Station3 doesn't wear his body armor on duty. All cops stop in here.

I dont know what the big deal is its my decision and i choose not to wear it. I accept the fact that i may get shot one day its part of the job if i did not want to be in any danger i would not be in this profession and i would be doing something else. Im quick with my gun and i live by it and maybe someday i will die by it if its my fait.

I don't think anybody gives a fuck if you don't care if you die, except for the fact that's completely and utterly 100% against the ONE motto that EVERY cop has, which is "go home at the end of your shift". If you want to die, that's fine and we're all sorry that you live such a pathetic life that you can't take precautions against losing it.


The reason WE care is because WE (collectively as law enforcment officers) are the ones that get stuck having to deal with the aftermath. The sadness, the possible PTSD, arranging funerals, carrying a casket, helping your family, having to remember you every day when we get in a patrol car.


What it comes down to is this; not wearing a vest is fucking SELFISH. You're not taking into consideration your community, your department, and certainly not your family. Fuck it if it's not comfortable to wear. If you want a comfortable job go work in an office somewhere. We take risks and put aside personal comfort in this job, if you can't hack it with the BARE MINIMUM SAFETY ITEMS, GTFO you fat fuck.


If you can't get any of that fact through your head that wearing a vest shouldn't just be about YOU, than you have little to no compassion and probably aren't a very good cop. I already know that you're out of shape so you don't take your job very seriously. It's further solidified that you're not compassionate enough to be a good cop if you can't take 2 seconds to put on a vest and bite the bullet for an 8-12 hour shift with it on.

It has nothing to do with me being selfish or dumb or out of shape its my fucking choice and its a decision that i make every day just like every other person like a fireman not wearing proper PPE for some bullshit fire alarm call or Medic taking BSI steps for some random bullshit medical call. I choose not to wear it for reasons that i think are right in my mind. I rather react faster and be more manuverable without my HUGE TACTICAL OUTER WEAR ISSUED VEST. Its a tactical decision that i make and NOBODY will change that decision. I refuse to wear a 7 year old worn out expired vest that has no velcro attached to it and its just a hassel since it keeps coming off every 5 min.

then buy a new vest. The only time I've heard of garza using his vest is the time that "they were shooting right outisde my house" and he "put the vest up against the wall and laid down on the floor so I wouldn't get shot".

And i called the sheriffs office but like usual HIDALGO COUNTY SO sucks ass and told me "We will send one when any come available"


It was my dumb ass drunk neighbor shooting at his tree again.

Unless he's violating some department policy that you MUST wear a vest (which I think is a good idea but that's besides the point), last time I checked the USA is a free country and this guy can do whatever he wants. The rest of you harassing him about it isn't going to change anything. Is not wearing a vest the smartest decision? Not in this day and age. But it's his choice so drop the drama already.

 

[Jasen Hatfield]

I work with guys who dont wear theirs, it is their choice, not mine. Its ironic to me how guys say they are uncomfortable, when i dont have mine on i feel uncomfortable. Dude it is ur choice if u wanna wear it or not, im sure u would wish u did if u had a 9mm round playing pinball in your chest cavity!

+1 by OP which is the only person who counts since nobodys bitching will make me EVER change my mind.

I wish you'd pick a reason and stick with it. You said the only reason you don't wear it is because its expired. You've also told me in the past you don't wear it because; its uncomfortable; you're too fat for it to fit (you told me that for realz); it won't stop rifle rounds and there's no.chance.you'll get shot with a handgun; nobody else wears them; it looks stupid;
