Ummmmmmm :S
Backpack. Makes me uneasy.
 
Is this really the only cop shooting that has ever happened? Why is this getting so much coverage? What sets this crime apart from the myriad of others?
 
Some girl in the area on twitter posted something like police told her to get off her cellphone if she wanted to live. Maybe I'm wrong but it read to me like an implied threat that they would shoot her otherwise.

May not be a good time to say this but I hate how police can be such overreacting meatheads.

I'm pretty sure the implication is that her cellphone may blow up a remote controlled explosive, not that they'd shoot her in the fucking face.

Come on, guys.

Seriously? I don't think now is the moment for detailed or delicate explanations.

That's also ignoring the fact that they're out there putting themselves in the line of fire right now.

It's obviously them telling her the cellphone might set off the explosives.

They were afraid that cell signals might set off an IED - I think.

No, it was probably because they didn't want it to set off any possible explosive devices. Congratulations on calling the cops, one of whom has died tonight, meatheads.
 
So is the MIT shooting related the bombing or no?

The Watertown events are still undetermined/unknown?

Is there any other discussion of hijacking a car?

In boston right after the marathon bombings. Explosive devices were set off. An officer killed. Explosives lying in the street. What do you mean? Are you seriously not reading the thread?

Calm down. They don't know how the bombs are triggered.

A car chase involving a stolen state police SUV and a series of explosives being dropped out the window

Less than an hour after a campus police officer is shot

Two days after bombings of civilians at a marathon

Yes, why would anyone possibly think this merits interrupting programming during the all-important 1AM ratings hour for? :p
 
Stop this. They said they were worried about explosives. Lets start cop shaming in here. Standard neogaf fare.

if thats the case then i agree. i cant decide which way to read it.

i can see the cops having a perspective of hey, if you're on your cell you could be putting cops somewhere else in danger, so deadly force could be justified.

i mean i doubt they would actually shoot somebody for being on a cell either way, but still.
 
The eagerness the internet is showing to confirm the guys are Middle Eastern is interesting.

Is it because the marathon bombing suspects both appear to be Middle Eastern, and people want them caught?
