NEVER FORGET

[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?

[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.

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.

Anti gun propaganda
Didnt bother to watch such crapola

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.

A few RPGs would have taken these scum out. No need for sharpshooters. The police should have had some in stock. Of course they were so outgunned they had to commandeer and strip clean a nearby gunshop.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

This is the second time Blair Underwood appeared in a TV production about this. He was also a cop in the underated police drama "High Incident" from 1997. This shootout was the subject of their final episode. It came out not too long after the real robbery. I thought the show was pretty good and handled that episode well.

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

And let us never forget that the Hollywood gun store to which the LAPD turned in order to get adequate weaponry was repaid its generosity by getting shut down by the Kalifornia government two years ago.

Seems that Kalifornia passed enough draconian anti-gun laws that the gun store could no longer remain solvent. The Liberals hailed the closure, of course.

Nevermind that the LAPD's butt would have been swiss cheese had it not been for the arsenal at that "oh so horrible" gun store in Hollywood...

I made tapes of the news footage and watched them for refreshing my memory. Definately some anti gun babble in this flick. But I thought it was entertaining! Explained it all to my 12 year old son. Then showed him the real footage. He shot a friends ak in the desert a few month ago and had a blast. Plus he shot some other guns.

I was the young guy handing the CAR-15 and AR-15 rifles to the actors. The director and producers were actually better about anti-gun remarks and fewer attempts to portray them. However this doesn't apply to shows like CSI MIAMI who recently filmed at Martin B. Rettings in 2002. Those bastards actually thought they could get away with putting a confederate flag on the wall. I promptly let them know too take it down now! They did with grumbles of course. It never stops amazing how anti-gun people are. People just seem willing to believe anything that’s told to them, its not that they question it, they want it to be true. When was the last time a gun law was past in California, and at the same time a brief on gun crime statistics? NEVER.
