Pittbsurgh PD Officer shot in vest
"Pittsburgh police are breathing a sigh of relief after an officer shot early this morning escaped virtually unscathed, thanks to a bulletproof vest.
The officer, Andrew Baker, was hit during an exchange of gunfire with a man in Stanton Heights, the same neighborhood where three officers were killed in 2009"

Make sure you wear your vest.!!!A monday morning lunatic, disturbed from time to time. Temporary catatonic madman on occasion..
Lightning crashes a new mother cries, her placenta falls to the floor. The angel opens her eyes,the confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door..
The views and comments of E-man are mine and mine alone and therefore might not reflect the views of others or people in my current department. As such since this is still America I can post what I want without fear of retribution. I think.
RIP Eric

ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR A STORY OF THE GOOD GUYS GOING HOME AND THE BAD GUY GOING TO HOSPITAL, RIGHT BEFORE HIS TRIP TO JAIL.
the sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.

Update on this story. Dirtbag threatened his wife and 1y.o. baby and she convinced him to leave, he said he's going to shoot a cop...He did, Officer Baker was first to encounter dirtbag and was shot at 4 times still seated in his patrol car. 1 round hit the top of his vest. He got out and shot back!!!

Sure wish these article would read more like this...
Just my opinion. Excellent news though."Pittsburgh police are breathing a sigh of relief after an officer shot early this morning escaped virtually unscathed, it was not reported whether the officer was wearing his vest.Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Giving Officer Baker a Monday morning salute. (it only sounds bad because of Monday) Warriors wear their vests and live to fight on as he did.
Very well done, thank you.
