Taking bets on the background of the perp:

BLM activist upset they wouldn't make change for his George Floyd 20?

AIM member demanding Andrew Jackson be cut out from the legitimate 20s?

PETA justice warrior demanding they change their logo because stagecoaches enslaved horses?

A local schizophrenic who believes he is being called by Susan B. Anthony to free her from the dusty, unopened coin bag in the back of the vault?

Just another shithead?

Why did police have to respond, haven’t they hired social workers to ‘talk down’ the perps yet?

St. Cloud is an hour and a half North/Northwest of the Twin Cities on I-94.

Do people still rob banks? Yeah I know, that’s where the money is. But almost every bank I go to has 4 inch bullet resistant glass and locked doors. I suppose you could hold the patrons hostage until the tellers slip enough bills under their little cubby hole windows but that takes too long and you’re much likelier to get caught waiting around for that.

Over 2400 in 2019 according to FBI, though they probably don't count the ones they rob themselves:

I can still enjoy some of his flicks.

Another c.s’r., but a great scene:

There is probably more cash inside the ATMs in the lobby than there is in the entire rest of the bank.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to rob a bank these days. Bank tellers are trained to not make a scene and simply hand cash over as if they were conducting a normal transaction. The object is to get the robber out of the bank as quickly and uneventfully as possible and let the police deal with it. In fact, in many robberies, other customers in the bank don't even realize that a robbery just happened.

The use of the word “robber” offends many folks who are only trying to make undocumented withdrawals.

A democratic politician who decided that the IRS was lollygagging with tax collections?

Great pic! One of the better bank robbing scenes in a movie! It had to be difficult to shoot!
