No thanks, Nanny Doomberg/EternalVigilance...I'll protect myself with my 2A right to bear arms.
We are all missing the irony in this situation.
We, mostly non residents of Boston, MA, are criticizing the way the cops treated the residents of MA.
When in fact, the sheep in MA voted for the government they have.
What have they got? A mayor who is dumber than a mud boat.
A governor who is so liberal....there are no words to describe him.
The voters have allowed said government to make the ownership of arms very difficult.
Now they have to rely on cops who can’t shoot straight, who put guns in the faces of little old ladies and children...
And we are wasting our time defending the sheep?
The hell with them. They got the government they deserve.
Will other departments in other states try the same stunt? Probably, but just think....there is another lesson in that event.
If two guys can put the entire PD of a major city into panic, what do you think will happen in a red state where there are thousands of people for every cop?
The cops in those states know this and they will not be nearly so anxious to try the Boston model.
And most of them are decent people who don’t want to try.
But bottom line: MA voters deserve what they have for government and law enforcement.
Don’t give them another thought. Instead concentrate on preventing that kind of government in your/our state.
