They can’t in general say that all those homes were, in fact, under siege.
They were mistaken on where their demarcation should have been and only after a “Shelter in Place” was lifted was the turd found.
Still, they may have arrested me but, probably cause isn’t reasonable.
Otherwise they would conjure up that authority anytime a bank was robbed. They could just guess where they robbers are, in general, and then go house to house and business to business.
Without specific information they have no probably cause and the punk wasn’t even in a house, so their theory would be further undermined.
They should have called in the Coast Guard.
It is elite panic and the police got caught up in it. Bostonites are essentially wards of the state, like so many urbanites, and this is consistent with that mindset.
