Police bulletproof vest or ballistic vest and all items attached to said vest

Hey, we're back again. As promised, I still got my duty gear on the bottom. I went out, grabbed my vest. So I'm going to go over the vest. I figured it'd be helpful if I had this on too. Oh, plus it looks cooler. Put the whole outfit together. So this is a typical vest. They are very heavy. This thing shoots to nuts right now. Probably weighs like 30 pounds. So when you see guys wearing these, just know it's not comfortable. And know that they want to get them off their body as soon as possible. So you see how I put it on? It's just like putting on a regular vest. There's a little pocket right here. This little piece, I'm going to slide it into that pocket. This piece I'm going to pull down is going to velcro up here. I'm going to pull this together. And just like a regular zipper down here, everything in the cop world zips. I don't know why. Because you got to get on it quicker. That's why. All right. So here we go. This is the whole deal. Zip that up because it looks like shiza. All right. Much better. Much better. Let me zip that up. I'm just going to pick a soup sandwich. All right. Start going through this bad boy. As you can see, there's a lot of crap on here. A lot of gear. It's my cool badge. Work hard to get a gold badge. God knows I deserve it. All right. So I'm going to start going through this. It's my name plate. My taser. Okay. See these on TV. This is like the oldest taser known to man. But let me tell you something. The thing with taser is they made this product so good. We've had them for so long and it's like a bulletproof product. But we do have new ones coming. So taser if you're watching this, we bought the new ones. This is an x26. I don't even think they'll service this anything anymore. Taser comes in two pieces. It's actually three pieces because we got the power. I'm a taser instructor too. So this comes off like this. This is the business part of the taser. Inside those, those are called blast doors. There's two barbs. They fire out at 290 feet per second. Stick into whatever, your skin, your clothes. They'll have 50,000 volts. That is what they call NMI neuromuscular, whatever, incapacitation. And what it causes is every muscle in your body just flexes. So if you ever been tased like this guy, it's like a full body workout. You get zapped for five seconds. The ---- part about it is you think, so the whole time your brain is still working and you're like, this really sucks. And you're counting down five, four, three until it's over. Just been there, done that. Didn't get a t-shirt. So taser, like I said, a couple pieces. This is your, this is your cartridge that contains the barbs, blast door and all the business. This is a power pack is what they call this. Your power pack is literally, it's like your magazine. It's just a lithium ion battery. Sorry, my voice is changing. I'm going through puberty. So once that's in, if you look at the taser, it's a little switch right here. That's your safety. So if I do this, check it out. It is on. I don't know if you're picking up the red dot. The camera picks up. I don't know if I just destroyed my camera doing that. Okay. So there's the laser and the flashlight. So when you flip this thing on, those two things turn on and you know, it's go time, right? Pointing this at me is no threat to me because right now it does not have the cartridge. If I pulled the trigger, the only thing it's going to do is you're going to see an electrical arc. That arc is going to go from these two points. The smell I go zone after nothing dangerous. Stand by. I'm about to do it. If you wanted to, you could drive it into somebody. It's called the drive stone. That is not recommended anymore. Why? Because it hurts. You don't get compliance. It's just to torture somebody. So you don't see many cops doing that anymore because it's not recommended. So that's the taser. I'll put my cartridge back on. Notice I'm not putting my fingers or anything in front of those blast doors because if those, this thing happens to go off and I shoot myself, I'm going to fall down on the concrete and it's not going to be good. So I'm holstering this, putting the business end in the holster. Now it's safe. If this thing goes off, nothing's going to happen. Now it's locked back in. Let's keep moving to the left. Handcuffs. I'm a captain, so I never use them. Just kidding. They only come up on rare occasions. These are peerless. See, I've only got my name engraved on them. And let me tell you why. I've been a cop for almost 23 years. I can leave a $20 bill on my wallet in the police station. It won't get stolen. No one will touch it. They'll probably move it all around and say, hey, cap your wallet. It's 20 bucks. I don't know who it belongs to. But if I leave a handcuff, a pair of handcuffs out that's not engraved, they're gone. Nothing against cops. We just like taking gear. Move back over to the other side. Well, no, stay on this left side. This is the most important part of my uniform. And this is the thing I use most. I use my pen. And inside here is always my notebook. These are the two things, and cops always hate it when you're going through gear. These are the two things you're going to use the most, is your pen and your notebook. Inside there, you're going to have your business cards. And I got a little money in case I want something to eat. But any good cop will tell you that that's pretty much the most used piece of equipment. Let's move over to this side. Got my name tag. Right here, I carry a knife. All rusted. It's a nice little knife. It's very, very sharp. People say, why do you carry that? I'm obviously not going to use it offensively. Well, I've been in a few rollover accidents where someone's trapped in there, and they're screaming, get me out, get me out. And there's a lap belt cutting right across their neck. That's what you use this for. And you get them out. Or utilitarian, you always need it for something. And it's a cop knife. So if it gets scuffed, ruined, I just get another one. It's just the cost of doing business. This right here is my radio. Let me turn it on. It is real. I'm an active duty cop, so I'm not going to mess with this, because this will go out to dispatch, and I'll get in trouble. So radio went through there. So this is it. I mean, you're looking at pretty much the whole setup minus the uniform. And a lot of this stuff used to be down here on the hips, and it's kind of moved forward. It's migrated up this way north. And there's been a couple reasons for that. Back pain is kind of the main reason, because people figured out when you had 30 pounds on your hips for 20, 30 years, it was not good for the human body. And also, we have a lot of new officers that like the way that this looks. If you notice, traditional law enforcement has gone away from that old uniform and transitioned to a BDU style with a MOLLE gear outer carrier. So that's just the way the tide's rolling in law enforcement. And obviously, I've had to adapt. I started in a totally different uniform. So this is typically what it looks like when you hit the street minus the gear and the patches. I hope people enjoy this. I'm going to keep pumping them up. All right. See you soon.
