The 1986 FBI Miami Dade Shootout... (*MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY*)

Ed Mireles' book is available here: edmireles.com/
The 1986 FBI Miami shootout occurred on April 11, 1986, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, U.S., when a small group of field agents for the FBI attempted to apprehend William Russell Matix and Michael Lee Platt, who were suspected of committing a series of violent crimes in and around the Miami metropolitan area. The duo had committed at least 7 armored truck and bank robberies in the Miami area.
The C-1 Miami FBI Bank Robbery Squad were perplexed by the idea of two individuals so actively operating in the area without allegiance or subset. Thus birthing an 18 month long investigation.. But all would come to an end on April 11th 1986- after agents stumbled upon the suspects vehicle. A 1979 Black Monte Carlo.

[@nightfires2k12]

The reason this changed how the FBI equips and trains their agents is because both Agents Grogan and Dove were killed while trying to get Dove's 9mm handgun working again after it had been struck by a bullet fired by Platt. Additionally, when Agent McNeil was shot, blood got into his revolver's chambers which made it impossible to reload. Lastly, autopsies on both Platt and Matix showed they had not taken any chemicals or drugs prior to the shootout, and despite receiving multiple would-be traumatic gunshot wounds were able to fight the entire duration of the shootout, approximately 5 minutes. This led to the FBI and law enforcement in general changing their personnel's service weapons to something with much more stopping power.

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

Couple things I noticed. First, Platt didn’t have an M16, it was a Mini-14 with a folding stock and jungle taped 30 rounders. Second, there are a lot of details of the gunfight glossed over like the car stop the agents did so they could get the robbers off the street, where they decided to do it, and what went on. McNeil attempted to get to his shotgun but thought it was quicker to just dump his revolver into the windscreen, when Platt shot him in the hand and prevented him from reloading. When that happened, Mirales was behind him rolling out of the car with his shotgun and got hit in the arm and was taken out of the fight for a time (he came back later). Hanlon had lost his revolver and drew his backup snub nose and took cover with Grogan and Dove who had 9mm S&W. Grogan had lost his glasses in the crash and had poor eyesight without them. Across the street were two more agents that were not hitting anything. When Platt attempted to get out of the car, he presented his torso to Dove who made the “shot heard around the world” that went through Platt’s arm and into his chest. By this time at least three agents were disabled or out of the fight. When Platt got back to his feet, he charged Grogan’s car, wounding Hanlon in the arm and hand, killing Grogan and Dove, then went to shoot Hanlon again. So 6 disabled right there. As Platt went to get into Grogan’s car, Mirales came back and hit Platt in the foot, then emptied his shotgun into the side window and windshield one handed. It was said the last shot was fired into the engine block and disabled or damaged the starter. Matix was also in the passenger seat at this time. While Mirales was getting to his revolver, Platt returned with a 44 magnum and fired several shots, missing Mirales entirely. Platt gets back into Grogan’s car and it fails to start, giving Mirales time to advance with his revolver and finish Platt and Matix off. If you want better detail, you can watch Paul Harrel’s video on his analysis of the shootout or the movie he mentions.

Doesn't really seem like "thug praise." Just stating they were combat veterans with military training. These were not your standard bank robbers in the area at the time.

You are right in the sense that Paul's video was more informative. But both have very different styles.

The music is way too loud and distracting vs the audio footage. Not good.

[@kwickens17]

Love the extra work that has been added to your production. It has not gone unnoticed. Great job on the videos guys!!!! 2 thumbs way up!!!

[@georgejones1841]

Your videos are awesome it's like you can go back in time an live the moments on both sides of the story.

[@KEEPINITRIL]

There are a ton of comment on your videos about how great your videos are, and this is going to be another one! You keep nailing it with your videos!

[@Amaterasu2511]

My favorite channel on KZbin. Hands down. Excellent quality and work. The shootout scene you produced was amazing

[@The_Professor_]

This feels like the best production yet, the second best being the Rangers video. You managed to bring new life to a subject covered by other KZbinrs. Truly something fresh. Awesome job

[@iwatchtoomuchtruecrime]

Holy sh!t It’s been a while since I’ve seen a video on this channel, right around the time you changed formats & WOW! You have found your niche! This quality is out of the world!!! Kudos! I have to keep binging all of them now!

[@basslinepromotions]

This is the first video I've discovered on your channel and the way its put together is epic to say the least. Definitely subscribed from here on

[@escrows]

I legit get so excited when I see a new docu-series upload from Popo Medic. Bro you came here and exceeded everyone's expectations I think. By far my favorite KZbinr when it comes to breakdown videos like this, they're so well put together.

[@zachw9128]

Everything about your videos from your narrating to the editing to the visuals and the stories that you cover are fantastic! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to more.

[@ChrisDidGood]

I've been watching a few of these since I found your channel yesterday. Really cool stuff. Subscribed.

[@cslivestockllc138]

Nice find! Great channel, thanks!

[@JTheBarGod]

This is the most UNDERRATED show on KZbin 🔥

[@hoopdocs]

💯💯💯

[@joewynn2445]

Dude!!! Just when I think you can't top your last video you do! Your channel is going to have well over a million subscribers in no time with how good the video quality is, how well your research the topics, the freaking music!!! And the little details you throw in there, like how you recorded the car just before the gun fight. That was so damn sick!!

[@marcusrangel2844]

This is well put together. Loved every minute of it.

[@nWo_remiix]

i didnt want this video to end, wow you've really made a great video i was hooked from start to finish

[@john.f.remedy.237]

I like that you get straight to the point with clear/concise info. Videos are steady getting better and better with each one…

[@DeadAndAliveCat]

The production quality on these is nothing short of amazing. You have a true talent for this, man.

[@shmclaren6902]

Each new video keeps getting better & better & better. One word: riveting. Incredible work. Please keep them coming. Thank you.

[@arnellcordero3679]

Well done video! The title intrigued me and the commentary & score kept me in… Subscribed! Can’t wait for your next video.

[@totheinferno]

I eagerly awaited this one. So glad you covered it.

[@theimplication2581]

It's amazing how good this is. They are all excellent but, you're really out doing yourself now. Keep up the good work, brother. Appreciate you.

[@mistermu8]

You can just tell how much time goes in to perfect each of his videos. Earns a like from me every time.

[@pfmedic]

Man these vids are absolute fire. 🔥

[@DarykThorwin]

I believe the aftermath of the Miami Dade shootout led the FBI to select the 10mm for service. That's pretty significant if one shootout can lead to the whole bureau in adopting a new, larger caliber of round to use.

[@AhuizotlXiuh]

They couldn't handle 10mm so they settled with .40Short&Weak

[@DCYote1]

Holy crap man, this one was intense. These keep getting better every time! I think you've definitely found your niche.

[@fakename7255]

The production value of your videos just keeps getting better and better. You're a straight pro at this point. Love it! Keep it up man!

[@tylerwoodman4270]

My dad went to high school with Michael platt. Said he was like a golden boy stud athlete and then he went in the military and no one ever heard from him until they saw his name in the news. He didn’t have roots in our town, his dad was stationed at our local base

[@nigerianprince2795]

Dude that opening was so sick🔥 love the video, it’s very informative and entertaining

[@eldongrimes2306]

the technique the one officer used to shoot the shotgun one handed is definitely insane. lots of videos on it

[@foxxrider250r]

How do I find it and what do I search?

[@eldongrimes2306]

@@foxxrider250r paul harrel did a good video on the subject. called fbi 1986 miami dade shooting

[@Freediver01]

Dude the quality of your short documentaries keep getting better and better. This is really well made. Good job!!

[@TheWickerr]

Man, great videos. The story, the voice, plus this amazing music. You are amazing, keep it up.

[@abaddon-1172]

Your videos are very impressive. We'll put together great narrative, phenomenal editing. These episodes deserve to be on the big screen.

[@yui-omimuni9248]

Love these videos. Can't wait for the next
