I’ve noticed no one has a solution for a better way for Law Enforcement to have approached the hunt for two murderous terrorist thugs.
Demands to "DO SOMETHING! NOW!" are a sure way to trample freedoms.

You’re kidding, right? Yes, there were better ways. Plenty of them.
First, when they were identified as terrorists and placed on the watchlist last year, law enforcment (FBI) failed in their responsibility.
Next, after the bombing, they had clear photos of those two DAYS before the first shootout. They showed them to the media, but not to us. Had they done so, someone would have known them. They likely could have been rolled up and stopped before the murder of the MIT cop, and the carjacking.
Again, when they had the first shootout at the traffic stop, they could have won the shootout, and preveted either from leaving. But say they screwed THAT up and one got away. With the effort commonly used to find a burglar or car theif, they should have apprehended him quickly.
The tactic of sealing off a mid size city, telling everyone to stay indoors, and searching in the manner they did is an option that reveals an utter lack of skill and intelligence.
They FBI and FBI blew numerous chances to do good policing, then when it was a full crisis, they argue that they had no choice other than to re-enact D-day in Boston. This is a red herring.
PS,,for extra fun, remember how he was in the backyard, in a boat, clearly visible on FLIR? Theres a hint there. NO matter how you slice it, that was low skill policing on display.
That’s my point. Sure there were problems but screeching about them doesn’t solve anything. We’ve got to find solutions and implement them.
One of my neighbors is a former Detroit cop. He suggests that neighbors get to know each other and find some trusted locals to go door to door asking to look around with the understanding that all they report is whether they did or didn’t find the perp.
Bull sh*t...It was a GD homeowner who called the cops as thousands of cops were playing military searching homes which were not even involved...
This is how most crimes are solved. The cops get tip, a phone call, and they rush in, many times attempting to take credit for "solving" the crime and finding the perpetrator.
It's why the feds released the video...They couldn't find these AH's who lived right down the road.
They were busing cops in by the school bus load with a billion dollars with to LE resources running around like WWIII started.... It was big government hysterical BS the likes of which have never been seen...
It was an absolute scary embarrassment, and likely what's to come regarding bloated, out of control authoritative big government attitude towards people on the streets and in their homes.
