Weaponized Cops and the Future of Freedom

[merrily]

5. I wish all of America could have seen what was going in the streets of

Watertown and Cambridge Massachusetts overnight and during the day until the surviving Tsarnaev brother was captured. Not to mention that a total of 7 cities and towns were "sheltering in place" all day.

On a work day, few to no cars or pedestrians in seven cities and towns, including the City of Boston. Black tank-like vehicles going street to street with cops clinging to the outside of the vehicle and jumping on and off as they knocked on door after door.

Was it all necessary and proper or not? I don't know, but I thought I was watching some dystopian nightmare movie that went on for hours and hours.

Did all this happen since 911, or was it going on before as well? Don't know. But, the secret's out. We in Boston have been living in an uber surveilled, discreetly-occupied city.

BTW, kudos to whoever came up with the term "shelter in place." Sounds like what everyone dreams of doing on a lazy, rainy Sunday morning, doesn't it?
