesinger

Day 2?

ZilchGnu

subbed for more of this type of content.

Samuel Pomerleau

I don't really care. This is all entertainment to me! Wut?! Not you? My ASS!!! HOLE!!!

user_22

good video but hopefully there is more coming as the situation has gotten worse

Charlie Keeley

Well done boys

Potato Man

Sidam asked the cops genuine questions but they're ignoring him so he gets sarcastic and jokes around. Andrew does the same shit. If you defend pigs then you're part of the problem

Syllaeus

LOL at these comments full of bootlickers. You are all cowards and fascist enablers. You are weak and cosplay caring about freedom and preventing government overreach but when it comes down to stormtroopers on your streets brutalizing your neighbors who dare to protest peacefully you stay in your caves, roll over, and lick up everything they feed you. Good on you, Sidam ✊ Power to ALL the People

Candelario Calderon

the outro is literally lefty saying fuck the authority. you think they're not gonna support this?

Candelario Calderon

yeah it's not cool bro but you gotta realize that those losers are like 16 years old. I was a loser once too so I'm sure they'll grow out of it. the interaction was kinda funny tho

Leo Martinez

Where's Jill Stein? Lol!

Thomas Ogrodny

This is not journalism. What has this channel turned into?

Mister Ejire

Yo am I the only one that not cool with shorty tossing around nigga like that? I don't rock with the police, but that wasn't a term of endearment.

JellyBelly

I disagree with your 'cops are murderous' sentiment. The vast majority of police officers sign up because okay pay, and because they are doing a service for their community. If these idiot protesters wanted to protest something real that actually immediately impacted them, they'd start with Gavin Newsom and The Wonderful Company. I just see a bunch of brainwashed kids running the streets, full of misguided and shallow empathy for something they've been lied to about, and breaking shit. It's a disgrace to real protests.

gandalf3

isn't the optics the point? pride was a riot.. ur comment confuses me what do you think ppl should be doing?

Axel Jensen

you have clearly not been to one of these protests.

Adam Guerin

I agree Ben: Sidam is a badass and American cops are murderous...

Ben Ralph

Sidam is taking a huge, unnecessary risk going into that situation with the ski mask on. An adrenaline filled, trigger happy cop sees a guy in a ski mask and thinks that guy probably wants to hurt me, and the mask is to help him get away with it. It's tombstone courage.

travis henson

night 2???? or 3????

Samu

literally started crying when homie was shouting out his trans girlfriend. love will win.

DeluxEquity

I have learned so much from C5 videos and I love showing my friends/parents things I've learned from them. So i really hope part two is more educational and less antagonistic.

Jeffrey Andrews

yeah this isnt very C5 to me, little to no objectivity and kinda just adding to the tension. Thats not a journalists job to me

Chris

This shows that we’re past the point in history where protests accomplish anything. Everything is done for the optics and most of the people there are performative. Saying that there’s a threat of totalitarianism and then complaining that the timing of this is bad because you wanted your pride parade shows it. You don’t give a fuck about stopping anything you just want to feel like you’re apart of the right side of history.

August Sittig-Bell

Agree

Bryan R

on every single mainstream channel, you clearly already saw it.

Will Engelmann

Thank you Sidam! <3

Joseph Collar

larp session? its a protest what else do you propose people do

Patrick Henley

Appreciate your work g love from Los Angeles

Gabe Wiggins

I’m disappointed with this one. Sidams just contributing to the negativity.

who, me

Really? "reflects poorly on your entire race"? wtf is going on in this comment section?

Alexander Schneider

Antagonizing the police while wearing a shiesty... disgusting behavior that reflects poorly on your entire race.

who, me

I agree fascist don't deserve a platform. But telling people to "off yourself" in here coz they write comments you dont agree with is not the way forward. These are Channel 5 patreons, so how about you give them at least some benefit of the doubt? Tensions are high enough already, lets at least try to behave like reasonable adults in here. You really think you are affecting anything positive with statements like that?

Onyx

The protestors were calling the Waymos in to destroy on purpose; Waymo has since disabled service to the area for the time being.

Dick Van Sexel

These pathetic losers complaining about standing up for undocumented migrants. If you all got what you wanted then you would start bitching about rising costs of things like ur favorite restaurants. Fuck u boot lickers

Onyx

Exactly, the amount of comments I see here telling people to hill themselves is very disheartening.

ThatGameGuy

deeply saddened by these comments. I saw channel 5 as a glimmer of hope in america for a rise of actual curiosity and deep interest in genuine understanding of national issues. What i see here is no such thing. It's just people looking for a fight, not for a conversation. Why assume the worst in others? why assume everybody who seemingly disagrees with you is the enemy? what world are you trying to build, or do you seek only to destroy? it's pathetic, small minded, and just sad.

Rodolfo A

Probably just supporting the channel at this point I’d love some Patreon only coverage, even if it was chill

pacoycruz

Is there any reason to stay subscribed to the Patreon if everything ends up on YT? Like what’s the incentive? Genuinely asking

Onyx

Sidam isn't serious enough for topics like this.

Nic S

yea dude its almost like Bidens admin followed the fucking law and gave people due process retard

Nic S

cry harder fascist piggy

Nic S

if youre up in these comments bitching legit do us all a favor and off yourself. Fascist's dont deserve a platform to defend themselves (even tho Sidam gave those traitor fucking pigs a chance to speak anyway)

MAC

Highly disappointed in this coverage. The unbiased usual programming is what I love about channel 5. Sidam seems to be antagonizing the situation instead of getting the sides of both people.

Zachary

"Find a new job because LA about to go up in flames." Yeah fuck every last one of these ppl. Get em out of here.

GM

these revolution LARP sessions are cringe, their heart is in the right place but like wtf are these idiots doing but being nuisances and furthering the police state

Martin Blair

fuck you get a moral compass

m

because you havn't been affected yet, your "democratic vote" didnt do a damn thing for missing indigenous women, or victims of sex trafficking, but if i say that YOU are illegal, guess what? now you are, because i guess americans decided to vote away due process too. Congratulations, you sold out your own ppl for nothing. enjoy your time in the gulag. And no matter how white or loyal you think you are, it wont save you either.

Andrew Ramos

She said these ICE agents are on a whole another level compared to the regular LAPD which she has been protesting for 10 years (3 minute mark). This woman has been a professional protester for 10 years, goddammit woman, get a life.

MrPooPooJohn

This is going to get worse. Much much worse than this. And not just in L.A.

$łɛɛẓ̌Ÿ ṅŶx̌

Is it just me or 5 waymos in a row is kinda strange? Seemed like the most surreal waymo commercial ever.

Emmett Stokes

Fuck yea Sidam.

trythinking

so get the fuck out!

trythinking

yea they are

Harry Cloud

I wanna see the real shit. Where the burning waymos?

Adam

honetly shout out to sida helping the kids hop the fence. legend

Roman McLean

Kill yourself

trythinking

get the illegals out. these people are dumb. its no surprise all the same rioters are the pride community lol. get a damn job losers.

August Sittig-Bell

Same herw

Cassandra Chowdhury

I am disappointed in this coverage. The questions and actions all seemed designed to inflame, not get actual conversation going or cover the reality of what was happening. I attended the protest and was prepared to show solidarity, but I ultimately left because I didn’t see how burning cars or graffitiing the VA or Japanese American museum was helping anyone.

Jean-Junior Desaulniers

I really don't get some americans who say they are in a fascist, racist country. The majority of americans especially want illegals and foreign criminals deported. That's why people voted democratically for Trump...

Marcus Emery

PLEASE do a 5 cast with dead city to talk about what’s going down rn

Danny Guerrero

Biden had around the same amount people deported in his 100 days than Trump but fUcK fAcISiSm amirite?? Let’s not even speak about Obama…

Jean-Junior Desaulniers

They protect you in the end. Gosh people are so entitled...

Dante Bleu

Sidam giggling hard af as he runs from cops lol

Sean Katz

Great journalism, people need to know. If I was 20 years younger and less quadriplegic, I’d be out there with y’all. Stay strong and stay safe. Fuck fascism

Dogzone

Incredibly important journalism. You’re risking a lot for this footage; seeing this side of reality keeps me grounded in it and I’m inspired to fight for what’s right. Can’t wait for continued coverage.

Nelson Anderson

Yes, give them justifiable reason to really crack down on your cause.

swellpunk

Been wondering what’s been going on in LA. Great video. Would love part 2 to have an explanation of the details of what’s happening on the ground as this feels more just like an exposition, which is understandable from the quick turnaround time. Want to learn more—ie. why are the police defending ice, who ordered the police to come and why, what legal reasoning (if any) do these police and ice have to operate in this fascion [sic]

Addabad

I'm so thirsty bros whens pt 2

Alex Bryan

Channel 5 thanks for being on the ground where it matters — much love!

Daniel Bognar

You sounds like a decent vocal person. Could you explain what actually going on, because neither side of the story clear enough.. One shouts riots and vandalizing private property and the other saying detaining illegals not lawfull. Questions, 1, Why detaining illegals not lawfull? The very least they can defend their decision and start process of becoming legal imigrants front of court right? 2, Why is there soft language where the protest is actually becomes violant and desctructive.. for a person like this who not in the US sees this as go easy on rioters and do nothing to protect citizens values. 3, Is detaining an illegal automatically follows deportation? As far as I understand only people with criminal records gets sent back to their country of origin. Side note, as a legal migrant myself I dont see how covering for illegals gives them or your citizens any good as it will only result in letting them being exploited by shady employers and trap them into a limbo without path to begin life in legal way.

Ruben Garcia

NOT US DOE Sidam is a fucking legend

Daniel_Driftless

Arrest them for what? Using their 1st Amendment rights? Just say you want to live in a police state and have your big daddy take care of you.

skevin

naw. he's waving to get someone's attention.

Michael

The important part of this for me was seeing the LAPD show up to defend ICE. They are not supposed to work with ICE. Even if they were there to "keep the peace" they could at least speak to the crowd about what they're doing to get rid of ICE in the community and possibly what the people can safely and legally do about it. If anything, the LAPD were more aggressive than ICE was.

PR

I have to say I'm really disappointed with some of the behavior in this comment section. Some are pointing out that this feels unusually partial for C5, asking why that is, or asking for the context behind these riots, and all of them have been quickly met with name-calling and insults. Regardless of how obvious the answer may seem to you, try to explain it, and certainly don't default to childish insults just because someone asked a question on a subject they may know nothing about. Especially so when one of the common, if not the most common, narratives on this situation is simply that illegal immigrants have been detained. For many, being in the country illegally seems like a reasonable enough justification for being detained. People are regularly detained for less. If you want to change people's minds, give them the information to do so themselves.

Nayeli Mancilla

thank you

Gavin

TWICE

Adam Mortell

We really need channel 5 right now. The only truth that may be out there. I think they are trying to make us angry so they can use the insurrection act and get the bbb passed. If that happens the US will be thrust into civil war. I know I am not following their unconstitutional shit. Others won't either. First time they use it on an American citizen that will ignite it for sure. God forbid they kill someone. Charge your phones if you go out. Record Report and have the strength to resist the animal inside. Until we need to. Not before. Let them fire the first shot.

Ryan Fenton

great coverage, very real, but idk don't doxx or broadcast the movements

Alice Berg

thank you, as always, for being one of the only news organizations to be on the front lines

Adam Mortell

Is the masked guy going to get arrested? Trump is calling for masks to be arrested lol. Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Fuck MAGA

DungCrumb

Arrest every 4th person they see and these "mostly peaceful protest" will stop.

mud

Found the bootlicker

TheHunts

this is bs..... zero objectivity.... total fail

holly

Thanks for the quick turnaround, appreciate it.

Lachlan

asking the little cop if he was in jrotc got me good lmao

Ballsman

I know this sounds radical, but when do we starts exercising the 2nd amendment?

Ryan Pawlak

This guy failed algebra LMFAO

linkerman500

habeas corpus wil be removed this is his plan. he wanted this. he was pushing hard trump was that is to do as much as he could to piss people off hoping he could get people angry to so he could get rid of habeas corpus so he can finally become dictator...i said it before i'll say it agian. the only way violenc protest work is if you can shut down everyone in power at the same time. leave anyone who can do anything about it in trumps lane and you loose you have to silence all of them at onece this riot isn't silence anyone it just give him "justuification' very slim justification for removing habeas corpus

savethebaysteve

Fuck this guy's Cava order. It is insane to me the people here and elsewhere not condemning and even condoning ICE actions. They are beyond cops, these dudes are gestapo. The one person in the video who was reticent to say gestapo is totally right. These are some brownshirt fuckers. They are not your side, or America's. They are the literal enemy.

Andrew

lol what's the other side of this? We should continue to randomly deport any brown person? We don't have to "both sides" everything when some things really are this simple.

Jamie Martin

Why is a bootlicker subscribed to Channel 5?

Myles Christian

Why is this so biased? From watching the “submission” video I thought “real” journalism covered both sides?

Dully

As a fellow Charlotte i felt really weird with that shout out 😂 good on him for loving his girl tho ❤ On a more serious note, i am scared for the people there and i truly hope that there will be minimal bodily damage towards them from the law enforcement. I am not American, but i stand with their cause. Something big is brewing and i'm not looking forward to the grand reveal.

Nic

yeah when you act like that to someone that remembers you from a class you are cooked. these cops arent human anymore.

Nic

cops choose to be non human when they take the job. treat them as such. their humanity cant be reached it is gone and owned by the state

Matt Sturbate

Jack Cave

lifeless faces all an act, tough guys who know they’re wrong; but they’ll keep burying themselves in excuses or will purposefully never face the reality of what they really stand for and support.

Jack Cave

the American Gestapo in their new US Police Uniforms armed to the teeth to fight the same population they join into when they clock off.

Miki

Thank you as always for your quick, fair and true journalism. As a non US person, it’s very worrying it looks as if Alex Garland’s civil war is happening. Stay safe 🙏

neatguySteve

you're probably trying to understand a lot of stuff

Emily Martin

America would not be somewhere I would be proud to live if we weren't the melting pot of diversity we claim, but we also claim humanitarian goals but we're complicit in helping Israel commit genocide and training Morocco to do the same thing in the west Sahara rn

Emily Martin

Lol melted ice bro reminds me of one of my friends on shrooms

Emily Martin

3:15 she's wise they are just in their own conditioning and they think they're doing the right thing, but good intentions can still pave the road to hell

Jinx Alex

That intro was so funny! Love Sidam

Nathan Lute

Stay safe out there! Thanks for getting out on the front lines for us!🙏🤙

Emily Martin

Dude I think he's my favorite channel 5 correspondent, I don't even fall for Para social crushes or anything, but his girlfriend needs to beat me up so I stopped lookin at this dude 🤤
