C'mon (spoilers)

I get this is a Michael bay film but if you're going to paint Jake G's character as some kind of bank robbing mastermind (38 banks robbed) then how could you possibly justify bringing just the one cop inside the bank and keeping the partner outside? How does that situation resolve itself when they want to leave?

Same kind of thing with the stolen ambulance, ok knock the paramedic out but you have to deal with him somehow, don't just leave him lying in the middle of the parking lot for the police to find.

As per previous paragraph they really needed to get out that ambulance within a few blocks of escaping from the police cordon. The unconscious paramedic was always going to be an issue.

Just really terrible direction. I thought the main actors did a decent job though

I think he thought he could avoid potential suspicion from the police if he let him in for a short period of time instead of having them being suspicious and maybe making phone calls to confirm the bank was really out of service (which is already suspicious in the first place). His mistake was giving him the wrong surname of the bank teller which is the cause for the entire ordeal.

The paramedic was knocked out as you said (therefore unconscious) and they already had to deal with the cop who was shot in the ambulance. Bringing him in with them didn't serve any purpose and they had no time to do so as they needed to move quickly.

The fact that he was unconscious when they left meant he couldn't reveal information to the other cops about them and it was just their luck (from the cops' perspective) that he managed later on to barely regain consciousness enough to help them.

It's a "leave your brain at the door/enjoy the action" type of movie so I can get over some inconsistencies but some of the criticism I feel is unwarranted when you don't really know how people would react if this were real life (unless you've been in the same type of situation which I doubt). Plenty of people act irrationally in stressful situations so I'm not gonna fault the movie for what some people might say is stupid or illogical behavior.
