Policewomen Get Bulletproof Bras

Arrest me! ARREST ME!
How exactly do they test their effectiveness?
BERLIN - Thousands of German policewomen will receive what media have labeled “bullet-proof bras.”
Made of white cotton and featuring the word “Polizei” (Police) along the seam, the bras are meant to better protect police women who wear bullet-proof vests.
And Lord knows we wouldn’t want anything to happen to the female officers’ . . . Well, I’ve said too much.
“There was a slight safety risk for women wearing normal bras with metal parts underneath a bullet-proof vest,” a police spokesman in the northern city of Hanover said.
And this detective is always available to perform immediate first aid if such an instance should occur. I’m just sayin’.
“If the vest is hit by a projectile, this can have an impact on the metal bit in the bra underneath and cause injuries.” (H/T - )
Okay, I’m about out of snarky jokes on this subject, so I will open the floor to my good readers.

I actually heard that there have been cases were a bullets impact had broken off a metal hook from a woman’s bra, under her vest, and sent it flying through her body causing life threatening wounds.
It is a funny piece of safety equipment from my perspective, and I have had fun laughing at it, but it may not be a bad thing. Boobs should aways be protected.
I also heard the Germans are mandating that these bras be worn. I wonder who will do the inspections.

I assume you have already put in your application to be an inspector once they require those to be worn here in the States?

Reminds me of a story way back when a Fire Dept. official stated that one of their female fire-fighters suffered injuries when responding to a blaze because her nylon panties melted and stuck to her, er…mommy parts.
New Dept policy? Stick with cotton next to your no-no place.
