Cops are dumb.

Let's see. Start a war with gangs? Good job. If they keep this up , there will be more than 2 dead cops.

They were after 42 suspects. I'm guessing they wanted to hit all of them simultaneously so the rest of the gang couldn't be alerted by the first few they hit. So they needed a seperate team to go after each guy - actually not each guy, but each suspected location. So at least 42 seperate teams. Since there might be several gang members at any of these locations, and they are known to be violent & cop killers, you aren't likely to send small teams. On top of that, you've got the behind-the-scenes folks organizing all of it.

Just my guess - I've never been involved in law enforcement. But it adds up quick.

Who loses in the end..the people that live and work in the neighborhoods.
Boys love their guns though.

As opposed to signaling they're afraid of gangs? Your logic != good.

Yes - absolutely start a war with gangs. The SOBs don't deserve to live.

But make sure you bring enough to the table to win it. It looks like they did.

How dare you bring reasoning and logic into this thread!

I'm glad there are a few people left who can actually think before they post.

My thoughts exactly. With 42 suspects, there could have been maybe double that in possible locations, lets say 90 locations where the suspects typically are at. So that leaves only 10 cops per location. If there were multiple suspects at one location, having fewer than 10 could have been quite dangerous.

So no, it probably wasn't much overkill. It was, however, a sign that they didn't track the suspects well enough that they only netted 19.

The cops not only ARE at war with gangs, they SHOULD be. Their job is to STOP those who live as though the lives and belongings of others are to do with as they please. They should round up EVERY cop in Los Angeles County and make a massive gang sweep through the ENTIRE place. Prosecute the US citizens, deport the illegals and execute those who fight back.
