Cops Caught Intentionally Driving Poorly to Make People Road Rage
Sorry, officer, but you were being a real jerk!

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino and the agents under his control have been patrolling the streets of Chicago over the past two months. They’ve also, according to a new court report, been totally evil and obnoxious in the process.
A 233-page report from U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis alleges that officers repeatedly justified the use of force by claiming they were in dangerous situations. Ellis wrote that, in many cases, the officers weren’t actually in a dangerous situation — or, if they were, it was one that they themselves caused.
For example, while officers claim that they’re at constant risk of being “rammed” by cars, Ellis’ report states that officers “drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force.”
In other sections, the report alleges that certain officers would announce their intention to get violent or throw tear gas canisters before they even encountered an incident. Ellis notes that there were multiple instances of officers “actively attempting to rile up the protesters.”
When asked about these incidents, some officers reportedly gave accounts that conflicted with evidence. Unsurprisingly, Ellis wrote in her ruling that an agent used ChatGPT to write at least one report.
I think there’s only one way we can solve this problem. First, fire these people. Second, jail them. Third, when they get out, make it legal to brake check them whenever you want. That’s called restorative justice, people!
