Do you have stats on how many deaths there have been when bank robberies have been attempted to be stopped? In this case, there wasn't any.
Since we don't often here these kinds of news stories, it's safe to assume the vast majority of bank tellers don't try to prevent the robberies.

Quote from: Hollywood on August 03, 2009, 09:39:31 PM
So it stands to reason bank robbers usually don't shoot anyone, regardless of what happens.

But I thought bank robbers were crazy?

But I thought that conflict means innocent people die? Actually looking at the stats, there's a telling stat.

10 of the 13 deaths were bank robbers. So in other words, when they were challenged by someone, almost all the time they were the ones who got owned. Even if it was the authorities. (edit: I see that a police officer died too .. I guess he shouldn't have attempted to try to stop a bank robbery either, and just let him get away with it.)

Find me the stats where people have been killed because of a teller trying to stop a robbery, versus a teller apprehending a robber. I simply don't believe someone dies because someone steps up and tries to stop them like you make it sound. And that is all, I've wasted enough time on this worthless argument.

Even badass bank employees usually don't make it.

what if the teller didn't stop him and the robber used the money to fly the bank into the empire state building?

Maybe I'm just a simple country bumpkin, but wouldn't it be far safer to just give the robber the federally-insured money that he wants than to cause a scene where people could be potentially hurt which NO ONE wants?

Wait? What? The policy is to prevent conflict--and it seems to be working. In 2006, No customers died.

"Challenged?"
"Even if it was the authorities?" The police weren't "challenging" bank robbers, they were trying to arrest them. Sometimes, the robbers shoot at them and the police fire back, resulting in ten deaths.

umm... no. You find the stats. This probably happens so infrequently that there aren't any meaningful statistics.

Then you can't prove it's not a valid course of action for a teller to take.

QED, throw the teller a parade and make him branch president.

No the safest thing would be for all bank employees to carry concealed weapons - after a five day training course, of course. That way when a crazy bank robber comes in he will be rightfully owned before he can do more harm.

I didn't find stats, but this is from the US Department of Justice:

Quote

the risk that a robber will encounter resistance is extremely low.
Bank employees are so compliant that the robbery itself is a quick and efficient transaction; more than two-thirds of bank robberies are completed in three minutes or less

they oftentimes have these employees at banks called "security guards" who are armed and trained to deal with these situations.

But what if the Joker has already planted his own men on the inside as security guards??
