The racist hell hole that is America
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.

Apparently you ain't black if you take a black person into custody. You are a willing participant in systemic white institutional racism.

I'm surprised there isn't more of this after two years of requiring masks in banks
What could go wrong? -
Another inconvenient and racist fact. Blacks make up 12-13% of the US population. Robbing banks well outside their weight class.

The money is in taking down armored cars.
Risk/reward.

There is hardly any money in banks any more. The ATMs can still have a decent haul. Any money that is there is hard to get to and not worth itPurpleThrobber said:

And the bad guys could snag some tasty bud and delicious edibles at the same time.

I would assume that like grocery stores, they would put the cash into a time sensitive vault. The problem is that they can't then use an armored car to take it to a bank. Treating it as a Schedule I drug still. But, the US House just passed legislation to allow dispensaries to take the cash to the bank.PurpleThrobber said:

Not suspicious looking or baiting at all.
