Ahh, the part that had me was that he chased them inside the station after they took his gun, I think I might have sought out cover but again, without knowing all the facts. Also as my wife has pointed out about retention holsters, we're not the only ones who know how they work, and just because it's retention doesn't mean someone close enough, with knowledge of how they work can't get your weapon. Obviously using a retention holster is a best practice, along with not letting someone get close enough to grab your sidearm. A back up would also be advised. I agree though, the victim is never at fault.
It is difficult for person B to remove a pistol from a retention holster worn on person A's belt, even if they know the trick to release the pistol. We've done some drills using my glock and a *gasp* serpa retention holster. Because the firearm has to be pulled straight up, it is nearly impossible for a person to walk up from behind, reach under your arm, and remove the pistol without a big struggle.
