That dentist saved both of the officers' lives.

It makes me smile to know that Dr. Jorge Montes became friends with James Zboravan.

Just a reenactment. It was mentioning the more life saving actions like starting IVs and rushing to hospital and communicating to hospital so doctors will be ready and waiting. Some scenes have been deleted from the original documentary that should have been left in, to me. Some SWAT members were at a police training gym or facility and had guns in their unmarked cars. They ran and jumped in their cars and took off for the scene as they were, in shorts and Tshirts. In the original it showed them leaping out and going on bellies prone to shoot at bad guy’s legs under car. When he went down and they converged around him one officer was in shorts and a Tshirt with flip flops on. I always point him out to my son, who was a SWAT team member for years, and though it broke his heart he had to leave and become a detective for a more 8 to 5 job when his son was born to juggle child care with his wife, a TV news reporter who worked an evening shift. It all worked out and he returned to SWAT once hi son reached school. My grandson will be 14 in December and my son is now a lieutenant. He joined the police force in Austin, TX soon after he graduated from University. They both live to surf and dive. Another deleted scene that was great is when an officer points out a gun shop and before SWAT arrived they went in to ask what weapons they had and could they use some. The owner opened the cage door and unlocked everything and said, Take what you need, guns or ammo, and they did. Everybody was doing all they could to help. Lots of brave supportive people that day. Congrats to all!! Best wishes to wounded, so glad all the good guys survived! ❤

@@loditx7706 uh yeah we know it was a reenactment. It could have been done better. Like medics and Dr in movies and TV shocking a flat line. Drives most of us completely nuts. Ive been known to throw small objects at the tv over this.

@@kelliethornton7986 Lol wtf why are you throwing stuff at the TV lmao so unnecessary. "Ive been known to.." lol

This is very low quality

Wow really

​@@armexhinesproduce a better one then

yeah but half of the time officers are just on the road using there Sirens for attention and so they can also beat traffic. same goes to paramedics!!

@@frankwest4003 Not anymore, it's illegal and they have dashcams now. Anything and everything they do is recorded

Yeah.. but considering ~25% of us bank robberies from 1982-1992 were in LA, if the SWAT team was called every time there was a bank robbery, they would be called out several times every single day. JUST FOR LA! California is messed up.

They was on training that day and far away from that location plus L.A traffic is always insane I live here in LA and is annoying

are u considered a first responder in the state worked in?? because they arent in many areas and that should change..

@@culbyj3665 No, they shouldn’t be considered first responders. Not to detract from them, but you’re wrong.

@@MoeBergOSSyes they should, they are the first contact with the people in need of help and provide critical information to the patient or bystanders to administer care until help arrives, while simultaneously providing critical information to whatever emergency services are responding. They have more than one job to do all at the same time within minutes, and it can be life or death if one part of that doesn’t happen BEFORE medical care arrives!!

@@vagirl19 They aren’t first responders. Police are. Dispatchers never have any physical contact with citizens.

It’s crazy it’s like something outta gta 5 or something

What school did you attend as a 15 year old that taught you to capitalize so many words and not teach proper grammar?

@@WindDancer435 wHaT

Wow really

​@@Maximus5775yea this was GTA 5 mission paleto score

That's exactly my question also. Why the swat team was so late?

It’s south California in the 90s....honestly I’m not surprised...still disappointed but not surprised given the time and area

Back in the 90's police swat teams were not a full time unit on call. They had their gear in the trunk of their police unit, they then had to drive to the location of their unit gear, get a briefing as to what was going on and why they were called before even heading to the scene of the crime. Had the FBI called ahead so the police dept could assemble their team and follow behind. Go watch the bank robbery in LA and get an understanding just how long it takes to get a unit together let alone toeven head in the direction they were needed.

Or stuck in traffic. TRAFFIC.

Maybe when you don't know something you should just shut up.what do you think they were doing? Playing checkers? You dont think they were moving as fast as possible? Come on

50 cals are also terrifying. You just don't know until it happens and you either freeze or react. One thing Hollywood got even remotely right is the pure pandemonium. And if you react you are likely almost robotic, you just do what you need to do and hope it's fast enough so the injured can be saved.

None of them know anything but a joystick

Call of duty players thinking they can take out an armed person in reality the guns are different in life and it is a big risk for them

Ikr

that was a different time.

Swat then isn’t how it is now, just like officers they didn’t have much more then a shotgun and service pistol

@@matthewkraft8323 Not true at all.

Ikr very late Big Time

this happened in 1997.

oh I thought a few officers died

​@@Goblin_591One officer almost died from blood loss. But he recieved life saving medical attention at the last minute.

@@LordMalice6d9 oh ok, thank you

Smart thinking of the guy that owned that pick up truck

Yeah this is actually a main reason that they have military grade assault rifles in there trunk

Sadly people forget these lessons, then complain when they see officers are fully armed. Frankly I'm GLAD officers are as well armed as the criminals are, after all, if they weren't then they wouldn't be able to enforce the law.

There's no reason to punish responsible citizens for the stupidity of others. Besides it they made guns illegal today do u really think that would stop criminals from owning them when they can't even keep drugs put of the country? I don't think so, then all your doing there is leaving honest people without a way to defend themselves. You anti gun people don't think

How do you misread the lesson SO BAD

100% tired from cops videos!

Cl Ra All of the wounded officers survived, they people who were killed were the robbers.

Noah Remnek yes I know

That's the day I was born it's crazy

My dad's birthday

I’m sure they hand picked the day, a day to remember

Ur crazy 😅😅....but that was insane buddy 😃😅😅😎🔫

lmao!

5⭐'s

This is scary as hell that really happened.

Except,in gta, the swat team is quicker to show up

yeah I wanna know if he kept keys out of habit or if he made a tactical decision..? has he ever been interviewed? pls send if ya find one . I havent

Yes, but those were then confiscated in California and were not returned

Larry and Emil are also responsible for the robbery of an armored car in Littleton, Colorado in July of 1993. I suspect that the reason why law enforcement agencies didn't suspect Phillips and Matasareanu in the Littleton heist is because the summer of 1993 is known as the Summer of Gang Violence by law enforcement agencies in the Denver metro area. As a result; the Littleton Police Department and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department chalked up the armored car robbery to gang violence.

I think this is already the case, every officer recieve a formation to use assault rifles weaponry. However, I believe, it is unlikely that every patrol is heavy arms equipped. And if every officers needed to be train like SWAT, at the end, it would resulted in less number qualified officers on the field because of the harsh training requirements.

i feel bad for the officers poor aim,why didn't the officers try to shot for the head?!

@@frankwest4003 Your comment is one step from being a "git gud" comment lol.

@@detectivemarkseven I just searched up git gud,honestly i'm kind of confused because I don't really understand. pls explain

@@frankwest4003 It's an idiot gamer term that is often used to mock people who perform poorly in a *video game*. People forget that this is REAL LIFE, where you have to deal with adrenaline and other factors, where-as in video games you do not. As for why they didn't aim for the head. I'm going to assume you don't practice with a firearm all that much. After roughly twenty feet, sometimes even fifteen, it becomes harder to hit a target in the head than it is to hit center of mass (the chest). You are more likely to miss aiming for the head than the chest (it's why as a concealed carry holder, I was taught to hit center of mass and to only aim for the head if the target is within five feet of me) Another reason why they don't aim for the head is because doing so would be considered execution style shooting, the media would have a field day accusing the officers for being "judge jury and executioner". After all, the media doesn't know how to report things *without* bias and instead loves to make assumptions about why police (and others, for that matter) do things, instead of just waiting for all of the *facts* to come out.

Ik right Big Time

Wow really

The paleto score

And don't forget Dr. Jorge Montes who applied first-aid as much as he could to help the wounded

dangerous in my opinion, what if the helicopter got shot down with the swat and everyone inside, remember that the suspects had armor piercing bullets.

12:42

@@Magmax30 Yes true they had armor piercings but still i.m.a.o best choise at that point.

And where do you expect to safely land a helicopter in the middle of a firefight?

Premier Operation Squad mates?? Wasn't aware of that....

No it whas Made in Mongolië 😊

Norinco Type 56 actually

Because every new generation is different.

Those robbers 👁👅👁 i dont care

From my understanding, swat has improved with their response times, and regular officers are better equipped now to deal with a situation like this specifically because of this incident

The gunmen also had automatic weapons The police didn’t

Ik right me 2

I thought it was a local gun shop the LAPD had to go to in order to stop these lunatics...

it was a gun shop, but yeah

It was back before they were properly trained and armed.

😮 💯

Those guys belong to a supreme war with no limits

Wow really

@@samanthagomez7074 yea it was a cool documentary it's not like it only happens back in the day or around the world

@@termight90 K

SWAT was on scene within half an hour despite battling the LA traffic jam from DTLA to North Hollywood.

Least they could have used air support, their delay costed lives and immerse damage

@@joedolfliti7261 No helicopters in LAPD's fleet are big enough to transport a SWAT team.

I see, but to be honest with you the response was very slow, very slow indeed, i believe now they have rectified and are well off

@@joedolfliti7261 You DO realize that back then SWAT was a part time unit right? It's not like today where they are full time, and always at the ready, back then you had to call those officers and they would need to get back to the department to outfit themselves and then load up. This is the incident that changed that.

Tony - But the criminals can take some cops with them before they lose. That happened in the Miami firefight and the Newhall Incident.

Except they've already committed similar robberies over the past year and one armor car guard was killed prior to this. It's stopping them right there on Laurel Canyon and Archwood or more will be killed.

LAPD does try to balance lives vs. law enforcement today - it's why we have so many car chases. But at the end of the day, if you don't actively enforce the law, crime gets worse. That's what we're dealing with here now, crime in the LA area these days is off the charts. I'm all here for a well trained police force that doesn't escalate unnecessarily, but crime is crime.

Ok and? This may come as a surprise to you but most gun shops are cop friendly and don't have an issue with giving officers firearms when it comes to dealing with armed criminals. Second of all, the criminal who is bleeding out is still a threat. A wounded animal is more dangerous than one who is not.

Serves him right . 🙄 He shot himself right .

@@raekarenn4962 no the first suspect shot himself. The second suspect was shot by police.

@@Suisfonia if he was such a dangerous threat then why did they stand around him less than arm's reach away and just watch him bleed? And don't try saying they didn't. I watched the whole thing live when it happened.

@@V8DV You're idea of an "arms reach" is quite a bit different from everyone else's. They were much further away than that, and yes I also saw it as well. Yes, he was a dangerous threat, but that doesn't mean officers won't get close (after all, it's their job) to determine how much more of a threat he is. As far as why they didn't help him. It seems you, like others, have forgotten that back then officers didn't have the same level of medical training they do NOW. They didn't have tourniquets, and the law didn't really allow them to tend to serious injuries due to risk of lawsuits. It's different these days where officers not only have the training but also the equipment to help out. For someone who claims to have seen it live, you certainly don't know a whole lot.

The armored cars of the day didn't have the armor to stop Russian armor piercing ammo in fact not even the glass could stop a soft point hunting round from a 223 add to that the amount of fire and the concentration of said fire pretty much so nullifies that particular use

Remember this is not common the use of assault-style weapons in bank robbery kind of went away after the 1920s it wasn't until this incident proper armored vehicles were available so in essence you can thank the high incident Bandits for modern American policing

Assault style? Those were assault weapons by definition they are used by military around the world. Also meet criteria by full auto fire. Definition for assault rifle is "a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use."

@@richlkenneth There is no such thing as an assault weapon. Go liberal somewhere else

@@MoeBergOSS excuse me I am far from liberal.

It's la, he's on a high story, and probably on his free time and breaks he looks out at the city

Maybe he was a pervert and watched women. Lol

Cyber Yamasaki that’s what I was thinking. I didn’t understand them stupid robbers. I am happy that all the officers are still alive but felt bad for them.

They tried to leave, but the tires were shot out on their getaway car. Also, Philips was wounded by this point, plus the sedatives he had taken earlier were making him confused and erratic.

LOghow was that response viewed by the public??

@@culbyj3665 Pakistani public demanded justice and called for a grand operation. Army who was in negotiations with terror groups for peace stopped their negotiations.All political party leaders opposition and government made one press conference that we will crush them. Eventually the army, air force and commandoes from navy, paramilitary forces started operation. Majority of terrorists were killed and few of them flee to Afghanistan. Army dismantled bomb factories in that region and then our country became peaceful.

Larry Phillips and his partner had about 7 thousand rounds. They used drum magazines. Phillips was a career criminal.

They aren't yet sure that they are the criminals
