Wanna know what the mainstream media knows before they report it? Then take a listen to the Boston Police scanner, which is providing continuous live updates on the manhunt for the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
The first suspect in the bombings, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was shot and killed during a gunfight early Friday morning in a Boston suburb.
The second suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokar Tsarnaev, remains the subject of a massive manhunt in Boston.
Prior to the firefight, the suspects are accused of shooting and killing 26-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) policeman Sean Collier. They also allegedly committed a robbery and carjacking – although the victim of the carjacking was released unharmed.
The bombings – which used homemade “pressure cooker” explosive devices – killed three people and injured nearly 200 more, including nearly a dozen victims who were dismembered by the blast.

Will, thanks for the link……this is one of my many interests.
Listen to how the Boston PD , in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies, deals with this situation by listening to the chatter — and then think about how the Columbia PD would deal with a similar situation in Columbia
What (did) would Obama say and who in this country enables these Muslim murderers……That should be the question you’re asking..but the media (and FITS) have rendered too many of you STUPID and brain dead, to ask…
CPD could not deal with a similar situation. Only swat officers with CPD carry rifles. The street officers can carry a shotgun if there is one available. The downtown region only has four shotguns. The northeast region has no shotguns. Also I have been told that the CPD officers have not shot their new guns they were issued. So you would have CPD offiers with 9mm that the police department has not trained them with, going up against bad guys with rifles.

CPD is a sorry excuses for a capital police department
Will, Thank You for the link. It was good while it lasted. Boston area LE requested that the link be taken down and they did, JUST as it was getting interesting. They had an air unit checking a ladder against a building that was not there an hour ago. Also, some woman called police and said her daughter in Watertown texted that she was being held by a man with a gun. Oh well…
FITS DROPPED (is dropping) the BALL, BIGTIME. This event epitomizes his allegiance more than anything in the life of his Blog. He is the establishment.
To thank FITS shows that you are an IDIOT, who cares about Jihad more than American lives…
WTF is with you today?
Papa Hemingway says go off yourself you miserable prick.
Why are the liberals so sparse today. Are you busy cleaing the $#!* off of your face???
You were Stupid, Liars and Corrupt. Will Obama, Will you, Will FITS acknowledge your Criminal level (on purpose) ignorance???..
Will Obama have a national apology to the people of Boston and to the nation for his protection of Jihad…???
…. perhaps he is a masochist — is this his happy face?
You need to read comments at least 3 times to try to understand what they mean to normal, intelligent folks, and then make a sensible reply before you start pissing on people — I don’t have time to put up with that shit right now.
Hey, and stay on the subject…….the world does not revolve around you. I give you a thumbs up on your sensible posts when I agree with you but I may rethink about that.
“To thank FITS shows that you are an IDIOT…”
Coming from you, Big T, that is a compliment. Thank You, too!

I was shown a photo of a a dead officer in a police training manual. He was off duty in civilian clothes and shopping in a grocery store when several guys came in to rob it. He was carrying his newly issued automatic for which he had not been trained. He died because he had his gun in hand but could not fire it. The photo showed him crumpled in the aisle with his gun in hand. Later the robber who killed him said that the officer had him cornered but fumbled with his gun trying to release the safety.
Sad story but an excellent example of WHY they need to do a better job of transitioning officers to the new guns. Even though there are similarities between the FN 9mm’s and the Sig .45’s, there are enough differences to warrant transitioning on the level they did when they converted from revolvers to semi-autos. Of course back then, they had a Captain and a Sergeant in charge of that that gave a damn about such things. Even though the chief back then did not, apparently like the one(s) they have now.
Right – I should have mentioned that it was a switch from revolvers.
Either way, the opportunity for tragedy is there. Your point is valid, regardless!
The question that begs to be asked, is “what happened to all of them?”
At one time, I am told, they had enough shotguns so that almost every main line patrol vehicle had one. I wonder if someone on the third floor has pilfered them and distributed them to their cronies.
You are also right about the absolute MINIMAL training with the new guns. I have heard stories about the lack of transitioning that made me shudder. A gun person will familiarize themselves with their duty weapon, regardless of what the department does or does not do. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of today’s officers are not gun people and will only do what they are required to do by department policy. I smell another fine mess Shorty will get them into (lawsuit).

I will not carry a gun until I have had a chance to run a few rounds though it to verify its reliability and accuracy. I was told a story by a cop in my hometown about how their police department received a shipment of brand new Colt Pythons, sometime in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. Back then, they might go “shoot” at the range as a group about once every two or three years. It wasn’t a qualification as no one was punished if they didn’t meet a certain score, but it was a good way to establish who had bragging rights about their shooting skills and who needed to work on theirs, whether or not they actually did work on it. Anyway, one of the Lieutenants in that department loaded his new Colt Python (back then, top of the line .357 Magnum revolver) and carried it for about two years, never firing it, until they went to shoot, one day. When that Lieutenant stepped up to the firing line and pulled the trigger on his Python, there was a very loud “click”, I am told. He squeezed the trigger several more times, and each time, was “rewarded” with another “click”. It seems that the good folks at Colt had neglected to install a firing pin in his gun. Thinking about that guy carrying a gun for two years with no firing pin in it gave me cold chills. No way will I carry a gun I haven’t fired, first.

WOW!!!!…Left out words like ‘White Elephants’ come to mind…(my apologies to Hemingway, who would likely cringe at being mentioned on a site of this literary level)….)
FITS omission is tantamount to Japan’s ‘Big Lie’ technique…Yall tell yourselves, if the media leaves it out…it does not exist…
FITS signs on an an alternative to corrupt leftwing media…and he is as corrupt as they are: in defense of his god, Obama, and the leftwing extremists…

Let’s clear up one thing. The terminology for these sodomites is “Moslem” with a “z” sound. The PC “Muslim”, with an “s”, was thrust on the American public in the ’90s. Even more disgusting are the sycophants who insist on pronouncing the bugger’s religion like “moose-lim”. What they all need is a shave and a bacon wrapped enema.
