===Brink's robbery=== {{Main|Brink's robbery (1981)}} Some members remained underground and joined splinter radical groups. The U.S. government states that years after the dissolution of the Weather Underground, three former members, [[Kathy Boudin]], [[Judith Alice Clark]], and [[David Gilbert (activist)|David Gilbert]], joined the May 19 Communist Organization, and on October 20, 1981, in [[Nanuet]], New York, the group helped the [[Black Liberation Army]] [[Brink's robbery (1981)|rob a Brink's armored truck]] containing $1.6 million. The robbery resulted in a shootout and the deaths of Brink's Guard Peter Paige, Police Sergeant Edward O'Grady Jr., and Police Officer Waverly Brown, the first black police officer on the [[Nyack, New York|Nyack]] police force.{{sfn|Jacobs|1997}}{{Page needed|date=November 2024}} <ref>{{cite web|last1=Batson|first1=Bill|title=Nyack Sketch Log: The Brink's Robbery|url=http://www.nyacknewsandviews.com/2011/10/bb_brinksrobbery20111018/|website=nyacknewsandviews.com|date=October 19, 2021 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230604032832/https://nyacknewsandviews.com/blog/2021/10/bb_brinksrobbery20111018/|archive-date=2023-06-04|url-status=live}}</ref> <ref name="mark-gado">{{cite web|author=Mark Gado|title=The Agony of Parole|url=https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2100019/posts|publisher=TruTV.com|website=freerepublic.com|date=October 2008|archive-url=https://archive.today/20230604033002/https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2100019/posts|archive-date=2023-06-04|url-status=live}}</ref> <ref name="memorial-Grady">{{cite web| url=https://www.odmp.org/officer/10136-sergeant-edward-j-ogrady-jr|title=Sergeant Edward J.
