He had the best feed on Twitter.

I loved it. He was a few steps ahead of CNN and I was too lazy to dl a scanner app

Did ya?

You think this is bad? Have you followed Anthony anytime anything remotely racial is brought up?

Ant everyday is just rants. I rarely see jokes from him

I can't believe I'm saying it, but the opester is the only one I can actually stand to follow on twitter

Though he can be annoying, I appreciate the coverage. I am currently in a location with no TV, so he is giving the best play-by-play I can find (with minimal/no effort).

I'm listening to it because my scanner app isn't working.

Besides, why are BPD asking people not to tweet scanner info? Because they don't want the guy to hear it and stay one step ahead, perhaps? That doesn't seem very likely.

Could not disagree more. He was as on top of things as the other "top" watertown feeds: @michaelskolnik and @sethmnookin

yeah. he could have just tweeted the link to the scanner.

Boston police asked Twitter users NOT to tweet scanner information. With 150,000 followers, it's kind'a irresponsible. I'm listening live, but only retweeting 'safe' information from news organisations.

Yeah, because we know he was in the boat looking at Opie's twitter feed.

I didn't know it was scanner info, I thought he was just trying to be funny and pretend he was an officer. Either way, my feed was blowing out of control.

Your fault for not unfollowing him sooner. His twitter induces chills of the douche variety
