The suspect, William Hardison Sr., shot at deputies trying to serve an eviction notice, resulting in a standoff that lasted about 6½ hours.

    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.”

    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.
