The week began with two bombs exploding at the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday. On Friday, nearly the entire city was in lockdown as U.S. military helped in a massive manhunt for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. The 19-year-old was on the run after escaping a shootout with police during which his brother, Tamerlan, 26, was killed while reportedly wearing explosives. The duo allegedly killed an MIT police officer, held up a 7-11, and then carjacked a Mercedes-Benz before police caught up to them

Why was the military allowed to do this?

Did you notice the FLIR pod on the bottom of the chopper?
They were providing assistance, as they are permitted - and they didn't do anything against the rules.
