I don't think I've heard of anything like this before... all these innocent people cuffed until they could find a bank robber. I heard one report that 36 people in total were cuffed for about 2 hours. Do you think this is constitutional at all? I smell a few lawsuits.
Responding officers barricaded the area, trapping about 25 cars near the intersection. Then police went car by car and pulled out each occupant at gunpoint and handcuffed them.
"Cops came in from every direction and just threw their car in front of my car," said Sonya Romero, who was one of the drivers handcuffed. "We all got cuffed until they figured out who did what."
