The "acting mayor" scolds the Marshal and says his job is in jeopardy. The US Marshals service reports to the US Department of Justice, not the local mayor.
At the state and local levels, the term marshal is also used to describe police officers whose job is similar to that of a constable or sheriff. It can also denote the head of a city police or fire department.

US Marshals are not the main police force for small towns. When the "Mayor" stated that the marshal would be discussed at the next town supervisors (town magistrates in Kentucky) - it holds no weight. US Marshals are deployed wherever the Federal government needs them.
The Town Marshal is the chief police officer of the town and has the powers of other law enforcement officers in executing the orders of the Town Council and enforcing laws.

When they are robbing the armored truck there is nothing blocking the truck especially from backing up. He could have backed up or possibly gone forward as well. The robbers already killed his partner. He is in a bullet proof tank. Why wouldn't the driver just take off even if he has to run over the thieves that just killed his partner? Why would he just sit there and allow them to put explosives on the back door? There was nothing disabling the truck from driving.
