    Great news!



    The perp looks great in orange - may he wear it for a very long time..... if he is guilty.

    Wow - that WAS a good tackle - good thing the thief had to come back to the door. Thanks for posting!

    Please forgive us we were wrong in doing so, in your honor I will wear and orange and pink polo tomorrow.

    What a 'textbook' tackle by a well trained security guard. Awesome.

    So glad to see the dealer get his material back. Nice to see a happy ending once in awhile!

    Nice take-down! I have visions of "Terry Tate - Office Linebacker" taking out "violators" in the office.

    Thanks for the post, Charmy...and don't fret, I didn't even notice that the perp was black.

    I recognize that guy from PPI; I've seen him at multiple coin shows. He is a real nice guy (if you are not a thief), but not someone to mess with. Good to see he has quick feet and a good mind and acted decisively at the appropriate moment, causing a minimum of fuss. He also subdued the suspect without using unnecessary force, in my opinion. Makes me further respect the PPI folks.

    I'm surprised the thieves didn't off-load their prior haul before hitting the next show. Always a chance you'll get caught, so best not to have all that other incriminating evidence on you!................But what do I know...... ;-o

    he wore orange probably so his accomplice could find him easily in the crowd, obviously ... that plan had its drawbacks

    once trump is elected, hopefully people will no longer be bullied into political correctedness. imagine living in a world where no one is forced to be a closet racist, say what you want about any other race, exorcise your right of free speech

    Well, that video made the local news here in LA last night. It had action.....so the TV news was interested, of course!



    No "real" facts added beyond the video, and what is in this thread. (That would have been too much work).

    Is this the same officer that is at the Baltimore shows? Quite impressive!
