Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. The woman who was shot "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting officers to open fire, DHS said. She was taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.

In other words, she was doing the kind of thing they do to random people all day long. Knowing how cops feel, it was probably an ordinary traffic jam.

    But the Chicago Police Department “is not involved in the incident or its investigation. Federal authorities are investigating this shooting, the spokesperson said.

    Wonder what they’re gonna find out from their own investigation into them shooting someone for no fucking reason…

    They attempted to murder someone in a car accident. If 10 cars were involved, she was probably pushed into their car by someone behind her. So the cops arrested the suspected federal agent for attempted murder, right? NOPE! Cops are not on your side. Ever.

    Without their cars, they are 100% useless. That’s why they freaked out and started shooting when they thought that they were immobilized.

    Spike strips stop cars. Nobody on the south side can slash a tire? WTF?!?
