Ron Paul: Boston occupation should frighten us more than the attack itself

[Type Username Here]

What's crazy is how actually ineffective a militarized police force is in preventing just about anything except for dissent. If you look at Mexico, they have the military doing police work in fighting the cartels, and that would probably constitute the most militarized response to a criminal organization in the world, and it is utterly useless. It's clear a more surgical approach is far more effective than this purposely intimidating and obvious show of force by the government.

For sure. This very thread proves that.

You had a lot of posters in here advocating the shelter in place because they feared being indiscriminately shot by the police.

one poster clarified that he feared being shot by the hasty decision of a heavily armed human

I'm sure your second amendment weapons would protect you from the police state though

one poster understands basic probability.

1000 armed LEO vs 1 armed 19 year old in hiding.

A lot of people with weapons might though.

What the hell are they shooting at? They confirmed they found no weapon on the 2nd suspect.

You figure someone in the media might stop and ask, "Excuse me, you know that barrage of fire your officers opened up in a occupied neighborhood during the day? Well, since we know that the second suspect didn't have a weapon on his person and didn't initiate contact, what exactly were you shooting at?"

Imma have to roll with Herr Braun Paulus on this one... the response was utterly terrifying... mufukkas came in some futuristic hoopties with the cannons on the top

The type of shyt the Boston PD was crazy.

That's not the military, that's the Boston PD. The increased militarization of local-level police is a cause for concern.

Good thing that the government lifted their temporary martial law order, otherwise that man might have not alerted them to the presence of the suspect or might have been arrested for stepping outside of his house.

That coward was hiding in a boat in someone's backyard because he couldn't go anywhere else due to the law enforcement presence. If they didn't shut shyt down, he'd be running on foot in the woods somewhere or in a stolen getaway car, not cowering in a backyard boat.

that or they were using blanks and the whole thing was staged

Negative young man. Straight assumption on the part of Vic.

We know the hid in there because he was wounded from the night before and had NO weapon.

Tsarnaev hid on the boat after nearly a day on the run and was eventually arrested last Friday, after an order for Watertown residents to stay in their homes was lifted. A homeowner found blood on his boat and then spotted Tsarnaev inside.

He had no weapons and was wounded.

Don't know if you realized this, but when the suspects saw their pictures posted by the FBI, they went ahead to commit more violence, not run away.

How is that assumption? If there wasn't a heavy police presence that had barricaded the town off, he would be laying in someone's boat in their backyard?, lol. He would've done what every other fugitive does...run. There's reasons to be troubled about the martial law that was put in place, but let's be serious here.
