If a homicidal maniac who possibly had dynamite strapped to his body were hiding somewhere in my neighborhood, I would let the cops in to search my house and wouldn’t blame them if they stormed in if I didn’t answer the door.
I’ve seen this video in the last few days. I don’t see anything in the video that would confirm this search was in Watertown or was made as part of the manhunt. The police don’t seem to have interest in anything in the neighborhood but the occupants of that house.
If in fact it was a part of the Watertown manhunt, definitely questionable tactics used against people who most obviously weren’t their suspect. I suspect they were operating under “exigent circumstances” which does allow the Police to enter private dwellings without a warrant.
This is Bullshiite, I am really sorry about what happened but these cops are still massholes.
First Waco, then Ruby Ridge, The police went from door to door confiscating guns in New Orleans after the hurricane, and now this outrage in Boston. This unimpeded government will surely grow as monstrous as the Nazis or Communists, just give them time.
It looks like a very inefficient use of manpower. It was a several block area, so why not just establish a perimeter, make a sweep of the area (outside homes) and check everyone going in and out of the perimeter?
I would really like to hear from the families themselves, that had this done to them.
Do the people in Massachusetts realize how defenseless they were as "We The People".
To Massachusetts: Go back and read the Preamble to the Constitution. Then read about Paul Revere again.
Then think...

The disturbing part is that they thought or wanted everybody to think that he would actually enter an occupied residence to hide rather than OUTSIDE somewhere or leave the area.
