The Gray Line, The Story Behind The Blue Line, is a law enforcement podcast discussing numerous topics. If you love God, Family, Country, Whiskey, and a Great Cigar, this is for you. Have a cigar and a cold drink with Retired Phoenix Police Detective Bobby Arce and Retired San Diego Police Detective Sergeants Doug Collier and David Contreras every Wednesday at 6 pm (PST). They are three former law enforcement gunslingers who interview past, present, and future gunslingers. All the episodes start with an introductory video and song. The Norco bank robbery took place May 9, 1980, at 3:40 pm. Four armed men entered the Security Pacific Bank in Norco, California, forcing the tellers to give them $20,000. A fifth robber waited outside in a van. The robbery, at the time, was considered one of the most violent in American history. It changed policing in the United States, and local police officials say it taught them how to deploy overwhelming force rapidly. SO WE THOUGHT - As we know, then came the North Hollywood shootout on February 28, 1997, when two bank robbers outgunned the LAPD.
