But since it is a fact that police officers are more likely to die in a car related situation, than gunshots, why don't the cops wear seat belts religiously? I can't tell you how often I glance at the cop car and see the seatbelt is not on. They spent millions of dollars on firearms, training, bullet proof this and that, armored cars, but don't even take the most basic precaution available to reduce or eliminate the automobile related deaths.
You could really reduce the struck by car category by putting them in the same OSHA approved safety equipment so drivers can SEE them and try and avoid them. Road work crews and people in industrial environments wear the stuff every day to try and reduce or eliminate accidents. Don't tell me it's not safe, the Police in Europe wear enough high visibility stuff to be seen from orbit, the British Police Cars are painted to be as visible as possible. Why not the American cops?
British Police Cars.
American cops would reject those because they're not sexy enough and everyone knows black tactical is the best way to avoid being seen, which increases the chances of being run the hell over.
