RE: Boston bombing.
In spite of all that manpower, helicopters with FLIR, hours of searching, APCs with turrets, house to house searches, a home owner found him in the boat after the police searched the area and called it clear....

If the police want to justify the military equipment and tactics as necessary to ensuring the public safety, then it needs to be successful during the most public display of such a need. What we took away from that search is that even with all that tacticool technology, they still can't catch a wounded bleeding kid.
