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.

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.

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.

I saw this man on TV this morning. I think I’m in love.
Wow, he was awesome. It was a joy to hear him describe what happened after he got his kids safely under the furniture and out of harm’s way.

Not to split hairs, but the headline is incorrect. Staff Sergeant Peoples is not an officer.

Glad most perps don’t know you should never get so close to someone as to be disarmed.

And that's when Peoples says instinct took over.
Actually, that's when training took over. What kind of training? Aaaaarrmy training, sir.

Would be very nice if Bank of America gave Staff Sergeant Eddie Peoples or his children’s college fund a nice CD worth a thousand or three. But I don’t expect them to do squat for him other than saying thank you
