As more details of the events of last week become known, the more it
becomes obvious that mistakes where made.

Law enforcement agencies including the FBI deserve a lot of credit and
thanks for the work they did however they didn't "find" the suspects.
Private citizens did. Public and business sources provided the
pictures and videos that identified who placed the bombs at the
marathon.
A private citizen was hi-jacked in his car and provided the
information required to locate and chase down the stolen vehicle. The
brothers told him "they were the bombers".

Furthermore, it has now become public knowledge that the FBI was aware
of the older brother's possible link connection to radical influences
by terrorist groups, as recently as 2011. Before that became known
publically, they denied any knowledge of him.

The older brother got out of the car in Watertown and started walking
towards the growing law enforcement presence. Fearing a potential
suicide bomber attack, law enforcement opened fire and filled him full
of holes. The doctors who worked on him have reported that he had so
many injuries that they can't determine what exactly caused his death.

Then, after almost 24 hours of a shutdown of a major area in the state
and with an army of law enforcement agencies conducting a search, they
couldn't find the younger brother. Within 15 minutes of lifting the
ban of leaving your house, a private citizen found him in his boat and
called 911.

The media is full of amazing pictures of FLIR images showing the
suspect cowering in the boat in the guy's yard. It's great
technology and has many good uses, but it didn't *FIND* the suspect.
The private citizen boat owner did.

Here's where I started to have some questions about how this was
handled. It was imperative that he be captured alive, if possible.
So what did law enforcement do? Opened fire on the boat (that had
a full tank of gas) with fully automatic weapons. At least two
weapons can be heard on the videos released by the media, with large
capacity magazines being emptied into the boat. This is how you
capture someone alive?

I am sure there will be questions about how the FBI dropped the ball
on the older brother.
This is not some ambiguous chatter about "Bin Ladin Determined To
Strike in US". This was a specific, identified person who was reported
to the FBI They gave him a cursory look and then ignored him until
someone tweeted them the name from pictures they already had.
This crime was solved with a department store camera, social media and
an alert citizen, not stellar police work.

Your last sentence needs repeating: "This crime was solved with a departmnet store camera,
socila media and an alert citizen, not stellar police work."
