Looks like the cops down in Red Oak have seen too many
Die Hard movies.
For about four hours today, the FBI and every cop in the Southwest Proper surrounded a bank in Red Oak due to a hostage crisis.
Turns out there were was no crisis. Yeah, a guy had robbed the bank earlier, but he had been caught away from the scene.
For some reason, the cops thought there was a hostage crisis going on inside. So one by one the employees of the bank walked out with their hands up.
Yeah, I understand everyone being cautious. But you would think that some time during the four hours there would have been enough phone calls made to convince everyone that everything was OK.
