    offensive ratio of 340 boots to 1 enemy

    Straight up sending a full battalion to deal with one guy. Like, it would be one thing if those guys were all tapped to like, guard or something but no, seek and destroy. I'm surprised this didn't happen in the states first tbh.

      it's how you create a panic, also with how many cops were there it just seems like a straight up bad idea if there was actually something else going on. If someone was planning on doing a heist or something major, this type of thing could be a massive distraction actually

      I'd bet it's not 300+ guys searching a few blocks for him -- those guys are probably spread out through a whole city, or at least a big part of it.
