Jesus Christ O.O

So is that a confirmation on the police scanner that the 2nd suspect has not been caught?

WHAT

 

[Alucrid]

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.

no, they put out a statement regarding cellphone use in the area. you're just an idiot.

 

[Tookay]

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?

Hmm what else happened in Boston this week that dealt with explosions?

I wonder...

 

[Scrooged]

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.

They said that because using the phones could trigger the undetonated bombs. Possibly killing them. A threat...smh.

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?

[smokeandmirrors]

"he was arrested for wearing a backpack! no probable cause" by some 'friend'.

uh anyone else hear that? If you match a description of someone, that's enough probable cause to arrest you.

Seriously, how belligerently stupid are you?

On mobile, what's the video?

 

[ChimpBottle]

You intentionally being ignorant?

No, merely curious. I've seen lots of similar crimes on reddit (/r/worldnews) but this is the only one that seems to warrant a title starting with "HOLY SHIT". If you believe me to be ignorant, maybe you could help me out by explaining the reason why this is garnering so much shock.

Is the FBI in on this or is this just local police?

Guys we need more guns. If everyone in Boston had guns, this wouldn't happen.

Lots of gun fire.

10/10. Almost made me respond seriously.

I'm rather lost trying to follow this. Think I'll just wait until people start reporting it here

I believe people are seeing what they want to see at this point.

Police scanner, also MSNBC is broadcasting the local news feed.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

so, that seems like it would be the suspect 0on the ground

 

[Dug]

Something is in Code Black. Not sure what though.

maybe you should read the thread or just the title would be enough

 

[Nilaul]

What does code blank mean?

Explosives. In a residential area. After a car chase.

After a campus murder.

Two days after a bombing of civilians at a marathon.

And your standard for too much coverage is that someone on reddit put capital letters in their title.

 

[phosphor112]

What the actual fuck. Kill these fuckers already.

 

[Tawpgun]

I don't mean to sound selfish or whatever, but this shit is making it SUPER difficult to stay focused on studying for my final. I go to school in Boston.

 

[MThanded]

So some other random guys are throwing pressure cookers out of their window in a stolen police SUV?

I just dont understand

 

[Loxley]

God damn.
