Botched Joint SOC/FBI Raid On Hotel Room — Are We a Police State?
The objective was a joint SOC/FBI training raid on a specific Boston hotel room. Unfortunately there was at least one civilian (not a role player) who apparently was a Delta Airlines pilot in the room that was raided.
Botched FBI, Army Special Ops Training Raid Captures Unsuspecting Hotel Guest
Army special operations forces and FBI personnel raided the wrong room at a hotel in Boston, cuffing and interrogating an innocent man.
joint training exercise gone wrong left an innocent man in handcuffs in the bathroom of a hotel in Boston earlier this week. The practice raid, carried out by the members of the FBI and U.S. Army special operations forces personnel was supposed to involve the mock capture of a role player, but they barged into the wrong room and interrogated an unsuspecting guest.
The faux raid happened sometime before midnight local time on March 4 at the Revere Hotel in Boston. Members of the Boston Police responded to a call about the situation at around 12:20 A.M. the following morning and were “met by law enforcement agents conducting a training exercise inside the building,” according to a police report obtained by multiple outlets. There were no reported injuries as a result of the incident.
“Swing by the Revere Hotel,” a member of the Boston Police can be heard saying in a clip of the call that CNN subsequently obtained. “Two Delta Pilots had people claiming to be FBI agents barge into their room and handcuff them to the bathroom.”
The indication from the initial police call that multiple individuals were detained appears to be incorrect. A statement the FBI released afterward said that only one individual – reportedly a male in his 30s – had been detailed and that the police had been called to help confirm that a training exercise was indeed going on.
“Based on inaccurate information, they were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual, not the intended role player,” the FBI said, according to the 7News television station in Boston.
“Safety is always a priority of the FBI, and our law enforcement partners, and we take these incidents very seriously,” that statement added. “The Boston Division is reviewing the incident with DOD for further action as deemed appropriate.”

Seems to be routine for operations in Boston. Do you remember the lock down of
city and violation of people’s 4th Amendment Rights after the Boston Marathon street bombing in 2013?
Another of many examples of a “Police State” action.
