    The 1986 FBI Miami shootout occurred on April 11, 1986, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, U.S., when a small group of field agents for the FBI attempted to apprehend William Russell Matix and Michael Lee Platt, who were suspected of committing a series of violent crimes in and around the Miami metropolitan area. The duo had committed at least 7 armored truck and bank robberies in the Miami area.
    The C-1 Miami FBI Bank Robbery Squad were perplexed by the idea of two individuals so actively operating in the area without allegiance or subset. Thus birthing an 18 month long investigation.. But all would come to an end on April 11th 1986- after agents stumbled upon the suspects vehicle. A 1979 Black Monte Carlo.

      Beau..... Did the FBI ever talk to you at all? I mean these two killed 2 agents and wounded five more. I think they would want to understand these guys to the best of their abilities. There was no Twitter, UA-cam, or FB to get into and violate citizens' first amendment rights. Maybe this was a different breed of FBI agents before Super Patriot Comey was recruited to spy on Americans. I think the FBI should be disarmed now, I used to hold them in great regard.

    The reason this changed how the FBI equips and trains their agents is because both Agents Grogan and Dove were killed while trying to get Dove's 9mm handgun working again after it had been struck by a bullet fired by Platt. Additionally, when Agent McNeil was shot, blood got into his revolver's chambers which made it impossible to reload.
    Lastly, autopsies on both Platt and Matix showed they had not taken any chemicals or drugs prior to the shootout, and despite receiving multiple would-be traumatic gunshot wounds were able to fight the entire duration of the shootout, approximately 5 minutes. This led to the FBI and law enforcement in general changing their personnel's service weapons to something with much more stopping power.

    Couple things I noticed. First, Platt didn’t have an M16, it was a Mini-14 with a folding stock and jungle taped 30 rounders. Second, there are a lot of details of the gunfight glossed over like the car stop the agents did so they could get the robbers off the street, where they decided to do it, and what went on.
    McNeil attempted to get to his shotgun but thought it was quicker to just dump his revolver into the windscreen, when Platt shot him in the hand and prevented him from reloading. When that happened, Mirales was behind him rolling out of the car with his shotgun and got hit in the arm and was taken out of the fight for a time (he came back later). Hanlon had lost his revolver and drew his backup snub nose and took cover with Grogan and Dove who had 9mm S&W. Grogan had lost his glasses in the crash and had poor eyesight without them. Across the street were two more agents that were not hitting anything. When Platt attempted to get out of the car, he presented his torso to Dove who made the “shot heard around the world” that went through Platt’s arm and into his chest. By this time at least three agents were disabled or out of the fight. When Platt got back to his feet, he charged Grogan’s car, wounding Hanlon in the arm and hand, killing Grogan and Dove, then went to shoot Hanlon again. So 6 disabled right there. As Platt went to get into Grogan’s car, Mirales came back and hit Platt in the foot, then emptied his shotgun into the side window and windshield one handed. It was said the last shot was fired into the engine block and disabled or damaged the starter. Matix was also in the passenger seat at this time. While Mirales was getting to his revolver, Platt returned with a 44 magnum and fired several shots, missing Mirales entirely. Platt gets back into Grogan’s car and it fails to start, giving Mirales time to advance with his revolver and finish Platt and Matix off.
    If you want better detail, you can watch Paul Harrel’s video on his analysis of the shootout or the movie he mentions.

You gave a few little tidbits of information that shows you really did your research for this one. Besides the North Hollywood Shootout, this incident changed policing, weapons and tactics for years to come. Ballistics were studied, new calibers and handguns were invited, and the world changed.

      Doesn't really seem like "thug praise." Just stating they were combat veterans with military training. These were not your standard bank robbers in the area at the time. This context is relevant for the events that lead to the shootout. As evidenced by the 2 agents who lost their lives and the other 3 that were wounded. You are right in the sense that Paul's video was more informative. But both have very different styles. Paul's video gave zero context about the events leading to the shootout whereas he went into deep analysis of the shootout. This is a broader view. Videos on this topic could easily be 2 hours long. But both popo medic and Paul found their own style of presenting the information.

    I remember when this story made national news at the time. In 1988 a great TV movie came out called "In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I Murder" with David Soul and Michael Gross as Platt and Matix. Both of them were excellent in their portrayals of these two well-prepared sociopaths, and it's definitely worth checking out if you can find it anywhere.

      It's kind of interesting; in California this was barely a blip on the radar, despite the repercussions it caused in law enforcement. But Miami was such a horrific mess at the time (remember, this was the era of "Miami Vice", which was of course a fictionalized series set in that environment) that "...another shootout in Miami" was hardly worth mentioning on the evening news anymore - such things were dispensed with in favor of more local stories.
      It was only a few years later as I got engaged in internet legal, law enforcement, and firearms groups on USENET that I realized the full impact this event had.

    The moment where the music cut away and it was just gunshots and radio traffic hit the nail on the head. One of the things that hit you the hardest after a gunfight is just how quiet the world was around you. Sure there was gunfire and radio traffic, but the adrenaline sharpened your senses and everything else around you was quiet. Which just ends up amplifying every gunshot in your memory.
    You nailed the feeling of it all by cutting out the background music.

I also believe one of the agents that was killed lost his glasses in the crash. Making a impact on the prescription glasses that you could wear. Not sure if those are both true just things I heard from my crazy vet uncle.
