[@silverscout2643]

For the next Katrina, bulletproof vests for firefighters?

[@LoneTombolo]

silver scout actually bullet proof vests for firefighter and emergency medical services is more common then you think. It falls under our category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). As a first responder we are right there on the scene with the police staging whether it be an active shooter, or just a civil dispute. People forget to remember that criminals no matter what will get access to firearms and in turn will use them against anyone they feel is a threat to them in example a first responder. For the most part except for some states every single United States citizen can buy military grade body armor to protect themselves from active shooters. Only makes sense that the medics and firefighters staging on the same active shooter scene as the police get to wear bullet proof vests as they put their lives on the line to maybe be able to reach a mass casualty scenario and save all life possible. I believe the first responder in this video who say the intentions are for high winds as we know the faster an object is moving the more force it has hence the more penetration. That armored vehicle serves as a safe haven from 60mph debris as well as protection is active shooter scenarios. This is in no means a militarization rather a realization that today we need to implement protective countermeasures in order to ensure life of both parties. In this question are you saying first responders should not have the right to be protected from gunfire when trying to preserve life?

Are you saying they should be shot while trying to preserve life? Here’s some facts. Cops don’t get paid a livable wage for what work they do.
