      It’s the same point as going skiing on an extreme rated slope. It’s about adrenaline, an experience, making yourself the movie badass, using expensive as shit stuff to horrify and intimidate other human beings and getting off on your power over them, your power to make them feel fear. Plus the brass thinks it looks cool and tough and military-like and sends their hog base squealing with joy over this kind of military attack on the sub-humans they hate.

        Yeah but it’s fucking stupid when walking in the front door has more strategic power because you control all the entrances and exits.

        The only timeremovedlling onto the roof is necessary is if you can’t go in the front door or you reasonably want control of the roof for whatever reason. That has military purposes, it has almost no purpose for cops.
