Any sort of crisis, could be a bomb threat.

How do those assholes have grenades and autotmatic weapons, and I can't buy a box of 22 or 223 Ammo at Wal Mart?

Here's what I've gathered, not sure if it's 100% accurate.

Ok, so after the officer got shot at MIT, there was a carjacking in Watertown, and when cops responded the carjackers were shooting at them and throwing grenades before the carjackers barrelled past them and got away?

Also, some kid was arrested for having a backpack and was released shortly after.

Some robots are looking for unexploded bombs on the street.

Any info on the devices? Pressure cookers?

sensationalism gone wild or what?

Any info on the devices? Pressure cookers?

I don't think they know what the devices are yet, or if they exist; the bomb squad has to look inside the backpacks.

"Second vehicle being deployed at Dexter and Nichols." Appears Swat truck I just tweeted headed there. It's a Boston PD special ops truck.

Sounds like a cop circle jerk and cluster fuck, so far.

I bet everyone in that neighborhood right now wishes they had an AR15 with at least a 30 round mag. #shamelessguntweet
