https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/stockholm-syndrome-meaning-bank-robbery-b2399531.html But the summary is
>Guy takes people in bank hostage>Threatens to kill them if he doesn't get his demands met>The police repeatedly fuck up and nearly get themselves and hostages killed while trying to fix the situation.>One of the hostages in particular is essentially made into the criminal's manager. Has to talk to police and others so that he doesn't put himself into any danger>Police nearly get her killed>She gets to talk to the prime minister during this time>The prime minister basically says if she dies then she should be proud to have died doing her job>Standoff lasts 6 goddamn days before finally they get him with tear gas>This is despite him threatening to immediately start executing hostages if they tried a gas attack>Once it's all over and the hostages are out the police are confused as to why they're upset with the cops and felt safer with the guy taking them hostage rather than the cops who continued to put them in danger>Psychiatrist who never once met any of the hostages decides to call it a psychological disorder>The cops receive no punishment for their mishandling of the situation. After all, you can't trust what the victims are saying, they have "Stockholm Syndrome"
