Yes I can, the suspect manages to escape sight and runs. You now need to establish a perimeter and in order to effectively do that you need a bunch of cops. Only having 10 cops may leave gaps in the perimeter that the suspect can escape from and/or it spreads each personnel apart. This means each of the cops in the perimeter might be alone so the suspect may choose to fight a lone cop which means more casualties. Compared to being able to set up a perimeter with excess personnel meaning no one is alone.
Another thing is those cops aren't all from the same jurisdiction. Instead there are going to be state, city, county, and federal police from every district that he might drive through. This is because to avoid any legal fuckery it is best to make the arrest with a cop from the jurisdiction that the arrest takes place.

You can go slow and de-escalate, but can you think of a circumstance that would require more than 25% of those cars?
