NEVER FORGET

...Six years ago our Hero LAPD Officers saved a North Hollywood neighborhood from further harm during a Terrorist Bank Robbery Shootout that resulted in the Deaths of the 2 heavily armed Shooters...

...after ..44 Minutes.. of nothing but combat that was as real as anything seen during the Vietnam War.

.."44 MINUTES".. airs tonight at 8pm PDT on the Special Effects Cable TV Movie Channel ..'Fx'.. dramatizing the Event.

...The same Civil Rights Attorney STEPHAN YAGMAN, who sued the U.S. Government on behalf of the Al Qaeda Prisoners at our Guantamino Base in Cuba after the Attacks on US on September 11, 2001, also sued these life-saving LAPD Officers on behalf of one of the North Hollywood Bank Shooters who died on the scene.

...Att. STEPHAN YAGMAN, who has been suspended twice from practicing Law in New York and California for his stealing from his clients, also has his own Farm in CASTRO's Communist Cuba, by his own public admission immediately following his being suspended from practicing Law for a 2nd Time, this time in California.

...I wonder if .."44 MINUTES".. will be sharing this with us on National TV..?

[linn37]

watched it,kept wondering why it took the SWAT team to figure out they should shoot the SOB in the legs and feet. But I applaud the LAPD some brave men for sure!

[Koblenz]

Did it show the police having to go to a weapons store to get better weapons to combat these guys?

[TomServo]

Did it show the police having to go to a weapons store to get better weapons to combat these guys?

Yeah. And then we got the obligatory anti-gun message.

[tarawa]

The same weapons store which has since been driven out of business by the city of Los Angeles and the state of California.....

[linn37]

c'mon now 10 day waiting period and a ID certainly would stop stone cold killers right?

[conservativefromGa]

"I can't belive people can buy these guns"!!!
typical anti gun bs
well they got their wish with Kalifrnia's semi auto ban of 1998

[Imal]

Considering how long it has been since the incident, I must assume the timing of this is aimed at the sunsetting of the "Assault Weapon" ban.

Looks like the Dark Masters are calling out the useful idiots again.

[Vinnie]

Weren't the perps wearing much more armor than was depicted in the movie? I seem to remember them having heavy leg and head protection.

It is amazing that no good guy died. My hat is off to you and the others.

[Normal4me]

Yeah, I want me one on them M-16 "Machine Guns" like the L.A.P.D. now have...That had to be the biggest piece of anti gun crap show that I have ever seen.

[joesnuffy]

Anti gun propaganda
Didnt bother to watch such crapola

[joesnuffy]

How timely...as the AWB is due to sunset....
hmmmmmm

[Normal4me]

Oh it was great! Nice to know that the cops can't shoot someone in the head from 50 feet away! < sarcasm >

[conservativefromGa]

that crap couldn't happen in my hood. Goodole boys would be pulling 30/06's out of their pick-ups

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...Actually MARY LOU HOLTE is the one to really show apprecitation to here.

...MARY LOU HOLTE was the Organizer of the North Hollywood Bank Shootout's 5 Anniversary Ceremonies (The 5th was the Last One held)...

...that honored our LAPD and LAFD Heroes of that Shootout. Heroes who have been sued by Att. STEPHAN YAGMAN ...resulting Hero LAPD Officer Suicides, Medical Problems and financial ruin.

...MARY LOU HOLTE is known as the "Scanner Lady" and was the first to alert Los Angeles TV Stations about an ongoing Shootout outside North Hollywood's BANK of AMERICA Branch = Enter TV Helicopters.

...MARY LOU HOLTE is also the Founder of the 'Townkeeepers Against Crime' that supports our LAPD and LAFD Heroes.


Los Angeles Heroes all around.

[Dead Dog]

Yah, where they went to pick up a couple of AR-15s. When I saw the documentry on this I kept yelling at the TV "GET A F'ING DEER RIFLE YOU STUPID @#$% @#$%S!"

My Fiance wasn't impressed, but niether was she with the cop that kept babling about "We were out gunned, we had to match the fire power of these assualt rifles". What a load of crap, they should have put a .308 in the jacka$$es heads from 100 yards out..game over in less then 15 minutes..

The LAPD has my respect for bravery under fire, however, their incompentence in selecting a counter-weapon is an excellent example of what happens when the Gun Culture dies.

Bonnie and Clyde both used BA freaking Rs, what the heck would the officers had done then? The show would be called Gone is 60 Seconds and we would be morning the death of 18 or 20 officers. That is unacceptable.

I would like to have seen what a .338WM would have done to Tubby and his body armor from a couple hun yards.

[wontbackdown]

After watching the movie, I searched the internet to find the disposition of the lawsuit filed by the children of one of the robbers that accused the LAPD of allowing the criminal to bleed to death without an ambulance. How outrageous! There should be a law that no criminal shall receive medical treatment before all victims are treated. Does anyone know what happened in the lawsuit? Also, if you go to the FX web site, you will see details of the body armor worn by the criminals.

sued these life-saving LAPD Officers on behalf of one of the North Hollywood Bank Shooters who died on the scene.

Fortunately, Yagman lost, but I don't think the officer(s) named as individual defendants have ever been made whole. A couple of years ago, I lived in a city victimized by Yagman and his ACLU buddies. Those of us who'd seen the circus before tried to graft some spine on the civic leaders, but we failed. They rolled-over to the tune of a million and a half

The issue in the North Hollywood case involved a failure to provide care to one of the suspects. Those who witnessed the incident, or who overheard the radio traffic (some of which is still available on the web), are aware of the level of chaos that day. There was believed to be a third suspect in the area, there was another report of a man with a gun on a nearby roof (ultimately determined to be a SWAT member), and there was a report of a man wearing clothing identical to the suspects having entered a nearby restaurant. The fire department was staged several blocks away, as well they should be, and was dealing with large amounts of civilian and law enforcement wounded. Los Angeles is short on paramedic units on a good day, let alone in that kind of circumstance. Once the jury grasped all this, it didn't take them long to figure it out.

When I first moved to L.A., I lived in an apartment not far from the bank, and banked there, so (knowing the scene), the really scarey thing was the location of the wounded. This wasn't a situation where bullets are bouncing off the car you're behind and the damage is confined to one building on each side, there were people shot inside stores across Lankersham on the far side of that block-wide parking lot. These guys were perforating every thing in sight.

I'll watch with interest the portrayal on the show, but in the real world, that "charge of the light brigade" the SWAT team did on the second suspect took enormous huevos, gallons of adrenelin, or both.

[Normal4me]

I am still pissed. At the end they state that 12 "brave" officers risked their lives(and were injured)....They were hiding behind their cars! The SWAT team was stuck in traffic? Then they didn't have the needed weapons?? No one could make a head shot while the bad guys were reloading??

Ineptitude is no excuse for getting their asses kicked by a couple of thugs with semi-autos.

[Double Tap]

The two bank robbers were running machine guns, not semi-autos. And I can tell you without a doubt, that if I were in that situation, I would damn sure be behind the biggest chunk of American automobile I could find.
