    The bullet proof vests really get me. They are so heavy and unlikely to be nessesary but some cops wear them ever day just to LARP.

      One could argue the vests are like seat belts in a car. You don’t need them 99.9% of the time.

        Ironic because it’s not unusual for cops to not wear seatbelts but they are more likely to die in a single vehicle accident than a gun fight.
