The Real Face of Terror: Behind the Scenes Photos of the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Manhunt
In response to the controversial Rolling Stone cover, new photos of Tsarnaev?s capture emerge.

The Rolling Stone cover featuring the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has, of course, set off a firestorm of controversy across the country. Critics believe that the cover glamorizes Tsarnaev, depicting him as a kind of rock ?n roll outlaw rather than a terrorist who has been charged with killing four people and seriously wounding hundreds of others.
Sgt. Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer with the Massachusetts State Police who has photographed the funerals of many officers killed in the line of duty, is furious with the magazine. Murphy, who also acts a liaison to the families of fallen officers, is so angered by the cover?which he says is both dangerous and insulting to the victims of the bombings?that he feels the need to counter the message that it conveys.

UPDATE: Photographer Relieved of Duty for Releasing Above Photo
Quote:
A Massachusetts State Police sergeant was relieved of duty Thursday after supplying Boston Magazine with graphic images from the capture of the Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the editor of the magazine said.
Mr. Murphy told the magazine that he decided to release his images ? which show a bloodied and surrendering Mr. Tsarnaev ? after feeling angered by this month?s cover of Rolling Stone magazine, which featured a softer portrait of the alleged bomber.
In a statement he accused Rolling Stone of ?glamorizing the face of terror? and providing an incentive to others who might seek fame through similar acts. ?This is the real Boston bomber,? he said of the Mr. Tsarnaev depicted in his images. ?Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.?
In a series of messages posted to Twitter late Thursday night, the editor of Boston Magazine, John Wolfson, said Mr. Murphy had been ?relieved of duty,? and had his gun, badge and computer taken. He has not been fired, Mr. Wolfson said, but will face a hearing next week.
