Yes its fair let me tell you why!
Max number of police that can take part 19 coz of police slots. Half of witch will be cso's with only there fist to attack with.
Max number of rebels that can take part anywhere from 0 to 80.
Gun's that the police get 12 cso's with there karate chop! 2 pcso's with tazers and 2pc's with 9mm stings and 3 di+ with good guns.
All rebels get a fuck lot of 7.62 full auto battle rifles.
So as you see its a clear fair fight that could go ether way........
To sum this up in a picture to best explain the battle i came up with this,
