13,000 China police officers in search of killer

BEIJING (AP)Up to 13,000 police officers in China are hunting for a man suspected of a series of robberies and shootings. The hunt in Nanjing in eastern Jiangsu province centers on Zeng Kaigui. Chinese state media say Zeng is suspected to have killed a man who withdrew money from a bank and robbed him of 200,000 yuan ($31,700) cash on Friday. The reports say 13,000 officers have been mobilized in the search. Teams of police are walking through buses with a photo of Zeng, as well as checking train stations, bus stops and ports, and searching Internet cafes and hotels. The 42-year-old Zeng is suspected of killing at least six people. Calls to Nanjing police rang unanswered Tuesday.

Upon first glance, having 13,000 police officers on a manhunt for one killer, seems bat shit crazy.  However, now we must take into consideration that the population of China exceeds 1.3 billion, and there are 1.5 million total armed police personnel in the country.  My math skills fail me, but I guess given all these numbers and calculation all the ratios, China probably needs 13,000 police officers to find one killer.

Just kidding.  Thirteen THOUSAND police officers?  What kind of amateurs do they have working for their armed forces?  Send in Elliot Stabler or Derek Morgan and the job will be done.  You’re welcome.
