The FBI Had To Rethink Their Profession After This Very Case

On October 20, 1981, masked gunmen from a Black Liberation Army and Weather Underground alliance robbed a Brink's truck at the Nanuet Mall, killing guard Peter Paige, then ambushed and killed Nyack officers Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown at a roadblock. Police chief Alan Colsey stopped one getaway car, and a trail of safe houses, informants and ordinary tips led the FBI task force to the rest of the gang, ending with leader Mutulu Shakur's arrest in Los Angeles in 1986.The case exposed an armed network of domestic radicals nobody knew existed, and its sacrifice pushed police departments to rethink their weapons, training and cooperation.
