Harboring/supporting a suspected terrorist...good to know whose side the nutters are on.
As for the door-by-door search, the police were involved in the pursuit of some armed and extremely dangerous individuals, that allegedly perpetrated a cowardly and horrific assault on innocent civilians, killed a cop, and engaged the police in a fierce firefight the night before.
I guess the police were just supposed to nicely knock on the door, and when purecane73 answers the door and tells them no terrorists are present, they should just skip along to the next potential hiding spot, being careful not to offend anyone in the process.
The people that feel this was an invasion of their Constitutional rights should sue the police if they feel that their rights were violated, or they could have just used their 2nd amendment firearms to try and keep the police out (no doubt that's what a warrior like Alex Jone would have done), although I doubt that would have turned out very well either.
There was a recent high-profile kidnaping/disappearance of a teen girl in my region, and the police engaged in a door-to-door search, and although I was not happy at all to let the police in, the detectives were polite, looked around, saw that it was all clear and politely left. While inside, they could not help but notice my cannabis vaporizer and cannabis. I mentioned that I have a doctor issued medical marijuana card and they said that they didn't really care about that. It's been close to a year since that visit, and I've had no other visits from the police. I am satisfied that they were just doing their job (although the body of the girl has never been recovered, police are treating it now as a homicide, and have a suspect in jail awaiting trial).
While we armchair debate the issue, and possibly some lawsuits are filed, I believe that the residents of Watertown and the greater Boston area are overall pleased with the law enforcement effort to stop and apprehend two very dangerous individuals.
Or maybe these cheering citizens are just government operatives:
