Boston Magazine has published several dramatic photographs from the manhunt for alleged marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The pictures show a bloodied Tsarnaev emerging from a boat and law-enforcement officials in action as they searched for their target. The magazine got the images from Sgt. Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer with the Massachusetts State Police, who chronicled the April 19 dragnet with his camera. Murphy released the photos because he was angry with the controversial Rolling Stone cover that depicted Tsarnaev as a normal teenager. He was placed on restricted duty and then assigned the night shift after the photos were published.
