Yeah, it's a shame (for the cops) that Starbucks doesn't have the pink frosted doughnuts and Dunkin Munchkins - just think of the combination of the caffeine high combined with the sugar high — my god! — they would be even more unstoppable and fearless during their '"blitzkrieg" [of] their next heavily fortified and extremely hostile fight-to-the finish Asian spa'.
Ps. Given their salaries (plus whatever money they make from any, ahem, extra earnings) they have I don't think the downside of "a much higher price" is relevant
Or, going one step further, forget the coffee houses completely. Coffee is great but is also a diuretic and when in "blitzkrieg" mode, you can't call for a "cease fire" to hit the john. (no pun intended) (and besides AMP bathrooms as we all know are usually notoriously filthy and the foot soldier could become disgusted, experience battle-fatigue and is unable to stand his ground) (or your brothers are left in a perilous battle to fend for themselves while an officer enjoys a long drawn out whiz or worse yet a more aged but battle-hardened foot soldier might have problems starting and stopping urination and the whole operation must be aborted.)
No, no, no, no. Rethink this. They are Chinese. "The Tao of War by Sun Tzu." And "You must know your enemy as yourself." Forget the coffee. Move the war room to a Chinese restaurant. Cordon off a section. Order everything on the menu --- a business expense. The MSG is the perfect caffeine replacement. Study the movements of the Chinese waitresses. Quite possible they have worked an AMP and could offer valuable advice on the raid. (leave a hefty tip)
And just to lend credence to this whole theory and sorry for changing cultural styles of attack so frequently, (German blitzkrieg, "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" and now the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor) Marshal Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the mastermind behind Pearl Harbor, attended Harvard University, the great American Institution and knew the mindset of the American culture.
He knocked out the entire Pacific fleet in a matter of hours. Utilize the police auxiliary forces -- get everybody involved -- every able-bodied, gun-wielding, young and old -- hit every AMP at the same time. They won't know what's coming, the johns, the gals, the mamasans, round em up. Not enough police??? Utilize other public servants, postal employees, garbage men, even teachers.
And the next morning, when the sun rises, the chaos of the night before, well behind us, AMP's obliterated from our society, perpetrators behind bars awaiting sentencing, social order restored.
