Details are still scant, but…

“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”

    The insane number of cops here is due to the offices wanting to get in on shooting at someone, not any meaningful need to have 75 officers respond.

      Anyone who shot their firearm gets paid leave. Hell I’d rush over there, fire my weapon at the houses wall, then duck for the rest of the time.

      What would be a reasonable number?

      Are you expecting them to go 1v1 like it’s a fucking video game?

        Less than 75.

        My point is overwhelming the police takes more than a few simultaneous shootouts.
