In response to "One report is suggesting that the lifting of the 'stay inside' ban resulted in homeowner checking boat, seeing blood, calling police -- nm" by ty97

I was thinking that might have been part of the point.

The cops can cover a good deal, but not everything and nobody knows the area better than the people who live there.

Heh, we can't find him, hey people with no training, guns, bullet proof vests, start looking around the neighborhood for him - Bacon Apr 19, 17:27 11
- No...more of let them out, tell them to be careful, but hope they notice something's out of place and tell us. - tl Apr 19, 17:32 10

  - My thoughts are a tad different. I think they thought he got away and finally figured they had to let people get on with life. -- nm - Bacon Apr 19, 17:33 8
    - Or that's what they wanted him to think. -- nm - tl Apr 19, 17:35 7
      - I can't see putting people in harms way like this to catch a suspect. The police don't work that way. - Bacon Apr 19, 17:38 6
        
        I think it might be a bit of both. And keeping that many people on lockdown for too long is a problem. -- nm - tl Apr 19, 17:40
        
        they only do that for missing persons and specifically ask people to check sheds and garages, etc. -- nm - zork Apr 19, 17:40 4
        
        They didn't ask people to check sheds, put they did ask them to stay vigilant. And that is what happened. - tl Apr 19, 17:43 3
        
        IMO, saying "stay vigilant" and directing them into possible dangerous situations are very different - zork Apr 19, 17:45 1
        
        I agree. I know they did the first, I have no evidence they did the second. -- nm - tl Apr 19, 17:52
        
        I totally disagree, but you can think that -- nm - Bacon Apr 19, 17:44
