The 110th's actions in Reacher season 2, episode 3, 'Picture Says a Thousand Words', took a dangerous turn when they built and used a pipe bomb in a suburban neighborhood. This over-the-top move potentially endangered the lives of innocent people and completely lost any element of surprise in their ambush. It's a reckless decision that defies all common sense and puts the 110th in a whole new light.
