So. . if all the cops in Boston are after the terrorists . . ..?

...how many criminals are taking advantage of the situation?

Is it really true that ALL Boston cops are on this case?

Update:

@ Summertime -- Yes it is negative to think that way. Yet, it is necessary to consider the negative impact of things if we are to avoid negative results. Some people call it planning. Some people call it thinking things through.

    It seems to have calmed down now, but last night, it sure looked like it. Not only that, they brought in cops from all the townships around Boston.

    If you had some crime planned in Boston - last night was definitely the time.

    Yeah, who knows, maybe if Dzokhar Tsarnaev (the remaining guy) lures them into the subway or sewage system of the city, there will be lots of explosions blocking the entries and trapping the cops. Maybe a Chechen warlord will take over the city and hold if for ransom with a nuke. Gosh, this is beginning to remind me of a movie I saw last summer...

    well most law enforcement can do both look for the terror guys and stop someone for a ticket so not a big deal like when a convict escapes from prison here in Mississippi they watch for them and a group is hot on the trial and they catch them but also do the other normal job at the same time.

    Most likely not. They would all get in the way of each other. :)

    There were already looters after the bombing. That's disgusting and pathetic for human beings to do that.

    i'm sorry to say, but good cops are the minority. bad and semi-bad cops are the majority.
