New Jersey SWAT Team in Standoff with Cardboard Cutout
News Type: Event — Seeded on Mon Dec 1, 2008 11:14 AM EST
Article Source: New York Postadvertisement
A group of cops in New Jersey looked like turkeys Thanksgiving night after an hourlong standoff at a bank with an armed "bandit" that turned out to be a life-size cardboard cutout of a man.
...Mitchell said the cutout was first spotted when an officer responding to the alarm looked through a window and saw it on the screen of the bank's surveillance monitor.
The cutout - for an advertising promotion - was gone yesterday afternoon.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I heard the DA doesn't intend to prosecute. Apparently the case against the cutout is paper-thin.

Ooooh that was bad. Did you just fly in from Miami? Are your arms tired?

I suppose we should be glad no one was hurt. The cutout was probably a better shot than most of the officers.
