Way to go Staff Sergeant Peoples! He set an example for his kids that day that they will never forget. A true hero at home as well as abroad.

If I were in his chain of command, I'd be pushing for a
Soldier's Medal.
He deserves it.

Based on the Oklahoma pharmacy incident, I wonder how many years Sergeant Peeples can expect to do in prison?

Saw him on Fox, he’s very photogenic and comfortable on camera.
In a just world Hollywood would star him as a hero in action movies.

Sergeant Peeple’s didn’t kill the suspect, so probably none.
Were you looking forward to the opportunity of sending a black man to prison? Just asking.

when he got out of the vehicle he put the gun in my face and told me he was going to shoot me. I took the weapon away from him, took the bag of money away from him, put him on the ground, and the deputies showed up, says Peoples. Never bring a gun to a fight with an Army soldier.

To: Tex-Con-Man
Because it was obvious that he was pissed that there are legal limits of what you can do to criminals and so I figured he simply wanted to ensure some black man paid for the crime of robbing the pharmacist.
It just seems fair.

Were you looking forward to the opportunity to be a race baiting liberal troll? Just asking.

I’m not a liberal, but I’m not a neantherdal either.

The pharmacist got a raw deal...what does race have to do with it?
You seem to be the one who introduced that into the equation.

Didn’t know he was black, Mr. Racist. Enjoy your short stay here.

If I were in his chain of command, I'd be pushing for a Soldier's Medal. Not a bad idea. We often say of someone who stopped a violent crime that "they ought to hang a medal on him". Here's an opportunity to actually do it.
Well done, SSG Peoples!

Here's a bit more from a followup story:
Peoples used his car to block Rogers from leaving the bank in his vehicle. That's when Rogers exited his car and allegedly pointed the gun in Peoples face. Peoples then used a takedown maneuver he learned in basic training.
The suspect's weapon turned out to be an authentic-looking replica of a handgun.
Peoples says the incident was nothing compared to his time fighting in Iraq. It was a piece of cake. I still got that adrenaline rush. After the adrenaline leaves you, you shake a little bit, but it was nothing like some of the attacks I've gone through. It was one guy. I think it was a little unfair
he should have brought a partner.
Sheriff Knight says anyone without law enforcement or military training should not attempt what Peoples did.
