Case 18: The North Hollywood Shootout

DESCRIPTION
On the 28th of February 1997 Los Angeles police officers, Perello and Farrell were on routine patrol driving along Laurel Canyon Blvd, North Hollywood.
As they were driving past the Bank of America they saw two large figures enter the bank. Both were dressed in black, both were wearing ski masks and both were carrying automatic rifles. What followed, was 44 minutes of mayhem…

Could we please give some recognition to the despatcher. She deserved a medal.

[@Jayrod6667]

I work dispatch for LAPD and that dispatcher was one of my instructors, she's legitimately amazing.

[@SHurd-rc2go]

@@Jayrod6667 Thank you for your hard work. A very stressful job in any big city now.

[@leona6415]

No kidding. Such grace under fire.

[@jennyhan1982]

She is truly amazing!

[@MavalocKing5050]

Very interesting. You're literally the only KZbinr who's talked about this case in depth. So many details that I wasn't aware of. And by the way, you have an excellent narration voice.

[@daymeinvanblocken3407]

What a great case to listen to. Thanks.

[@anthonychristian4807]

This was made into a film with David Soul playing one of the Bank robbers

[@ibraheemtemur3469]

Yes, what a way to go out!

[@karen81986]

My favourite podcast. Everyone is gripping

[@truthylucy7068]

I remember when all of this went down! Listening to this video was riveting, I felt like I was right there! Those SOBs were on a mission, and the fire power alone for a bank robbery was insane. This is one shootout that those of us remember are likely to ever forget!

[@paras5435]

Brilliant outcome... the bad guys died.

[@MsBeachLizard]

Absolutely riveting!

[@funnydylan9834]

32:23, 40:59 you can hear the gunfire in the background. Chilling. 😳

[@Lownamebrand]

Of course good job amazing job by the police but I really hope that dispatcher got a raise cuz she has been amazing the whole course of everything

[@johnfoster6915]

Wow, what a story, glad I found you.

[@JudeNance]

Interesting case. Thank you 😊

[@charlessmith1853]

I listened to many videos on this but this one is by far the most detailed. I turned 18 that year.

[@phatlassie]

Excellent all around. Narrator perfect in tone when using perps curses.

[@charlenemonique1]

I never even knew the details of this case. I just remember My mother watching it play out on tv that day and then telling me about it. This is as much as I’ve learned about it after all of these years 🤔

[@cynthiagibson2286]

I remember this! This is where police finally realized they were out gunned.

[@texastea5686]

Oooh I remember taking a criminal justice course in college many moons ago and we had a whole week of going over this case

[@JudeNance]

Such brave officers 👏💙

[@noelburton4143]

Thrilling!

[@KnobleSloth]

11:11 39 millimeter ammo huh? These guys shooting tanks or planes? Or did you mean 7.62x39? 39mm is a fucking cannonball ffs

[@christopherlambert893]

Yea but hes austrailian what do you expect...they handed theyre guns over to the government years ago and trust them to protect them now

[@leona6415]

@@christopherlambert893 Australia, where kids at schools, or families at parades, aren’t shot at with assault weapons. Yup. They’re doing something wrong. 🙄🙄🙄

[@leona6415]

Robert Mills, What’s it like to be perfect? 😎😎😎

[@DB.KOOPER]

WTF is "39mm ammo"???

[@cynthiagibson2286]

The lady was very good!

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

That's what ye call being prepared

[@JudeNance]

They were walking armored 🚗

[@kelly2fly]

The female dispatcher has very keen hearing. Amazing work on her part.

[@thedisabledwelshman9266]

should have got the SAS in lol.

[@Ammo08]

Steve martin sent me here...

[@SilverWalker84]

This is kinda like reservoir dogs (except less dialogue and morr gun fighting)

[@triggerhappy8872]

If it was a wounded cop laying on the road wounded they would’ve let a ambulance through to help him or they would’ve carried him themselves to a ambulance..

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

Seen this on another channel

[@garyhashimoto5915]

Too many adds to enjoy properly

[@inbry]

Some people use KZbin Premium (I use it, personally, since I hate to deal with ads and like to enjoy gaming streams and podcasts like this). If you can't pay, or prefer not to pay, other people say downloading ad blockers help

[@texastea5686]

I've been paying for YT premium for about 2 years now and do NOT regret it

[@thetvbaby83]

Lacrosse or suicide 🤔

[@dc2347]

I get that you are trying to receive ad revenue.. but an ad every 5 min? 🙄 I’m halfway through and I can’t do this shit anymore.

[@leona6415]

It’s my understanding that content creators have no control over AD play. I went premium. No ads, ever. Worth it because of how often I come to YT. I’m happy to pay to get a better experience. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥳

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

​@leona641im the same premium all the way

[@richardgray131185]

Adverts are too frequent.

[@robertritchey1060]

What is that God damned unbearable noise in the background starting at 46:48? Whoever edited this video needs to get their shit together

[@claudiapaz3718]

Great podcast, but the police radio audio is so annoying and kind of redundant. The same with emergency calls in other cases, is hard to understand what people are saying and is so much screaming that my poor ears suffer

[@stevenrears6944]

Claudia Paz so get ear plugs or don’t listen he does great work and he has to work with what he can find and these police are screaming! Wouldn’t you be?!

[@kellismith8813]

I like that he includes the recordings. Even when I can't quite hear them, it is just crazy to hear the people that were actually involved. You can feel there energy and emotions in the recordings. It's not always important to hear the words, the fear and bewilderment in their voices says a lot some times

[@jt2249]

It helps with context and communicating the stakes

[@aaainaaaa]

oh no your poor ears, stupid twat

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Listen to the despatcher.

[@bh8750]

The background noises and rythems are very irritating. I wish the background music and noise would stop. I wanted to listen to it all because I enjoy your story telling bu the extra noises are just too much.

[@phatlassie]

I disagree. I find they are subtle & add to the suspense & story.

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

​@phatlassie same here love it

[@LilDitBit]

sheeeeeeeet

[@anthonychristian4807]

Poor piggies don't like it when the tables are turned

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

Dear little piggies here comes your Halloween party in installments lol

[@johnoneill7947]

If Novak gets the calendar year grand slam (Golden or not) the GOAT debate is over. If he wins the match point in the final of the 2021 US Open the umpire will say, “Game, Set, Match, Championship, Grand Slam and GOAT debate, Mr Djokovic!”
