“I have a listen to dozens of shows on this topic and this is the first one that has been able to gather so many actual recordings from the events themselves. I had never heard 90% of the recording, and I thought that really added impact and credibility to the overall story. Frankly, it also made it much more interesting and real. While there were some important details left out in the initial episodes (i.e. the robbers planted a diversionary bomb before heading to the bank), overall this is very well done. I will agree with other reviews as I thought the same myself, at times this show does become more of an opinion piece than an actual historical narrative. While the officers involved might not have the right to take someone else’s lives, neither did the criminals have the right to take so many other peoples lives and terrorize a 40 mile area (including opening fire on a group of kids riding bikes). They were clearly out of control and needed to be stopped - by any and all means. There was no other outcome based on this series of events that would be positive. I find some of the commentary relating to the fact that the police had no right to take the criminals lives to be rather naïve and inappropriate. When a group of four men are firing thousands of rounds of ammunition at the police and public, what are the police supposed to do, ask them nicely to stop? Overall I think this is an ambitious effort and the narrator is clearly talented, although a bit biased.”
