If I had gotten hit by a car to get this photo it would have been worth it

A man in a black helmet and khaki motorcycle gear rides his motorcycle down a street in Manhattan. In the motorcycle’s sidecar, a dog that looks like a heeler mix stands at attention with his front paws up on the front of the sidecar, his eyes protected by a set of khaki motorcycle goggles. The dog is wearing a harness that sort of looks like a biker vest. He appears to be having the time of his life.

from estamosunidosnj: On 9/23, ICE injured a man they were trying to abduct and he was taken to Jersey City Medical Center. At the ER, agents posed as police to try and gain access inside. Throughout this, Jersey City PD assisted ICE and escorted them demonstrating clear collaboration. #ICEoutofNJ
