The Test in Watertown

Opinion by: Jesse Ryan Porter

I was truly saddened by the events in Boston on April 15. Another attack, another seemingly endless cycle of horrifying images and reports; theories and accusations from the media who proved once again, that they over report with too little of a grasp on the facts. Even now the narrative has changed several times. But that’s not what I wish to write about.

In the days following the bombings at the Boston Marathon, the community of Watertown was subjected to a healthy dose of prison training. The residents of this community were systematically treated to house to house searches; some being literally forced from their own homes at gunpoint and sent down the street to be frisked and interrogated. We have all seen the videos and pictures of the SWAT teams and armored personnel carriers rolling through these neighborhoods; chilling, unfamiliar images of citizens exiting their homes, hands on their heads at gunpoint while being barked at by the police. Compliance is absolutely mandatory. Innocent people have nothing to hide. Anyone who refuses must be hiding something right? This lasted for nearly an entire day.

Despite previous FBI and foreign intelligence interaction with Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother Dzhokhar spanning several years; not the multi-agency anti-terror units on scene at the race, nor the bomb sniffing dogs, nor the finest technology available in the history of the planet seemed to have any effect on terrible events that unfolded on April 15th. This was a “soft target” after all.

On Thursday when the pictures of the suspects were released, the response was an all out, unprecedented LOCK DOWN. Boston became a ghost town. Citizens were “advised” to remain indoors and comply fully with law enforcement. This was not technically martial law. So what was it?

On one hand we are all terrorized by the initial event. What has long been seen as an event for community pride and openness was desecrated and somehow after only a matter of days, transformed a great city into a prison. We all desire swift conclusions. We want justice. We want resolution. We want to show our resilience. Yet, somehow in todays America this seems to include the suspension of our inalienable rights as a security measure. This was a manhunt, not a war zone. This was a 19-year-old kid, not a military combatant. This was “Public Safety” not “Martial Law” right? Are we all to surrender our liberties just because of the terrible things done by evil people? Are we hide our heads and allow our rights to be overrun in the name of security?

In the end, only after the “advisory” lockdown had been lifted, it was one man out for a smoke on his own property who noticed that the tarp covering his prized and immaculately maintained boat had been disturbed. He, the private citizen, using his own intuition and common sense, alerted law enforcement and brought this to a close. And yet, the crowds cheered their captors and chanted “USA! USA!”

We hold our law enforcement professionals up to a grueling standard as our only defense against events that we have seen in the last decades. Are they not also in office to protect and defend our rights as Americans? Have they not each taken oaths of office to defend the constitution? Do those oaths only hold up insofar as they are deemed convenient? These men and women are dedicated and they are brave. Yet, time and time again we see that they are not able to offer us perfect security, try as they may. More and more often they are used to serve as prison guards, while we are relegated the role of prisoners under house arrest.

In the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, “If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.”

I'd like to apologize in advance for the people with my skin color that will, in the coming hours, days, and weeks seek out Muslims and harass them or worse. Not all of us think you're terrorists. Some of us know the truth: that there are a few bad eggs here and there in any given batch. The acts of the individual should not dictate how the entire ummah is perceived. I wish safety for you all.
