Not his fault given we were dealing with DCMS at the time. And I don't want to set that precedent. If some die fighting back that's one thing, but allowing for deliberately going for kills on citizens seems like a bad idea.
That said, the quartermaster should totally be up on charges of treason I think

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
You know I think the Bratva would make a fine target for our soon to be newly stood up special forces.

News of the massive crime wave and underworld war dominates every channel and outlet. Hardly a day goes by without double digit shootings, most fatal, dozens of rapes, assaults, arson attacks, brazen burglaries and home invasions. The Bratva have effectively declared war on law-abiding society.
Law-abiding society is fighting back. The Royal Grifftiger Mounted Police scored a victory against the Bratva in conjunction with SWAT and an assist from the Special Branch by taking out an entire cell of ‘soldiers’ in the organization. A dozen cops and a grifftiger were killed in the operation, but almost 50 Bratva ‘soldiers’, including several ‘thief in law’ types, were killed, and a further two dozen captured.
Griffsport PD has officially requested military assistance in the form of the Scout Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Armored. With the new SH-1B VTOLs and trained Jump Infantry, that unit would provide overwatch and rapid response to back the police up.
There is also the question of how to handle those Bratva thugs captured. On one side there are arguments that they should be handled by the regular justice system, they are criminals who have been engaging in criminal behavior that the justice system is already equipped to handle. Others are saying that this crime wave goes beyond simple ‘crime’ and constitutes an armed insurrectionist movement, and thus the prisoners should be handled as illegal combatants. Still others are advocating a mixture of the two, with the regular justice system for the common ‘soldiers’ of the Bratva and Military/Intel for the leadership.
News that you had rejected General Potter’s offer to resign over this is quite well received, with most commentators taking the stance that it shows you aren’t going to seek scapegoats but rather work to actually solve the issue.
You have issued the ‘dead or alive’ orders, but on further consideration are thinking of limiting this remit to the Special Squad, Royal Grifftiger Mounted Police, and SWAT. The smaller pool might limit effectiveness, but it would also prevent the police from becoming excessively accustomed to simply killing suspects.
The comprehensive audit and inventory of the hidden caches laid down for a potential Drac invasion reveals a systemic failure to properly secure and account for all of the hardware. Most of this is due to the fact of the sheer scale of the effort, the comparatively low number of qualified personnel available at the time this was organized and the fact that it ran well under the radar. The AFGR didn’t even have all the data on where the oldest of these caches were. Those that were properly documented were overseen properly, but too many were poorly documented, either because of people failing to do the paperwork properly or slipping through the cracks.
Luckily out of over five hundred caches, only 3 have any serious discrepancies between what’s supposed to be there and what’s actually there, and all three were ones handled by one particular missing supply sergeant with their contents in the hands of the Bratva. There are some indications that the individual may have been under duress, the last several official check-ins from him were all remote and while they originated from his office the office itself shows signs of not being used for several weeks if not months and Sarah detects a great deal of malware and remote access software on the office computer.
The Special Branch has been augmented with an entire company of Special Operations personnel, just in time for several raids in which their firepower and skill proved vital in preventing loss of life. Michelle and Jane both insist they had nothing to do with the minor detail that every single member of this company is either female or a particularly ‘delicious’ (Jane’s words) male.
In other news, some serious work has been accomplished hardening factories against potential attack.
HMS Daring, the next Defiant-class dropship, has been laid down, while the Harris-class yard has switched to the more flexible Haskell design.
Procurement is a significant bright spot, with new weapon systems rolling off the line and into the hands of the military bulking up your defenses. The crews of the Jaguar tanks are particularly enthusiastic, with the maintenance teams singing their praises to the skies. The modular nature of all of the systems on those tanks is impressing everybody.
A large amount of orbital construction coincides with massive improvements to basic space infrastructure techniques and procedures. The new techniques, in fact, are almost revolutionary as they’ve allowed for significant boosts in production efficiency in orbital factories without requiring more mass or volume for the equipment. Work crews have installed the new systems on both the existing and the new orbital factories with great fanfare.
Working during periods of thaw, both natural and expedited by fusion torches, crews have been able to construct a network of underground transportation tunnels criss-crossing the settlement on Nowy Gdansk, facilitating daily life even during harsh winter conditions.
A large monument to first-responders, law enforcement, and the like is unveiled to much applause. An attempt by the Bratva to disrupt the ceremony is dealt with… harshly.
After the elections relations with the Imperial House of Delegates have improved considerably, as many of the old fossils who’d begun causing you so much trouble have been voted out of office. Relations with the Senate, meanwhile, have become positively convivial.
You get the list of proposed ‘titles’ for yourself as the leader of the Griffin Empire. Some of them make you snort, one makes you check to make sure the Periphery Studies Department wasn’t involved, but in general they are pretty interesting.
The orbital survey finds a fairly well defined submerged impact crater off the coast of Capricorn, evidently from the same impact event that formed the harbor at Hue Moi. The planetary government is planning extensive survey work to see if there is anything interesting down there.
The first suits of Power Armor are in the hands of test crews at the Aerie. So far the suits have proven quite reliable. Initial attempts to equip them with arm mounted small lasers were abandoned when it was determined that the weapons were drawing too much power for the power systems to handle on top of the movement profile planned. Instead they are equipped with old-fashioned M2 Browning machine guns that are still ubiquitous in your inventory. They also have the full version of the Mauser 960 as an anti-personnel weapon, which is proving to be very effective indeed.
The development work for the Streak SRM-2 has concluded successfully, with a testbed Weasel equipped with the new system proving quite capable. Plans are in place to develop a proper Weasel upgrade by next year.
Unfortunately not all are coming up roses in the research area. The work on expanded variants of the Ultra autocannon technology has run into a bit of a snag. Somebody forgot to carry a one when calculating the recoil loads of the UAC/20 variant and it rather wrecked the test stand when it was test fired at full rate. The rather embarrassing math error has been found and corrected, and a very red faced graduate student is never going to live this down until the day he dies.
Discussions with the Home Army on Nowy Gdansk reveals that a number of them have… experience… dealing with organized crime back home, and are quite willing and eager to apply their skills to the problem of breaking the Bratva.

This is essentially an armed insurgent/terrorist group. Treat them as such. That said, I'm not fond of having regular police officers in the habit of solving problems by shooting people. (Especially since it's d4 vs d2.) And boring title is boring, but also less silly.

This isn't just a practical compromise, it's a decent argument from principles. The rank and file are "only" guilty of violent crime, domestic terrorism, and insurrection; the decision makers are commiting treason.
(Arguably even by the narrowed USA definition of treason, given that they are openly levying war against the state. Curiously, under US law insurrection sounds dire but is actually a far lesser offense with a maximum penalty of ten years.)

"Dead or alive" is a somewhat moot directive when the Bratva is in de facto open war; the only real meaning is that it authorizes the immediate use of lethal force with *no* attempt to negotiate first, and we're much more comfortable with limiting the forces that are following that ROE.

We should totally heed the Grifftigers.
