Police hold several motorists at gunpoint. Suspect may go free due to poor police work.

Police track a bank robber by gps, but rather than wait until he can be weeded out of the rest of traffic, they hold all motorists at the intersection at gunpoint and cuffed. Children and all.

1. Whatever happened to "Sit on the curb please, ma'me; kids stay in the car while we sort this out."?

2. Arnaud Amalric would be so proud!

when asked by a Crusader how to distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics,

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius (Kill them all. For the Lord knoweth them that are His.)


Modern translation: "Kill them all and let God sort them out."

It's refreshing to see such an unapologetic regression to the days of the inquisition.

4. well

seems overboard to me. But who am I? Just a lowly 99%, no! no! 47% that counts for nothing in the coming police state and it looks to me to be more than "several" being detained, in handcuffs?.

12. 47th of the 99th

one big unit.

5. 4th vs 5th amendment

Miranda falls under the 5th amendment
The case may be tossed because of the 4th amendment

6. The cops were just standing their ground. I don't have much sympathy for cops.

7. They put everyone else at risk

They effectively trapped everyone with an armed criminal.

8. Everyone made the choice;

To be there that afternoon.

I say it's a good thing some cop hadn't reached his quota for shots fired that month and started a blood bath.

9. That man was stealing CEO's money

How dare he. I'm surprised the cops didn't shoot everyone on orders from Wells Fargo. Some day our cars will be able to be controlled within city limits by police. Cars will have receivers, and the city will have transmitters to control the speed of autos.

10. That's insane, all that for, money that is insured...

I get it dangerous bank robber but there was no reason to handcuff all those people

[dickthegrouch]

11. I hope each of the minors sues

If the police can't get a conviction, there were in fact NO PERPETRATORS there and they had no probable cause to arrest anyone.
The actual perp could not sue for that reason or he risks re-introducing the evidence against him

13. Marine Corp Police Force

This is the result of having a police force that has been military trained, and now has a miltary mindset. In an episode of Battlestar
Galactica the president ask Adama to post troops to maintain order in the fleet. Adama refuses on the grounds that soldiers are
trained to destroy the enemies of the state. By using them as police the very people they are supposed to protect are now the
enemies of the state. Refer to a video that shows police officers going through what amounts to military basic training.
WE ARE THE ONES TO BE HUNTED!

14. Two hours??!!!

Being 'cuffed and having some cop point a shotgun at my head for two hours is merely an "inconvenience"?

To hell with Chief Oates!
