Bank robbery is a federal crime for one, and only one reason. J. Edgar Hoover saw bank robbery as a way for his FBI to win the PR war and funding from congress. Prior to J. Edgar Hoover bank robbery was a local crime. Pre-FBI Federal Marshalls assisted state and local authorities. But it was always the Sheriff with primary responsibility for solving bank robbery.

J. Edgar Hoover and his ego trip are in the past.

We need to get on with the future.... a future where the centralization of government by Hoover, by FDR, by LBJ, by Nixon, by all of them is reversed selectively where it no longer makes sense.

IN 2016 a bank hold up is no different than a gas station or Waffle House holdup.
