Years ago, sixteen Greenwich cops arrived at one of the Chimblo’s to make an arrest and missed when he left by the back door. I suggested at the time that our forces would do better were they to split up and cover all sides of the house, rather than crowd in all together at the front door. I assumed that this common sense tactic was practiced in other areas of the country but no – here’s a story from Los Angeles where a counterfeiter armed with semi-automatic rifles and apparently observing the Federal Bank below him, left via a fire escape.
The cops in question say “it was just like the movies”, but if they spent less time stuffing their mouths with popcorn and actually watching, they might learn something.
