As officers were celebrating a longtime sergeant’s retirement in the main room of Monaghan's Pub on Gwynn Oak Avenue, two masked men approached the carryout counter nearby around 5:30 p.m., police said. Monaghan's owner Jack Milani said the men demanded cash from the register and then took off.

Some of the off-duty officers attending the retirement party gave chase and arrested the two men nearby, the department said.
Milani said he was surprised that someone would commit a robbery at his business, which is just across from a precinct station. During shift changes, he said, there are a lot of squad cars coming and going into the station, and he said many of the officers are regular customers.

The 11 News I-Team has confirmed that police are reviewing the arrest of McCoy. The officers are at the center of a use of force investigation. A police incident report says an officer hit McCoy with a closed fist because police couldn't control his arms after tackling him.
use of force investigation, robbed a bar with a gun.. He's lucky he wasn't shot.

Sounds like a case of life almost imitating art.

Also happened at a bank branch next to a police station on a pay day.
Guy comes in shouts that it's a stickup and nearly everyone in the bank pulled a gun.
Do ask me for details, I read about it in the '70's.

That's the first thing I thought of as well, although this link it to the extended version, 1:13 instead of 0:30

That one likely played out a few times. Once was in Cincinnati; a cop who was there told me about it.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
