They need the ballistic crotch panel to mitigate the exposure of their gunts. I get the feeling that most of these clowns are “true believers” who would never be considered seriously as forward facing street cops. Unfit, out of shape, older, lumps of fascist shit.
I mean at least as far as the feds go the vast majority of them *aren't* street cops and will be the first to admit it
For better or worse, that’s the problem. It’s going to cause more lethal ridiculousness like shooting at a car full of people OR have them continue to fuck up in public. Either action will erode support with the same citizens.
