"One of these punks is going to roll on the others. After that, the rest of them are going to be in a world of hurt!"
There's nothing for them to "rollover" on. There's a huge billboard on I-75 in metro Atlanta with the same character promoting that show.
Instead what we saw was a bunch of swats eager to gear up with all their toys and scare the city to death over a silly cartoon network promo.
Now the mayor is fuming because he looks like an idiot. So does his PD.
Noone is going to rollover. Course the city may pursue them to hell and back having had their incompetence exposed.
Since had they been real bombs, they would have exploded before the mayor and his LE discovered them. Apparently Boston is vacated by police and civilians after dark. Because they hung them in plain view with cameras rolling the night before. But the focus now is that someone has to pay for exposing the incompetence of the city of Boston and it's mayor.
And all night long they had the lights on and were dutifully giving every passerby the finger. Their purpose was clear, if obnoxious. In the morning, they shut themselves off, and they were found, identified as suspicious and removed within and hour or two.
I don't know what level of omnipresence you expect out of the Boston Police Department. But finding and removing nine items in random locations within a couple of hours sounds like a pretty good performance to me. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
