[POLITICO] Bill Maher called Boston police officers "unprofessional" on Friday for shooting at the boat where Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was hiding even though it turned out he was unarmed.
"I agree that we shouldn't have given the kid his Miranda rights because he probably had information. We wanted to take him alive. We all agree with that.... there could've been bombs out there, there could've been an accomplice. So we wanted to take him alive. If you agree with that then what the cops did there was unprofessional. That's called contagious fire," Maher said on HBO's "Real Time."
According to reports, no gun was found inside the boat after Tsarnaev was captured, although the Boston Police commissioner had earlier said that cops had exchanged fire with the suspect. |
