Always watch your 6!

As summer is approaching and the crazies are coming out of hibernation I thought I would share this...


PS don't read the comments.. They are supportive of the officer, while at the same time degrading police...

One of the many reasons why you ALWAYS need to maintain awareness. That, and use some kind of hard-plate armor to stop knives and such. It's a little know fact that you CAN stab through kevlar armor, without a whole lot of trouble.

It's a little know fact that you CAN stab through kevlar armor, without a whole lot of trouble.

I don't think it's that little known, at least among people who wear it for a living. Soft allistic armor is designed to absorb high amounts of kinetic energy from a bullets. An edged weapon is relatively low energy, and not enough to "activate," for lack of a better term, the high tensile strength of the armor.


But I guess I don't know for sure. I would hope that there aren't cops out there that are walking around thinking that their vest will stop a knife wielding crazy, unless, as you said, they've got a plate of some kind in it.

When that bitch started going all Psycho swinging the knife and chasing the officer, I am surprised he used restraint and didn't shoot her. And I agree about not reading asinine comments in news stories, No matter what happened, it turns into a police bash. Nuts come out of the woodwork when they feel they can add their .02 cents via "keyboard courage".
