That's not the point. The point is, this was clearly the largest manhunt in US history. 9000 - 10,000 armed police (FBI, Homeland Security, whatever) is a huge number. As I posted before to put it into perspective, Regan sent 7000 troops to invade the country of Grenada.

That's what the media says (see below). Who knows of they are lying or not, they often do, but it's really splitting hairs to even debate the number. You can see the response and know it was overkill without knowing the exact number of police involved.

These say over 9000:

Sure they count. But however many were injured it did not call for that kind of response, going into people's homes with weapons. I can't even imagine how traumatic that was for some children to see.

So the death toll is 4 not including the first brother killed?
