U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino is under intensifying scrutiny in Chicago after he was recorded on Thursday throwing what appeared to be a tear gas canister at protesters, leading attorneys to accuse him of violating a temporary restraining order that bans the use of tear gas, pepper spray and other tactics against journalists and protesters unless under imminent threat.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that Bovino was struck in the head by a rock thrown by “hostile and violent” protesters, though several witnesses challenged that contention.
On Friday, Bovino was ordered to appear before a federal judge on Tuesday.
Needs state charges. Federal courts can’t do shit without the executive branch’s cooperation.
Whoa, he was the commander and the one who threw it? He’ll get promoted up the ranks and/or get a stern rebuke. Someone needs to check his computers for child porn stat.
If they find any they’ll give him a cabinet position.
Ray Kelly pepper sprayed a bunch of young women who were kettled for literally no reason and he’s the longest reigning NYPD commish
What is it with R Kelly and spraying young women?
“If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them: Don’t protest. And don’t trespass,”
Oof owie ouch
“Don’t protest”
Your mask just slipped a little bit there, Bovino.
