That one SWAT officer must have legs of steel! He don't need no damn pants.

[@rico76]

Was probably at home when call came in. Putting cool pants on and boots/other gear takes too long when seconds count. Always keep a ready to go tac vest with armor plates and essential gear/weapons ready to go(civilians especially). Ballistic helmet too, but most for civilians they are cost prohibitive and take too many seconds to deploy properly during an emergency. Bad guys don't call ahead so you can get ready at your leisure, unfortunately.

@carloss Loss I have no idea what idiot would question why police need those. They don't just mess with random bumpkins that wave around an ak. They deal with riots, looters, gangs, All kinds of things. That's a lot of guns to deal with. And if it's an organized group or somewhat organized. It becomes a lot more difficult and the gun calibers are a lot higher then handguns now. Possible military grade weapons. Especially if the killer in question could be ex military.

I don’t think you understand the severity of the situation, it’s a officer down situation which means he is most likely killed or seriously injured.

The entire damn county was on lockdown, SWAT, Police, FD. It’s very unfortunate, and a very unforgiving situation.
