Any chance this guy in East Boston was the infamous gecko45...or does the legend live on in Bolt from Bolt Force?

I think we've found a new longstanding NES joke in Bolt Force. Thanks, LoginName!!

According to Evans Press Conf.

Suspect had no LTC in MA

Evans can't seem to get whatever weapon Figueroa used straight... tactical rifle, tactical shotgun.. whatever. SMH. he doesn't seem like the brightest bulb on the tree.

Agreed, please tell me Bolt Force is a joke, not an actual security type company?..?? Cant be real

Sad to say, but they're very much real... http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/opinions/cevallos-bolt-force-phoenix-vigilantes/

Even the worst, most god awful TV reality show can be taken more seriously.

Evans' job interview probably went like the line from Eddie Murphy in "Trading Places":

Evans: "I was with the Green Berets, Special Unit Battalions Commando Airborne Tactics... Specialist Tactics Unit Battalion."

Whoever hired him: "You're hired!"

gecko45 was a deliberate troll. He went just a little to far when he started talking about wall-walking boots. Until then, it was almost believable. In other words, gecko45 was making fun of whackers like this clown.

I hear a lot of Boston PD traffic in the clear on analog trunks.

Officers were not wearing vests according to Evans during the press conference.

I'm sorry but if that's the case they were just plain stupid. In this town even the Chief wears a vest.

wearing of vests isn't Dept. SOP in a big city? Hmm, BPD doesn't wear vests and Marty doesn't trust them to carry AR-15's in their trunks. Don't you love libs? NOT!

I went to middle and high school with one of the officers... all around good guy...

My father is good friends and went to high school with Rich. Hopefully they pull through

Why am I not surprised?

In all seriousness, a vest would not have stopped the shell that tore open the one officer's femoral artery.

I have a small hand-held Uniden. Nothing special really. Model 346 or something like that, I don't recall exactly. I'm not really "into" scanning, I just turn it on what there's something specific going on. I think the last time I really used it was after the marathon bombing.

It's not about THIS shooting. It's that vests aren't mandatory. That's just insane.

Real shocker there.

If you're a cop and you don't wear body armor, it's a case of stupidity, IMO.

 

[larueminati]

So it's a national news story that an "assault weapon" was used, when in fact it was a pump shotgun.

Sounds about right

 

[thormx538]

A soft vest isn't any help against a rifle, and not much against a slug from a 12ga so it likely made no difference in this case.

The worst-shooting people at the Boston PD range session last time I renewed were armed security guys. You would almost literally be safer standing in front of the target than one side. Three of them, all three massive failures. Not even a 30 caliber pencil could have saved them.

 

[Horrible]

Evan's quote "tactical shotgun" from press conf. watchnig live on FB

LOL. LSM lost their ****ing minds over evil super killy "A-Salt Weapons".

LOL. So much for our gun control lawrs being effective.

This clown claimed to have some experience in the Army. If that is actually true (admittedly a very big if), then he might actually have some marksmanship skills.

Analog FM with various DPLs. They have a few encrypted channels, but most traffic is clear. There is trunk system, but the BPD doesn't use it for much at all.

Not really my point nor do I think the point of other posters who commented.

They are not bomb proof either but in most situations it's better than a tee shirt under your uniform.

What kind of horseshit policy allows uniformed officers on patrol to not wear their vests?

 

[rhombus]

Fox News is still calling it an "Assault rifle firefight"

 

[knfmn]

What kind of horseshit policy allows uniformed officers on patrol to not wear their vests?

Why, a union-backed policy, of course!

As for their demand for improved bullet-resistant vests, the city pointed out that its ability to get external support, in addition to the $350,000-a-year the city spends on vests is limited because the union has not agreed to a policy making it mandatory to wear a bullet-resistant vest.

Shocked, I tell you, shocked.

The BPD is spending almost $200/year/officer for vests, but the cops don't wear them. The state has a program to reimburse departments for new and/or replacement vests. That doesn't even include the federal programs to provide vests for them.

I'm not saying it's intelligent to not wear them in a general sense haha, just that it's irrelevant to this situation as to whether or not they had them on.

It's like seat belts -- I'd venture a guess that the rate of officers wearing a seat belt in a moving cruiser is probably lower than that of the average citizenry.

Even if they're mandatory, some dudes will still roll without a vest. Just like dudes in combat arms taking their side plates out.

If he was on the AMU, otherwise not so much.
