When i was a kid we settled our arguments with our fists as a last resort. Not knives or guns or weapons.
When the pc brigade stop blaming everything else but the perpertraitors and the judges start puting away the scum of this country and the responsibility for their actions is put back on the parents (in the case of juvenilles) and the people who commit these crimes then we may stand a chance.
Otherwise we are screwed!

I'm presunming you're in the Police, you tend to be busier than us
I don't like the idea of wearing the stab vests constantly - may cause us problems carrying a patient down the stairs, for example?
Anyways aren't stab vests really slash proof, and not stab proof?
TBH our service are that skint that they would never afford them anyway.

A pain to wear as they push down on the eqiupment belt we wear, but better than getting a knife in the chest.

My mates jacket will stop a 9mm (.38) at close range, nothing bigger. What he does is wear it untill he's safe int he back of the locked ambulance than take the jacket off.
