As stated, the lock down did not catch the terrorist. It wasn't until some guy came out of his house to have a smoke that the terrorist was caught.

Correct. Some idiots just don't value freedom.

Liberals hate liberty and the constitution.

Witness this thread.

urbanlife still hasn't answered my question - which was 'how were the Boston cops actions constitutional"?

I guess that he is happy living on the plantation, and will soon be happy living in a concentration camp, courtesy of the American left.

Let's talk about the video that was posted.

Again, what would have happened if they told the police, "No, I'm not coming out and no, you may not come in".

Pay attention please, I have no problem with their "voluntary lockdown" or whatever they want to call it. Tell people to stay off the streets for their own safety is fine with me, let people choose.

Going door to door with weapons drawn SWAT team style while forcing innocent home owners out of their homes at gunpoint to search them is what I have a problem with and so should you.

Maybe you should inform the families of those people who were killed that you prefer your freedom over the lives that were lost. Heck, while you are at it swing by the hospital and say that to the people who were injured.

What does Boston have to do with Watertown? You do know that Watertown is 34% Republican, right?
What does being Republican have to do with LE acting like Gestapo and violating our constitutional rights?

One's party affiliation has nothing to do with the constitution.

Maybe you should read it some day. You might learn something.

We're talking about it now, that's the first step. Based on your replies alone I'm glad we're talking about it because it's clear that some people are clueless like you are about what freedom actually means.

And the cops would be in jail for murder.

Do you really support LE violating our constitutional rights? Are you a Nazi?

Because you haven't answered my question yet, what are you gonna do about it? Whining on a forum site doesnt count.

And I answered your question, I am fine with how the terrorist was captured.
