Many are clamoring for law enforcement officers to work without wearing soft body armor, and of course the Left are behind the outcry against law enforcement.

I do have my views on police today overusing swat type tactics rather than ‘protect and serve’.

However, it is insane to ask officers to operate unprotected.

The bottom line today is that many veteran officers are just punching their time cards and waiting for the day that they can get out of policing. Many have found that the best survival technique today is to ‘wear blinders’, especially in the high-crime areas, with the philosophy -”let them kill each other”.

I don’t mind if cops wear body armor.
I do want to limit them to the same weapons (and magazine sizes) that civilians are limited to.
And I want every last one to wear a go-cam and have a camera looking out the front of their vehicle.

Who is clamoring for law enforcement officers to work without wearing soft body armor?
