The Atlanta Police Department released bodycam footage Wednesday that showed its officers detaining Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther, after they mistook him for a bank robber in January.
Police showed up to a branch of Bank of America on Jan. 7 after Coogler requested to withdraw $12,000 from his bank account, according to an incident report also released Wednesday.
The 35-year-old director showed his California ID, his bank card, and gave his PIN number, but the bank teller became suspicious when Coogler wrote on the back of the deposit slip to be discreet with the money.
"My stomach started turning," the bank teller, who was pregnant, told police in the bodycam footage, adding, “I have to protect myself. I have to protect my child."
Coogler was wearing sunglasses, a hat, and a face mask. Both Coogler and the bank teller are Black.
The bank teller told police on the video that Coogler's account showed an alert indicating it was a "high-risk transaction." That's when she told her manager that she was uncomfortable. She called 911.
Coogler said he was waiting for the bank teller to bring him his money when suddenly he heard the sound of guns being pulled from holsters behind him.
Bodycam footage shows police officers handcuffing Coogler inside the bank, with a close-up of the back of his sweatshirt, which reads "Fear of God."
"What's going on?" Coogler asks as he put his hands behind his back.
The officers then bring him outside and put him in the back of the police car.
Coogler explains to officers that the money was for a medical assistant who works for his family who prefers to be paid in cash. He adds that he didn't want the people around him to know how much money he was taking out and that he regularly gives bank tellers a note when withdrawing cash.
“She got scared when a Black dude handed her a note,” Coogler says to police in the video. “If she was scared, she’s got to admit that.”
While Coogler explains what happened, he also tells officers that he feels he's about to have a panic attack and is trying to manage his emotions.
"Y'all explaining y'all's perspective, right," Coogler says to the police. "Y'all the ones with guns and vests. Y'all understanding what I'm saying?
What's my perspective? What's my perspective? At the bank, she never shared there was a fucking problem, bro."
Two people who were waiting for Coogler in a black SUV outside the bank are also handcuffed. After everyone is questioned and the police seem to determine there had been a mistake, Coogler asks for everyone to be removed from handcuffs. The police oblige.
Coogler asks for all the officers' names. When an officer suggests he write it down, the director says he wasn't going to reach in his car for a pen or piece of paper.
"I'm not reaching in there, bro," Coogler says to the police. "I ain't had guns drawn on me in a while, bro. Y'all understand what I'm saying? I'm trying to get my own money out of my own account. ... It's a major problem, man."
Police wrote down a list of all the officers involved in the incident as well as the case number and provided it to Coogler, the footage shows.
In the 911 call, the bank teller tells the operator that when she asked Coogler a question about how he wanted the money, he told her to look at the note on the deposit slip.
"I asked for his ID and he handed me his ID," the teller tells the operator in the 911 call. "It's a California ID, but I didn't look at his name because I'm just, like, so shook up. I don't know what he's trying to do."
Coogler is a writer and director whose Oscar-winning and -nominated films include Black Panther and Creed. He is currently in Atlanta filming the sequel to his Marvel hit, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, set to premiere on Nov. 11.
In a statement to BuzzFeed News, a spokesperson for Bank of America said, "We deeply regret that this incident occurred. It never should have happened and we have apologized to Mr. Coogler."
Chata Spikes, the public affairs director for the Atlanta Police Department, told BuzzFeed News that the department did not have an individualized comment but sent a link to an updated statement saying that the department had received "many requests" for comment.
"The responding officers acted appropriately given the information they had at the time, and quickly resolved the situation with no injury to anyone involved," the statement reads.
Coogler did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement reported Wednesday by the New York Times, he said the situation "should never have happened," but that Bank of America “worked with me and addressed it to my satisfaction and we have moved on.”

APD has had many requests for a statement on this incident. We have already released bodycam, dashcam, 911 audio, and the incident report so those interested can discern for themselves what occurred. The responding officers acted appropriately given the information they had at the time, and quickly resolved the situation with no injury to anyone involved.
It may be best for those interested in this case to contact the Bank of America for comment.
fam anything over ten thousand have to fill out a cht report before u walk out the bank, u can't just fill out a withdrawl slip and hand one id and a debit card.... to take out twelve thousand
Understood... however he had all the necessary ID to get his money. Any reports are the responsibility of the bank to provide..and I've never heard that even being reported as part of the story...
You're the ONLY person or news source mention that that had ANYTHING to do with the situation...if you have more info, please provide it.
People mistakenly think that transactions over 10k get flagged...it's much less (my girl worked at a bank) and you can't try to take out 5k twice and think that won't get you reported.
But, that doesn't change anything about what I said or how it SHOULD'VE been handled...
If it WAS a robbery and the teller didn't read the instructions, that could've been the quickest way to getting killed.
Matter of fact, there wasn't even anything threatening in the note...if she had bothered to read it...
But she Colin'd
Brother, Ryan is a Cali dude, he is currently shooting black panther in Atlanta, Ryan has to learn to use the support system so he don't get caught up, a phone to Disney to call the bank and make preparations would have kill all this noise, all he had to do is see the manager and pick up the money because the studio clear the transaction. They heading to put Rico to shoot the rest of the film, are we going to hear he got arrested for the same shit over there too?
So, you think Coogler was satisfied because BoA provided only an apology?
Y'all funny
I hope not, and I have an account with them
In his defense, 12k isn't an extreme amount of money. Why get Disney involved for 12k?
We shouldn't be blaming the victim for the banks mistake. I don't think he did anything wrong.
Man, thank you- I didn't want to say it- I get that to many people, 12k is like this huge amount of money. But to many people, it's not.
I'll go ahead and say this too- Given how everything went down, it was going to happen if he had been withdrawing 12 hundred dollars. Or 12dollars.
12k is not nothing, but it's also no reason to set up some special appointment or have an assistant arrange a sit down or any of that.
and in the video he tells the cops he does this all the time.... I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's not lying... so NOW it's his fault?
The bank makes a SERIES of mistakes (mistakes that could have gotten this man killed) and what I'm hearing is; "Oh, he should have had his Valet contact the bank President and inform them of Mr. Coogler's pending arrival.....

A buncha sambos in this thread. But there is one out-samboing the others.
Gotta love how they talk around the Teller's numerous protocol fuckups and/or how Coogler is not the 1st of person (celebrity or otherwise) to withdraw over 10K and WAY WAY more at the counter to victim-blame.
They did the extreme with me when I went for a second cash advance. I had to call my Bank to call their Bank before the second authorization which was about 4k I think, I forgot what I needed it for but the first transaction was more which went through with no issues. I don't like Bank of America but I had no choice but to go to them because other banks wouldn't let me withdraw over 2k.
Edit. Dude did outstanding and he sees his money, nothing wrong with that. He handled it extremely well and will increase his wealth by 50%. Smart man, controlled his emotions.
Also, none of those assholes apologized or explained it adequately.

The problem is a dude as high up as the director of a Marvel Blockbuster franchise with real money having to interact on a business level with a very low rent unintelligent chick who never seen that type of "black man" because she is unintelligent low rent.
I mean did you hear how she sounded on the 911 call? And Coogler has to interact with someone like her about his type of money?
Finally watched the video. Damn shame.
1. No way the teller and manager followed bank procedures. Which is indicated in the 911 call.
2. Ryan never had an issue doing this at any BOA, so why should he have to call ahead to make a withdrawal. Like JG Wentworth says"its my money and I want in now".
3. Him passing the note is something he does all the time sounds like it. Can't fault the man because someone neglected to read the note fully. The manager should have read the note also. It's bullshitt all the way around.

I can’t remember the last time I used a withdrawal slip, 5 years maybe. I just walk up to the teller and ask to withdraw 12k regularly. The teller themselves have to fill out special paper work, not the customer. I just take my money and never any issues. I’ve been told sometimes to call ahead before I come bc the might have enough money left for big withdrawals but I’ve never done that and have never any issues either
He didn't want to make it known how much money he was taking out.
If I need a couple of grand, I usually just go to the teller, but that is only in areas I know in my city. Best believe if I needed that much cash I would have been cautious.
I'm curious to see if and when there are any new Bank of America advertising

@largebillsonlyplease @ViCiouS
I feel like BOA probably just pointed at the vault and said take what you want Mr. Coogler
HE HAD THAT AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNT!!!!!!
THE HIGH RISK IS STANDARD BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT NOT BECAUSE HE DID ANYTHING WRONG!
YOU DID NOT LOOK AT THE ID!?!?!?
That Fat ass nigga with the beard? Fuck him
Now COP was on sum ole bullsh*t trying to reframe the scenario
