>LAPD get tip off about Bank Robbery while it's happening. Ten seconds later they are at the bank. Was the police headquarters on the same street as the bank or something?
>>215527929banks are indeed often very close to police stations
>>215527929they witnessed denrio and his crew breaking and entering in that one place why did they just let him escape
>>215528424Because they hadn't stolen anything yet. If they had busted them, they would have got them on breaking and entering, but not anything that would keep them on jail very long. They would have made bail and ran away. He was a homicide cop, he needed to link them to the bank robbery where the guards were murdered.
>>215528334the bank I go to is on the opposite side of the city from the police station. they closed the drive-thru ATM because it was getting robbed too often.
>>215528522In hindsight he should have just arrested them there to get them off the street even for a while. They were too dangerous to let roam free
Did I just imagine reading this or is Heat loosely inspired by this shootout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FBI_Miami_shootout
