The racist hell hole that is America
Ryan Coogler was mistaken for a bank robber. The person who mistook him for a bank robber was a black bank teller. The person who briefly detained him and put cuffs on him was a black police officer.
Police responding to the bank branch in the upscale Buckhead neighborhood saw a black Lexus SUV parked out front with the engine running. An officer talked to the male driver who said he was waiting for Coogler, who was inside the bank. A female passenger gave police the same information.
A description of Coogler given by the driver matched the description of the man reported to have been trying to rob the bank, the report says. The officer detained both the driver and passenger in the back of a police vehicle but they were not placed in handcuffs.
Two other officers had gone inside the bank and led Coogler out in handcuffs.
Body camera video released by police shows officers approaching Coogler from behind as he stands at the counter wearing a light gray hooded sweatshirt, a black cap, sunglass and a white mask. As an officer pulls his gun and another tells him to put his hands behind his back, Coogler says, “Whoa, whoa, what’s going on?”
Coogler tells them he’s just trying to pull money out of his own account as he’s led from the bank.
Police determined the whole thing was a mistake by the teller and Coogler “was never in the wrong,” the report says The handcuffs were immediately removed and the other two people were released from the back of the patrol vehicle.https://www.boston.com/culture/national-news/2022/03/10/black-panther-director-ryan-coogler-mistaken-for-bank-robber-in-atlanta/This story is now being used to show what a racist shit hole this country really is.

The money is in taking down armored cars.
Risk/reward.
And the bad guys could snag some tasty bud and delicious edibles at the same time.
Not suspicious looking or baiting at all.
Oh yeah, the car he arrived in was parked out front with two people in it with the engine still running.
You show up, wearing a mask, sun glasses and a hat and you ask to withdraw over $10,000 and write on the back of the note you slip to the teller be "discreet" about handing over the cash.
This sure seems to me like this fucker was trying to prompt the response he received.
