Sorry, I won't join in the Boston Police worship

29. Effective political advocacy requires

both praising when something is done right and being vigilant and criticizing when things don't go right.

I think you are missing the point entirely. We should point out the professionalism and restraint of the police in this case precisely because we have had so many examples (even quite recently) of police forces behaving very differently.

Holding the police effort here up in public is very important because it stands in such contrast to other LE efforts. We want everyone to notice the contrast and desire their local police to emulate this behavior.

Consider the amazing contrast between the cop-killer out in CA and this case, or MOVE, or the WACO attack. If the police in the Boston area had been following that mode, they would have practically dropped bunker busters down on the boat, burned down a few city blocks, and obviously never have taken Tsarnaev into custody.

The police and other agencies involved here deserve high praise because of what they did. If we do not praise their behavior, we are implicitly saying that we don't see the difference between this effort to find a very dangerous person and the recent cop-killer vengeance case in CA, for example.
