people were screaming police state in the 1960s, saying in 10 years, well,, here it is 50 years later and well, just wait another 30 years....
i'm not saying you are wrong, but historically those claiming "police state coming" have been wrong.
also, 48 square miles, dwb. 7.9 million people. think about how the bomber bros revealed themselves and look at how that unfolded on the map. they shot the mit guard then were spotted across town in 2 separate cars by the watertown pd, who engaged in the gun battle. they popped up, murdered a cop, then popped up across town in a shooting spree.
also, i don't think anyone picked up the phone and called in 10,000 reenforcements, more likely, several calls were placed from multiple agencies asking for backup and everybody sent everything, ending up with 10,0000.
i think if it were actually organized, and a call went out, it would not have transpired as it did. it simply unfolded as a new situation is prone to do, which makes it all the more remarkable nobody was killed by authorities.
