Re: Pearland bank robbery/hostage situation

I looked at ALL the video links listed above, and it took quite a bit of time. I did NOT see a video that was shown on my local news last night (Corpus).

A number of the above video links show the lady in black pants and striped shirt leaving the bank with her hands up. Crossed a wide paved area, about ten feet of grass, then back onto a second paved area.

Last night I saw a man leave the bank the same way, hands up, crossing the same three areas listed above. When he reached some police, instead of asking him to lay down, one of the police took him to the pavement very roughly. I can think of no reason this was done in the way it was. Yes, these guys have to protect themselves, but this guy came about 100 feet towards them, hands up, wearing a tee shirt and pants, which would be difficult to conceal a firearm. I understand the police need to search everyone leaving the bank area as a 'bad guy' could try to disguise himself and escape in this manner. I saw no real need to take him roughly to the pavement the way was.
