I thought requiring a vest was already SOP for virtually all police forces in the country.

Someone should have told the FBI idiots who went up against Platt and Mattix in 1986 in Miami. Well, the FBI idiots who actually responded to the call.

Yeah, but I thought since Miami most police forces required vests. But wasn’t the bad guy shooting a rifle anyway? Vests don’t do jack against rifle rounds.

The FIB's made a lot of mistakes during the Platt/Mattix thing. Lack of vests were the least of their problems.

I've done business with them. Their stuff arrives on time and as advertised.
