Title: Media noticing Boston PD Tactics?

I don't like Tom Ricks or atleast 60% of his crap, especially when he turns to politics and slobbers Obama but I read him everyday regardless. Finally somebody but INFOWARS has taken notice. The story itself has the full links.

There is no question, I think, that catching one of the Boston bombers alive was a good thing. Even so, this note, from a smart Special Operator, gave me pause:

... the cops did not approach this well. It was a strategic mistake to shut down the city, but then they did a cordon and search model on homes in the area by getting everyone out by gunpoint. For one guy, not one with a nuke, or a bio weapon, or anything like that and took people out of their homes by gunpoint. Poor decision.

On top of that, it was (as my friend Tim Noah points out) just plain stoopid to charge the survivor with use of a weapon of mass destruction.  Over-reaction on top of over-reaction.

I'm really glad to know that you also find the Boston PD/Shelter In Place/Martial Law situation fucked up HH6.
