Family members of Uvalde school shooting victims also said they're filing lawsuits against dozens of Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Uvalde's school district.

    I agree otherwise, but the armor a cop wears on patrol is completely useless against even soft-core 5.56, you need plates

      Depends on the department but police vests being carriers with ceramic plates is far from uncommon these days. I know for a fact that’s the case for my local department.

          It’s part of why you’re seeing many departments move from internal (under the uniform) vests to external vests.

          It also helps get gear off their very heavy duty belts.
