As Frisco police launch a formal investigation after a bank customer was detained based on a teller's suspicions, the customer has now hired a lawyer."Detained." Because "assaulted" is such an ugly word.
This wouldn't have happened if Jim Hardie had been there. And TV show notwithstanding, Wells Fargo once had the fortitude to be the hub of Gold Rush mining camps, to provide a civilization lifeline to outposts and settlements by manning stagecoaches through the wilderness, to deliver express mail by rider.
But bank employees are conditioned to be such excitable little dears nowadays. That's the problem with a helpless mindset, and in this case, a customer could have been killed.
WoG correspondent Tony G who sent me this story speculates "I wonder what would have happened if he had a CHL and his weapon on him."
Good point.
