Why are people mad about that.....the bombers were in full kiling mode...throwing homemade bombs....killing en masse....I dont get it....I know it was only two guys (then one) but they were literally waging a war in a neighborhood...is it so shocking that the people trying to catch the suspect were in a search mode like that picture shows?
Sorry for delay - this fell between the cracks.
If it was just me, it could be written off as yet another paranoia attack, but this type of behavior reinforces the Them vs US scenario that so many in law enforcement seem to have today. The militarization of our police force, in a lot of peoples' minds, brings us that much closer to the Gestapo mindset. Actions like this reinforce that - and the fact that you see nothing wrong with it doesn't help.
So if that is the wrong way for the police to search for a suspect in the marathon bombing....how would you say is the correct way?
