[Vision2020] Searching house by house in Boston

[Gary Crabtree]

I wonder what the outcome would have been had a citizen replied with what should be the automatic response of "do you have a warrant?"

  Here is a news clip showing reactions to the police going door-to-door 
  in SWAT teams evicting the residents and searching the houses.  People 
  who know me can assume that I'm outraged by this. Shut down an entire 
  city for two guys?  Armed SWAT team members pointing their guns at your 
  family?  9,000 cops in SWAT gear and loaded for bear?  Of course I'm 
  outraged.

  But what gets me is how the people just shrug it off.  "They are doing 
  the right thing."  "They apologized for the inconvenience." "I'm so 
  happy they are doing their jobs."  How happy would you be if an accident 
  happened and they shot your son?

  Inconceivable.

  Thoughts?  Is this really OK?  Doesn't it remind you of "papers, please" 
  and all the other dictatorial trappings we previously only ever saw in 
  movies?

  Is this the new normal?
