Weather prediction is tough in MA, I heard about random and severe sandstorms being imminent
So... is his rifle not loaded, or did he take the extra precaution of closing the dust cover after he charged it?
Fairness leads to extinction much faster than harsh parameters.
Mil guys are trained to close the dust cover when not in action.

Because this photo was taken during the search of the apartment building, and this guy was supposed to be providing overwatch.
Good to know, thanks
How long had he been sitting there? What don't we know? Non issue in my book.

I never realized that cool-kids didn't close the ejection port cover.

I know some instructors do teach that (assuming there is time, and the guy doesn't look like he's in a firefight), such as Pat Rogers and Jason Falla.
Every Military trained shooter I have ever shot with has kept his dust cover closed when not shooting, to include snapping it shut after charging the rifle.
Further, the Massachusetts State Police STOP team probably has a pretty solid grasp on what they're doing.

As a civilian (with experience in an instructing capacity) I *always* keep my dust cover closed. It is ingrained in me from experience in sandy conditions, but even before that, I still always paid attention to details like that...
This is just common sense, and isn't something that I would expect to be made an issue of.
