The first video of the house to house searches in Boston has been debunked by many--including, I believe, some on this forum--as being taken from another event.
Here's a local news story on the searches, showing the police entering, and interviewing residents who were rightly upset:

The last woman interviewed is a hoot. She talks about having a gun stuck in her face, then refers to it as being "inconvenienced".
We should try that word with other events. For example, call 911 to report an armed robbery in progress, and tell them that the store clerk is being "inconvenienced". I wonder if they would respond?
There's now no denying what happened. It's just a matter of whether you think peoples' rights were being violated, or that the searches served a greater good that trumped the Fourth Amendment.
