How to rob a bank

The plan was simple; rob the bank, split up in four different directions, and figure at least some of you would escape. Of course, as it turns out, all 4 of you were caught, more the pity. 

Or is the pity the fact that the police knew about the robbery...actually, more accurately, the police PLANNED the robbery. And hired the robbers. 

You see, it wasn't REALLY a robbery. I mean, sure, it might have felt like one to the bank tellers, security guards, and customers who were not informed of the drill.

Yes, you read that correctly. Police hired actors to rob a bank as a training exercise and never informed any of the people to be robbed that it was not, in fact, a real robbery. The problem? Only two people in the entire police department, bank, or customer system knew it was a training exercise. Everyone else thought it was real.

I just don't see how that could go wrong...a security guard shooting an actor, a policeman unaware of the drill using deadly violence. No, it seems like a brilliant plan to me... *sigh* good thing these stooges are protecting us because there are a lot more than three of them.
