Well, having worked for a Massachusetts based company for many years, I can say large number of locals I have spent time with have expressed some very jaundiced opinions of "The Staties" and their abilities. I think if you look at this incident in isolation and see the number of leaked photos, stories, background items, etc, you could make a case that what we saw played out over the last week was not always a case of top notch law enforcement. Now combine that with the Feds, the National Guard and everyone else they threw at this problem, and I'm very surprised no else one got hurt in the process.
