The cop, upset that Rolling Stone was giving the terrorist celebrity treatment, released a few photos of Tsarnaev the night he was found. My favorite one is the featured photo. I like the laser guide. Shows off his pretty boy eyes, no?

The pictures were taken by Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Sean Murphy and published online by Boston Magazine on Thursday afternoon. In a statement accompanying the photos, Murphy called the Rolling Stone cover “an insult” and “hurtful” to survivors of the April 15 bombings. This guy is evil,” Murphy said. “This is the real Boston bomber. Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.”

The spokesman for Boston Magazine, where the pictures were first seen, says he thinks the cop was genuinely concerned about the victims of the bombings who would feel upset that a terrorist had gotten such celebrity treatment,

“Today’s dissemination to Boston Magazine of photographs of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev and police activity related to his capture was not authorized by the Massachusetts State Police,” spokesman David Procopio said in a statement issued Thursday night. “The department will not release the photographs to media outlets. The State Police will have no further comment on this matter tonight.”

Procopio told CNN late Thursday night that Murphy had been relieved of duty for one day and will have a status hearing to determine whether he will be on full duty, restricted duty or suspended during an internal police investigation.

Walgreens, CVS, 7/11 and Shop and Stop stores have refused to sell the Rolling Stone magazine featuring the terrorist.
