Expensive 'Homeland Security' Policing Fails At Every Step.

29  2013-04-20 by marcy_anon

The bombing wasn't prevented even though they knew and had contact with the suspects prior to the event, and numerous security, bomb dogs etc. on the scene.

They let the suspect evade them not once, but twice.

It wasn't police work, but the tip of a resident going out for a smoke that gave away his location.

All that money spent, infrared detectors, helicopters, dogs, detectors, private security firms. It's a real bargain. Great work, high fives all around!

Its all security theater to train you to accept martial law and military on the streets.

I accept them already, what am I going to do, resist? LOL. Hell, I'd make coffee for them.

Well my friend, you have to resist, if you don't than many others will go down your road with you, stand and others will rise.

Losers sign on with losers. They know that if you don't and they try to use it to gain strength. Resist, or you are one of them.

Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

Those who trade freedom for security deserve neither.

Security is for those who live in fear for the unknown.

Only when America has one police officer, one alphabet agent and one drone assigned to each citizen, will America finally be safe. It's really just a budget issue.

Here is my problem: Within ten minutes every single person in the Boston area who has ever been suspected of ties with terrorism is in the hands of every investigator. Three days later, they have a press conference and pretend they know nothing about these guys. What is that? If they had been in contact with these people, they know where they are, what they are doing, where they live and show up the same day if they are suspects. How did this go down at the FBI?

It wasn't prevented because they were American citizens and have rights. The FBI stated that they were investigated up to the legal limit. Even though they were found to be interested in radical Islam, it apparently wasn't enough to justify something like wiretapping/tracking that could have exposed them.

Ya but what if the FBI is lying?

Tell that to Miranda.

Well, then what's the real concern?

Apparently many of you all fear some "inevitable" totalitarian police state under permanent martial law.

Is your concern really that firstly it will be expensive, and two that it won't work properly?

1  [deleted] 2013-04-20

Why not both?

1  marcy_anon 2013-04-20

yeah because 'totalitarian police state under permanent martial law' is not a concern in itself? wha?

1  Meister_Vargr 2013-04-20

Perhaps you should have made that your title?
