Maher is wrong. They were hunting down terrorists, not thieves. We have to sacrifice things to remain safe in society.

Robert Traynham told Maher that the kind of police activity in Boston isn’t what people see every day, putting the particular events into perspective. Maher pointed out how the British police don’t carry guns, and Jimmy Kimmel brought up public and government surveillance as the more important point of the “police state” argument.
Smith questioned if the U.S. is becoming not just a police state, but a “military state.” Traynham acknowledged that these are “Big Brother techniques,” but they ultimately helped authorities locate the bombing suspects. Avlon pushed back against the idea that America has suddenly become more Orwellian, sugg
Maher played a video of police opening fire in Watertown when they had the second suspect cornered, finding it too ridiculously over-the-top, considering everyone wanted to take him alive. Maher bashed the cops as “unprofessional” for opening fire in that particular situation.

People afraid of a police state? Welcome to the party, you're about 25 years too late.

How long must society be tortured by this bird brain that couldn't even make try outs for a role in a comic book ?

When something like this happens, law and order are responsible to the intelligent responce which never ever includes being so stupid, as to think there is nothing more yet to come in danger, and whatever nature of that danger could be if so.

BM wants us to devolve along with him to further back then little insects, bee's for example.

If its not one thing with this nut...its another. What an embarrassment now that all these things are globally seen.
