Boston Police: Inept Buffoons or Evil Genuises?

Last Friday Carrie and I went to see the Shepard Fairey exhibit at the ICA in Boston. It's a marvelous show and once again I highly recommend y'all try to see it.

The next day I hear on the radio that Shepard had been arrested on two outstanding warrants on his way in to the the big opening of the exhibit the night before. An event he was supposed to be dj'ing and celebrating his career thus far.

Ron says to me that he was just photographed a few days prior to this with Mayor Menino. They also had ample oppurtunity to arrest him at different speaking engagements and press conferences in the days prior to the opening of the exhibit. Hmmm... I thought to myself, well, Boston Police don't have the best track record of handling this sort of thing... a certain light up finger waving cartoon stunt comes to mind... I wonder what's up with that?

Then I stumble upon THIS ARTICLE tonight that makes a whole lot of sense. And not in a good way. This article is pure speculation but it's scary to think the authorities could attempt to pull a stunt like this. Damn scary.

So did it take them weeks to catch up with him because they are bumbling idiots or are they wikked smaht in a terrifying Orwellian sort of way?
