Looked to me like a bunch of grown men in “costume”, armed and dressed like soldiers, played a particularly nasty keystone cop version of “Trick or Treat”.

They failed in their supposed “mission” to catch the bad guy.

After they got done playing futile games, one citizen saw something suspicious, and dialled 911 for help.
Bad guy was finally apprehended, after a bit more drama, by the LEOs, who hadn't even searched the area....

But I don't think the cops or the media or the government are going to sit down, talk about what they did wrong, what they did right, and learn any lessons from any of it.

I don't live in a state/large city that restricts citizens from acting on behalf of our own vital self defense.
I watched what happened in those Boston suburbs, shocked at the reactions of the people who live there.

Why should they? The townsfolk shed "patriotic tears" at the mere sight of the Jackboots according to EV.

*The patriotic tears line by EV sounds exactly like something straight from the North Korean government.*
