Well - for one thing - residential neighbor doesn't say anything about why the police are in that particular neighborhood - and importantly - what lead up to the scene.

Did they just drive through pointing guns at every window? I doubt it as there are too many windows.
Maybe they received a tip that their suspect is in hiding in the area.
Maybe a shot was fired and they're deploying?

Indiscriminately searched by police. That means that this neighborhood was selected totally at random. Their aren't enough police to dispatch randomly through neighborhoods so why this one?

Proximity? Demographics? If you don't know, then you cannot even be sure the neighborhood is in Boston.* For that matter, the photo is taken from rather high in the window - was the photographer standing on a chair in that window and attracting attention to him/herself at a rather foolish time to do so, when the police are wary of being shot at by snipers, themselves?

You have a picture without any context other then the ones you care to give. And posted only just in time for your claims.


*no license plates visible on the cars, for example
