The MBTA officer who lost all his blood...friendly fire?

[morningfog]

That is some hail of friendly fire. Glad he is recovering. But, the BPD/FBI is looking worse with each new revelation.

1. Why would there be a suggestion of friendly fire?

Tamerlan and his little brother caused the whole thing in the first place.

[morningfog]

5. The suggestion is from Boston investigators.

I don't dispute who started it. I am questioning the actions of the cops more though.

[Buzz Clik]

2. That was a great read. Filled with facts and heavily referenced.

[morningfog]

4. I'm on my phone. Check Boston globe.

Or don't. I don't care.

[treestar]

8. You don't care?

You cared enough to do an OP from your phone.

[morningfog]

10. You can whine about links, look for yourself,

or move on to something else. No, I do not give one damn about your opinion on the lack of a link.

[treestar]

11. My, what a pleasant person you are

You must be very important, let the little people do your footwork for you.

[morningfog]

15. I know you have never been accused of being

the brightest person, but I am sure you can find the links. They are even right here in this thread! Good luck!

[treestar]

16. If you had simply said you were on your phone and asked someone to link

I probably would have. Instead you choose this attitude. It tells us something.

[Buzz Clik]

13. LOL!

I won't.

[treestar]

6. Yeah, a link might have been helpful!

[morningfog]

7. Someone will bring the link shortly, no doubt.

I am traveling and on my phone. Check Boston globe if you are curious.

3. Far be it from me to defend the feds

But when people start shooting these things do tend to happen. Sometimes even when those people are very well trained and doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

His medical bills, work time lost, and reasonable pain and suffering should be paid either way simply as the right thing to do.

9. Not taking a stance either way but here are some links:

12. Thanks!

They can't take the bullet out of the victim's body yet. They'll need that to figure out where it came from.

Even so, it would likely be accidental and Tamerlan and his brother are still criminally liable, is likely.

14. Thank you. Apparently one of has enough time to open a thread but not enough time to post a link.
