Since before the Antifa mess started, police have been getting shot to death with increasing frequency. I have noticed that many have been shot multiple times, with some being able to obtain help and survive, while others are dead right there. Do police in general wear body armor, or do many either not have it due to budget constraints, or do they choose to leave it in the trunk? The local sheriffs office equips all uniformed members with level III vests. I have yet to see a deputy without his or her armor in place. State troopers either have some lightweight Kevlar, or don’t wear anything but the Charger they drive. The deaths that I have looked into have not been due to headshots, most have been single or multiple torso wounds. Most of these guys have been older, more experienced folks. I donated to city police when they asked for money to buy vests, and wondered if other departments were having the same money problems. After paying for 4 plates and a decent carrier, I can understand why many officers couldn’t afford to buy their own vests, but the return on investment could be immense. Lack of a vest with the random idiocy going on doesn’t sound like a good strategy for survival.
