[Vision2020] Searching house by house in Boston

[Paul Rumelhart]

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?
