If they needed to search homes because of the possibility that the terrorist was holding up in a home and was taking hostages, why did they force the inhabitants to keep their hands up at gunpoint and pat them down? Could the terrorist have disguised himself that well or have been hiding in someone’s pocket? The cops weren’t looking for the suspect, they were treating all citizens as criminals and conducting illegal searches.
.....Yet the irony of it all is that it took a guy who wanted to go out for a “smoke” to find bomber number 2, right in his boat!
