A criminal might well challenge ONE cop. The result is the cop and or the criminal will be hurt. Six cops show up and the criminal will usually realize he/she/it does not stand a chance.

RE: Blocking lanes
A golf cart, assuming it is gas powered, has up six gallons of gasoline-oh and a battery to ignite it.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY-DON'T YOU THINK?
Did you not read the comments....it was a golf-cart in a slow chase with law officials and somehow the cart turned over. Who knows how?? Not sure why this wouldn't be in the news but law enforcement folks many times have reasons so it's an "as needed to know" kind of situation.
