Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), who is the wife of a first responder, slammed her husband's SWAT vest on the table as she began her speech on the House floor on Wednesday to speak out against the Democrat-led George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The measure, which passed the House by a vote of 220-212, would, in part, ban chokeholds and end qualified immunity, which protects officers from certain lawsuits.
"This the same vest that he wore for 14 hours while on a massive manhunt for a man who had just been released from prison who promptly raped and killed his girlfriend," Rep. Cammack said, pointing to her husband's SWAT vest.
This is just one of the dangerous scenes this vest and her husband have seen over the years. But she says that pales in comparison to what the Democrats have just passed.
"But the real threat here is not the dangerous situations my husband has seen in protecting his community...it is the fact this bill would take this vest off my husband's back," Cammack said. "What this bill does is take this kind of equipment off the backs of our men and women in uniform."

P.S. I searched and didn't see this take on this item.
Passage of this bill by either house is a disgrace and causes even more darkening of our new Dark Age.
And increases the possibility that folks need to go to condition “orange” at a minimum. .357 faster than a .911
Doesn’t she get it? It’s so that the street thugs will be able to hurt cops. dems are throwing cops to the wolves and are cheering on the wolves.
You are precisely correct.
Ah yeah, she gets it which is why she blasted them in her floor speech which was delivered very effectively.
The liberals scum commie rates dont care tho.
Unfortunately too many cops are willing stooges for the politicians. They obeyed what in my view was unConstitutional orders from the mayors of left-wing cities (Seattle, Portland, Chicago, DC, etc). They stood aside while innocent people were killed and private and public property destroyed. Trump voters were the biggest supporters of law enforcement, and for their efforts saw DC cops throw them to the Antifa mob, and the dirtiest cops - FBI - completely bastardize the rule of law.
Don’t police their rotten neighborhoods. I just don’t care what they do to each other any more.
Police used to say they went after the two sides in organized crime wars and gang wars only to protect the innocent people caught in the middle.
Now such people are unprotected.
