This story is going around the usual circles, but there are a few things wrong with it. First of all Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was actually arrested by an MBTA SWAT Team.
The FBI tried to negotiate his surrender and he was eventually taken into federal custody. Considering how many people were involved in the actual arrest and how many agencies got involved, we’re talking about a lot of personnel that were in some way around.
Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw were members of a hostage rescue team. I’m having trouble finding any legitimate news sites, not counting the usual Pravda-Ron Paul-Infowars conspiracy network sites, that even say that they specifically were in the area.

Sure, muslim terrorists in Federal custody get shot and killed every day.
I’m seeing people simply declare that people don’t just fall while rappelling from helicopters. That’s a little like saying that fire doesn’t melt steel. (They do and it does)
Anybody know what an MBTA team is?
In rock climbing, the largest number of deaths happens from rappelling, for a variety of proposed reasons. I think it’s because people sometimes don’t take it seriously enough. If something goes wrong, you have a long, long drop and you are NOT belayed.
And top generals don’t fall like domino’s.

Thanks.
So the Transit Authority has its own SWAT team....Lord help us citizens....

From Wiki on Mogadishu
>>During the operation’s first moments, Ranger PFC Todd Blackburn, from Chalk Four, fell while fast-roping from his Black Hawk Super 6-7 while it was hovering 70 feet (21 m) above the streets. The film Black Hawk Down shows that he slipped when the helicopter was forced to take evasive maneuvers to avoid an incoming RPG fired from a nearby rooftop, although, according to Bowden, video does not show the helicopter moving. Blackburn suffered an injury to his head and back of his neck and required evacuation by SGT Jeff Struecker’s column of three Humvees
Does this mean that the Boston terrorist and all who gave it material help will get a show trial and then go scot free?

NOAA, SSA, Dept Ag, Dept Int, DEP, DER. DNR, ACoE etc all have their own SWAT teams.
Lord help us is right...
Actually, if you are rope into a it’s pretty dang’d difficult to fall to your death, for an experienced person and that depends on the belay used.
I use the most basic one and I’ve found myself upside down before. Stoopit !!!
But, I’m no where as experienced as two men and really?? What are the odds two highly experienced and athletic guys are going to lose total control on belay??? Unless they both crossed their line on the opposite side??
Even then, it won’t result in a free fall. Will give you a fk’d up rope burn but, you land recover proper looping and it’ll hurt. But you’ll laugh it off. a f
Isn’t that an additive in milk?
Dept Education SWATted someone in LA for a delinquent student loan a little while back.
Also, I’m not sure if the initial report has since changed, but I heard that they were over water, but did not die from drowning and that the impact was the cause of death.
