... The transcripts also include hours of Bovino giving evasive responses as he defended agents' use of force and characterized protesters as "violent rioters."

He was repeatedly questioned over an Oct. 23 protest in the historically Mexican-American neighborhood of Little Village, where Bovino initially claimed he threw tear gas canisters after being hit with a rock, which he said hurt but did not break skin.

As he was questioned, Bovino admitted he was "mistaken" and the rock was thrown after he threw the tear gas.
