Bank robbers (North Hollywood California)
Bank robbers turn North Hollywood California into a warzone.
The famous Bank of America robbery.
North Hollywood shootout was an armed confrontation between two heavily-armed and armored bank robbers (Larry Eugene Phillips, Jr. and Emil Dechebal Matasareanu) and patrol and SWAT officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on February 28, 1997, at a Bank Of America teler-office.
Two suspects were killed, and 15 people were injured, including 10 policemen. None of the injuries incurred during the hour-long shootout was “life threatening,” Los Angeles Police Chief Willie Williams said. Although only the suspects were killed, the sheer number of injuries made this one of the bloodiest single cases of violent crime in the 1990s, and one of the most significant single bank robberies of the 20th century.

The two gunmen wore …
The two gunmen wore illegal 40-pound bullet-proof vests that completely absorb bullets from handguns and some shotguns. One, the leader, also had an AK with lethal, steel-enforced, armor-penetrating bullets and illegal 100-round capacity drums for the AK. The police are, apparently, trying to take the credit for killing the ;eader gunman, even though he actually shot himself in the head.
This is not a good …
This is not a good source on this historical event because of all the misleading “facts”. For one, the first gunman who died killed himself, the police did not kill him. The second gunman was caught because all four tires were shot out and he was surrounded; he got the death penalty.
The REASON he …
The REASON he switches to his pistol is because he got shot on his hand and then his gun jammed. He was unable to unjam it because of his injury, so he swiitched weapons and was screwed.

So you idolize people who would rather steal than work. I dont know you or your experience but there is nothing pretty about watching someone die.
I agree!! You know …
I agree!! You know what’s really shitty, the cop narrating doesn’t tell the whole truth. the walking gunman was not shot by cops. His AK jammed so he tossed it and used his 9mm. Once it was almost out of ammo, he blew his brians out. NOW THAT’S “G” SHIT
