I assume they could just say "looked distressed/nervous, we thought it was a hostage situation". Or maybe Patriot Act.

Isn't there a huge problem here if people refuse to be searched? Otherwise your sweep really isn't complete, or maybe they are relying on dogs.

Didn't think they had the right, maybe if they declared martial law.

And for the record, that chick is a **** - not the time to be making a political statement.

She refused the search and then took to twitter to brag "not searching [me] illegally"...like she's proud of herself for being a "patriot"

At least that's how I read it the first time. I think I inferred the wrong tone, harmless

She also said if they wanted to come in, she would have let them.

Shootout in Watertown: good guys- 15 police hospitalized, bad guys- 1 dead, 1 on the run :confused:

also, I haven't heard anything regarding this, but when suspect #2 ran over his brother and drove through the line of police to escape, did anyone pursue him? if so, at what point did they lose him??

With so many false reports and false starts the details are pretty sketchy, best I can remember was at some point he jumped out of the car and bolted between the houses. You know Boston, the houses are very close together. My guess is he put some distance between himself with the cops being very cautious with a well-armed suspect in a residential neighborhood.

I thought it was unusual that they didn't search if she had allowed them to (what the hell is a door-to-door search without actually searching?). So I assumed she refused, and then to say "not searching illegally" sounded like some libertarian with an inflated sense of self-pride.

Amazing this 19 year old kid had 9000+ member of law enforcement who supposedly had him surrounded gets away, but the cop killer in LA with military/police experience couldnt get away in the mountains which much less people after him.

I read it completely differently. I read it as they asked to search and didn't just come inside (whether or not she agreed to the search isn't the point), and then she made the statement that they are not illegally searching (or in other words, they aren't just barging in to each house).

Their perimeter was how many square miles? 300+? That's a massive number of homes, and last I heard several hours ago was they had searched about 2/3 of it.

I think how you read it is the same way that anyone on this site who DOESN'T spend too much time on our political forum (ie: under 2 minutes a day with their purpose there being to laugh at all the silly people is safe; more than that isn't) would read it.
