I&#x27;m curious about the 17-19 police officer figure. Do police departments actually operate on a &quot;dispatch X officers to deal with incident of nature X&quot; or is it a function of &quot;All officers in the vicinity of X location, we have a XXX in progress at the address X&quot;.<p>If the latter is the case, this would suggest that the police presence that showed up is a function of the police presence in the vicinity an affluent neighborhood.<p>Not passing judgement. Just asking a question.<p>Another consideration about why force was used is that when officers arrived on the scene, the &quot;suspect&quot; was still in the residence. Typically, burglaries are in-and-out operations and I would expect a real burglar to be cognizant of the arrival of police officers and they would try to escape. Another thing to consider is the way the &quot;suspect&quot; reacted, since it should have appeared as a potential false positive to the police officers that arrived on the scene, since real burglars would probably react quite differently.
