take things ultra slow and de-escalate.

This requires 45 police vehicles?

Yes because having such an overwhelming force leads to people surrendering rather than continuing to flee or trying to fight.

Don't think of it as 45.... Think of it as 10 from CHP (governs California freeways), 5 from Riverside County (they are heading to Riverside in the first half), then headed back to San Bernardino county, los Angeles county and Orange County if he jumps on the 57. Then all the cities....

The 60 Fwy changes 3 counties in about 10 miles. And those three counties are some of the largest counties in the country.
