You guys crack me up. It's like everyone is trying to find the bad and convince themselves that we were being help hostage by the Police rather than Two terrorist bombers

Or maybe I just see it for what it was. Two men on the lose with an arsenal of weapons and bombs, throwing them out of a car on residential streets ... shall I go on ?
You guys WANT a conspiracy and WANT to blame Police. It's like the guy that hates the Police, until they are needed for his purpose.

A few days ago I was able to watch a couple video clips that had since been taken down from YouTube a couple hours later when I went back to find and post their links in this thread. One was a TV news report with action video and news anchor commentary about door-to-door police searches of homes in Watetown.
One man interviewed in the newsclip spoke of being shocked by sudden police presence in his home and ordering him outside. He asked if he could get his shoes and was told, "Just get out, now!" Others interviewed spoke of being kept rounded and out of their homes for hours wondering when they might be able to go back in. Other comments heard suggested people who authorities encountered outside of were ordered to go inside and remain in their homes while others encountered inside their homes were ordered out and were detained in a location down the street for possibly hours.
The clips showed armed police vehicles and officers in SWAT-like gear encountering and escorting people out of their homes and up the street with their hands overhead. It appears some reports and commentary in this thread are at least somewhat accurate and steps have been taken to downplay events and remove some of the more inflammatory and revealing scenarios. Videos I found subsequently were among some you posted above and did not reveal a great deal of details about the events of that day in Watertown.

Appreciate the data! The more I see, the more it looks just as bad as many have suspected from the start. I did see one short clip (think I posted the link) with a news person talking about the situation, but there wasn't a lot of video; maybe 2 minutes total length. Some told to go inside, and others told to leave their homes, people on the ground as though being arrested, and so forth; seems they used a hunt for ONE person as an excuse to run a martial law trial, and see if anyone complained. From most comments I saw on video, most weren't complaining at all, beyond saying it was scary. Someone I know, that I talked to, actually stated they would have had no problem letting cops in to search their home, for NO reason at all, because they "have nothing to hide". Unreal!
I suspected some videos were removed. The last four years or so, online censorship of data seems to be the norm.
If this was a test run, and it's looking more like that's the case, they must be thrilled at the results. Then again, this was Massachusetts. I am not sure this would go over well in some places. Considering the comments from that person I know, though, I could be wrong.
The removal of the videos, concealing the facts, supports the claims of martial law. I don't want to cry wolf, but in this case, I think the furry buggers are at our heels. Thanks again for the information.
If anyone does locate videos with more incriminating actions, please post. Maybe download, too, in case those are removed!

I watched the video. The authorities obviously had a reason to be nervous about that particular property.
As it turned out, the terrorist wasn't at this house. But he could have been.
In the end, they took the fool alive. It was a superb result, and everyone involved that day deserves a pat on the back.
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had no gun when police fired on a boat where he had been hiding Friday before his capture, federal law enforcement officials told The Washington Post.
The FBI would not tell the Post what prompted officers to fire dozens of rounds at the covered boat in a Watertown, Mass., driveway Friday night. Tsarnaev was wounded when he surrendered, but the FBI would also not say whether he was shot during the finale or the shootout with authorities that killed his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan.
Some authorities said at the time the wound may have come from a suicide attempt.
One law enforcement official described the final chaotic 30 minutes as the "fog of war," saying that an accidental shot may have caused other officers to begin firing.
"Law enforcement was placed in an extraordinarily dangerous situation," FBI spokesman Paul Bresson told the Post. "They were dealing with an individual who is alleged to have been involved in the bombings at the Boston Marathon. As if that's not enough, there were indications of a carjacking, gunfire, an ambushed police officer and bombs thrown earlier. In spite of these extraordinary factors, they were able to capture this individual alive with no further harm to law enforcement. It was a tremendously effective outcome under dire circumstances."

Yes. The videos, which I also did not see, support the claims of martial law.

Yeah, right ... You made the effort to edit your post to add sarcasm ...
You meant it and found out just how stupid a remark it was and your fallback was 'sarcasm'
I'm actually worn out posting the same things over and over is all these Boston threads. I have said it time and time again and others have as well. Pictures and video show the shootout. You dont see what you dont want to see, but only what you want to see. Been dealing with your kind for nearly Two weeks now. One member had the guts to say the 19yr old didnt have a bullet wound to the neck when he was getting out of the boat ... and his proof was a blurry picture !
If and when Martial Law comes, you'll know it and feel it !
There were two components to last week's shelter-in-place request in Watertown, Massachusetts. The first was a request that people not to leave home. The second was a door-to-door search by heavily armed law enforcement officials. Those are two very different things, with different implications. But neither was illegal.
...
The ACLU agreed. In a phone interview Monday, Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, told The Atlantic Wire that her organization was in contact with attorneys for the city, state, and the Department of Homeland Security on Friday.
...
Under the Fourth Amendment, homeowners have the right to refuse a request for a search if the police don't have a warrant. But that rule has an exception. If there are exigent circumstances, like the threat of imminent danger, a warrant isn't necessarily needed, but the police must still have probable cause.
