You have become a serial reflexive shit-bomber like others.).
Says The All Time Champeen of serial reflexive shit bombing....
None of that military gear had anything to do with catching the suspects or making anyone actually safer. So why is it there? Do we really have small armies of terrorists attacking us here and there across America?

Is it just there to make a show of force for the gullible to think its helpful?
I have to congratulate you rube....

Rarely have I seen so much ignorant nonsense expressed in so few words...

You achieved a real economy of language there...

Oh dear, where to begin....

Well first of all I suppose I should point out the obvious; that when this attack first took place the authorities had absolutely no idea who was behind it, or the extent of the operation. What they did know, was that who ever had done it had the capacity to set off multiple bomb explosions of fairly significant explosive power, and the brazenness to carry out the attack at a major public event....

Given just that amount of information, it seems entirely logical and prudent to me (not to mention obvious) that the authorities would respond with both transport and personnel that was heavily armored....

That just makes sense...(well, to someone of even the meanest intelligence it would anyway)

And this situation...(not knowing who was behind the attack, how many were involved, the possible existence of other bombs being planted, etc,) existed for several days....(I realize that the ability to intellectually synthesize a dynamic situation with multiple factors in play isn't really in your skill set rube, but give it your best shot and try to stay with me here...)

Then on Thursday, photos were released of two strong potential suspects....

After that, there was a firefight between police and the suspects (who had already committed another murder) during which the suspects fired over a hundred rounds, and tossed a number of other explosive devices at the cops....

So from that moment forward the police were in pursuit of one suspect who was at large, who had demonstrated a willingness and capacity to both fire at and throw working explosive devices at the police....

You figure they should have gone looking for an individual like that armed with pepper spray and butterfly nets?
Is it just there to make a show of force for the gullible
Gee, there must be an awful lot of gullible types in Boston....

When this was over, and Dry Dock was finally in custody, when the residents of Boston and Watertown saw police cars driving up and down their streets, they didn't run out to yell, "BOO! HISS! Get off our streets, you overreacting police state fascist bastards!"

No, this is what happened...for hours:

The perps were id'd because of store security cameras and images volunteered by individuals at the scene.

Not by government imposed cameras.

It was a beautiful example of the authorities and the local citizenry working together in tandem to bring a threat to the community to justice....

"Police State" my ass...

I'm at the front of the line to criticize the police I didn't find anything they did that week to be heavy handed or overly militaristic. In fact, they seemed pretty restrained, given what had happened/what was happening.

If the events were reviewed honestly one would have to say that there was no benefit from having people in military garb running around with fully-automatic weapons adn body armor. They didn't identify the suspects. They didn't stop them from killing an MIT police officer. They served no useful purpose in the arrest.

Strictly comic-opera performances for the claque by the overly-weaponized. No effect on the outcome.

The intelligence work in screening a large quantity of video data was valuable but their slowness in securing the dorm room is a surprising lapse.

:lol:

Once again rube demonstrates the rigorous and disciplined way in which he is able to hold on with a vise grip to beliefs no matter how ignorant they are, and with complete disregard to the evidence.

There are some in this world who will cling hopelessly to an illusion when all evidence does NOT support their obstinate and stupid beliefs.

The blockheads who contacted Dry Dock and decided to do him a solid by going to his dorm room to remove incriminating evidence did so right after the authorities released the photos of him and Speed Bump, which was before the police knew their identities....(One of the main reasons the cops released the photos was to get help from the public identifying them)

Tell me sparky, just how were the police supposed to know to go to secure Dry Dock's dorm room before they even knew who he was?

Anyone who doesn't know how they should have dealt with the time element is unfit to post here.

I apologize Joe, you're right, I should have realized that...

Even a person of the meanest intelligence should have realized that the solution here was The Way Back Machine.... :oops:
