44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout

[Decepticon]

here's the video. it's a short film, but it does good at recreating the event and involving interviews with the officers involved. at the end it also includes a short compilation of actual footage of the shootout and some media footage of it. also, i may have made a few mistakes when writing this, please forgive me since i am sort of tired right now.  this was an event that had practically changed how police departments work, and how they are today.

(note: contains some gore and blood at times, if you're sketchy about that)

goddammit dude maybe you should post the documentary link before telling everyone what happens

"SO BASICALLY LUKE SKYWALKER IS OBI-WAN-KINOBI'S GRANDSON LIVING ON TANTOOINE WHEN OBI IS REQUESTED BY REBEL FORCES. HE ESCAPES THE PLANET WITH HAN SOLO WHERE THEY CHASE A REBEL SCOUT TO THE DEATH STAR. THEY RESCUE PRINCESS LEIA FROM HER EXECUTION AND THEN DROP A BOMB INTO THE CORE OF THE DEATH STAR, DESTROYING IT. BTW WE ARE WATCHING THAT MOVIE ON SUNDAY WITH THE GANG SO DON'T SPOIL IT FOR YOURSELF."

what amazes me is that no police officer got killed, only the two shooters ended up dying
