Their Bulletproof Vests

You grow accustomed to the heavy NYC Police and US Army presence in Penn Station. The stun guns and M16s amidst rush hour crowds don’t bother me.

What bothers me are the bulletproof vests.

Targets wear bulletproof vests, not guardians of the peace. And if these heavily armed, trained gunmen see themselves as targets, what do they see me as, and whom are they really there to protect?

  1. This post makes absolutely no sense. Bullet proof vests are protection for these brave soles who are there to protect the public – and they should have the edge over anyone that they ever need to confront. Your trying to make something out of nothing.
