People are stupid.

How the Boston PD seem to have made a hash of out this.

Surely the USA has some special Anti Terrorist sqaud that trained in matters like this?

They mentioned object in his pocket, it may not have been a dead man's switch, just a very unlucky man!

LOL they will catch every criminal in Boston during trying to get this other guy.

So either there's multiple suspects, or this is a big distraction by the original suspect?

Confusing as hell.

last thing I head... a 50-60 yr old man is handcuffed with a device, a dead man's switch!!

but it's NOT the main suspect.

Also male next to oxygen truck releasing gas into the air.

Anyone got a non-java stream of the police scanner???

How exactly does a deadman switch work? I keep seeing people say he is trying to arch his back... how would that trigger the 'switch'?

You have to be a kid to say that. Muslins have been attacking the west since the 70's and earlier.
Long before we decided to fight back.

This country has always been known as a melting pot and a place to start a new life.

Regarding the melting pot, its not really true. Overwhelming majority of US immigrants were European and culturaly western. The rest was mostly Africans, and they are a problematic minority to this day.

Boston PD have been removed and disallowed from entering the affected area.

State Police (& others) are in Command.

Gotta say .. of the MSM news stations ... CNN has the best coverage.
MSNBC always sux and FOX is not doing a good job.

He would release pressure from the switch, setting it off.

In all cases you are talking about a retaliatory action from the USA. Sounds like you are a proponent of if someone hits you just sit there and take it.

They should put it on live TV of him lying on the ground.

Fox does suck, they haven't even talked about the guy with a device on.

Dead man switch is usually a switch that is spring loaded and is pushed and if a person is killed then the switch is released and caused the bomb to go off.

Dead man switch is a pressure switch. Say if he were to get shot he would let off the button and it would blow. Fail safe for any terrorist.
