OMG
, like, can't believe what just went down in Chicago!
So the feds are trying to shut down Commander Bovino from talking to the judge about the whole tear gas thingy?
Like, isn't that what he's supposed to do? Be a commander and make sure everyone is following the rules?
I'm kinda stoked that the court is all like "nope, not gonna do that" though
. The whole thing about him being an inquisitor instead of a neutral adjudicator makes total sense. Like, shouldn't he be focusing on enforcing laws and stuff?
Not doing some judge's bidding?
I guess the government is all like "oh no, our guy is getting in trouble"
but honestly, it seems pretty fair to me
This is wild that they're basically saying that a commander in charge can't be held accountable for his agents' actions, especially when it comes to using excessive force on innocent people like journalists and protesters 
. The fact that they're trying to block Commander Bovino's daily meetings is just another way of avoiding accountability 
.
