    Default LAPD Officers’ Shootout against Four Bank Robbers in 1920s Los Angeles

    The LA Times called it the “city’s most spectacular gun battle” ever.It was 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 22, 1925, when four hardcore criminals led by an ex-con bank hold-up man from Chicago, robbed the Hellman Bank in downtown Los Angeles at Ninth and Santa Fe Avenue. The suspects, all heavily armed with shotguns, revolvers and semi-automatic pistols entered the bank and ordered everyone to the floor before jumping on the counters and riffling through all the tellers’ drawers, taking more than $19,000.

    A good story, and testament to the moral values that were once a large part of our society.

    These values are still a major part of Law Enforcement, as it should be.
