Did they declare marshall law?
What would happen if an owners refused and armed themselves?

Maybe we need to contact our rep's to get bills started to prevent this kind of abuse of power!
The home owner would be cut down in a flurry of machine gun fire most likely. If he's lucky, just a concussion grenade followed by a beating. HOPEfully not infinitely detained. (Read The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA))

On the bright side, said home owner would be a folk hero.
Sad, Sad, Sad state of affairs we have here now.
Worse yet we no longer have a new land to go to, to hide from tyranny and build a new nation, this is it. So where do we draw the line, what is societies "Red Line", will it ever be crossed, or do we just keep falling back to a safe distance and hope for the best!

Watching those vids reminded me of the old elementary and middle school B/W WWII films on the projector. You know... The one's where the Nazi's would barge into people's homes to do the "house checks". If I remember correctly, those old B/W films were to teach us about our nation's freedoms. Scary world we live in now. :shock:

And my parents thought the worst thing I would ever have to endure in life was hearing damage from listing to AC/DC, Def Leppard and KISS.

Would have happened that way in Boston/Watertown too if they hadn't already been subjugated.

What percentage of these searches have been confirmed non-consentual?

I think it would have been foolish and counterproductive to respond with force in this situation. I think the best course of action would be to answer the door and simply refuse entry and refuse to leave. Become dead weight if they attempted to drag you out and force them either to drag or carry you down the street --or shoot you on TV. This would have made the nature of the searches rather obvious. And I don't think it has been emphasized enough that these officers pointed guns at people in order to get them to comply. You point a gun at someone it signals intent to kill, and it also indicates they were more interested in quickly getting their way than the safety of the people inside. This is what we've come to, police pointing guns at unarmed people holding children in order to get their way....compliance at gunpoint. As Mao said, "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun." That is the way of the left.

They asked people to stay inside and they did while they went house to house in a contained area looking for a terrorist believed to be armed with weapons and explosives. It obviously worked because the terrorist stayed put and they were able to apprehend him w/o anybody else being injured. Obviously the residents of Boston who lived through this don't have an issue with it due to the parades, ect they are throwing for the officers.
