I would have coordinated these drones with the over 4000 cameras all over Boston to hunt these faggots down and arrest them. They already knew what they looked like, etc. From what I understand, the cop that got shot, had confronted these guys, and they were in a "hot zone" already when the firefight broke out between them and the police. "Hotzone", being where the police and FBI though was the highest probability that these idiots were.
Imho, there was no need to canvass and use the 4th anmendment temp powers for warrantless searches in an emergency. I do agree they did the right thing by waiting them out, but according to NPR as well as eyewitness accounts, these 15000 residents that had the knock once, loudspeaker warning and then bust the door down approach, was approx 3-10 miles away from where the suspects were actually caught as well as staying, seemed well, just a little bit overboard...

ok, got it. not going to judge, i have no idea. i am glad you thought it through, i wasn't sure. too many people jump the gun without trying to see it like you did.
also, i think your idea would probably be the way things go, right? obviously we will see more drones as a result of this. do you think a plan like your's could have been implemented a few days ago?

Esp since, apparently Al Qaeda, has bases there... I love this country, I love what this country is built on, but I hate the direction this country is going. And it is an unstoppable direction, imho.

here's the thing about the response that at this time makes me give the benefit of the doubt until further details are revealed-
when the authorities called in the resources that amounted to 10,000 cops, etc, they did not know to what extent the group of bombers was. it's not unfair to allow them to see a possible scenario involving more than the original 2. now we more than likely know it was just those 2, but in the early morning hours of friday, they did not even know that.
