Then give them helmets that hide their faces, and big boots and.......Lawgivers. |

You have a problem with gay cops? Tell one, but first ask why he/she carries that 18in-long club with the handle on the side. |

But Batman's suit didn't stop bullets! The bad guys just never were able to shoot him. |
|
| |
Maybe that was because they almost never used guns (umbrella-knives, exploding or bladed cards...) |

UnaBubba — Indeed. It is not for nothing the P-24 is
often referred to as the "E.F. Hutton". |

I think I rather prefer my police to be more P.C. Plod than Judge Dredd. I mean, perhaps if the portliness was instead emphasised - to a sumo wrestler level - the criminals would completely underestimate the absurd-looking cop and thereby unwittingly commit the sort of grevious errors of judgement that would lead to their capture (the method patented by Columbo as regards shabbiness rather than fat). |

He did get shot. I remember in one episode he came home from a night of dealing out justice and good old Alfred held up his costume and was looking trhough it. Alfred's balloon said - "Any Danger?" and Bruce Wayne said - "Not really, just some thugs." So it wasn't the costume per say, but the stuff he was wearing underneath. |

Double the cool factor by putting the cops in cool/fast looking cars (a la Mad Max)! Might make up for the low pay... |

Deity and barnzenen: He has been shot before. As he put it, 'you can't armor your head, so you put armor on your chest and stick a target <the Bat symbol> on it.'. |
|

Carried to an extreme with 'Robin, the Boy Target'...Hero: Wears dark grey and black and lurks in shadows. Sidekick: wears bright red, yellow and green. |
|

The origin of the chest armor is rooted in a story from the early 60s wherein Batman foils an assassination plot by appearing in a variant costume bearing an actual target in place of the bat symbol thus providing the sniper an irresistible mark of aim. |
|
| |
.mil The story was done better in Frank Miller's "The Dark
Knight Returns" in which Mr Wayne explains exactly why
he has the bright yellow insignia in the middle of his
otherwis stealthy costume. Any sniper worth his salt will
be aiming for the centre of the chest anyway. In
darkness the amateurs will have nowhere else to aim
properly. |

Sirrobin: I think that was the story I was referring to, but I couldn't remember. I liked that one, although it was really odd... |

[Guy Fox] "PC Plod" ...is that what you REALLY want? "Pardon me, lawfully challenged individual or group, but could you please cease and desist the actions you are taking? You are infringing upon the rights of others." Yes, that will stop the average, liquor-store robber in his tracks. |

Where's Judge Dredd: The Quickening? |

UnaBubba — P-24 is the designation of the police baton styled after the Okinawan tonfa. Investment company's TV ad slogan: "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen." |

In making the police look less like a sack of spuds, does this vest also have a corset? If it does then it's going to be much more profitable to sell it to middle age men with a bulge, or David Hasselhoff in a few years time. Also, policemen are never going to stop looking like plods until they cease to wear helmets shaped like tits with metal nipples on top. |

Yesterday my Girlfriends 18 year old son went to a Free Concert in Hollywood, CA. It never got underway as the gates were crashed twice and rioting broke out - The front man in the line of cops was standing 2 yards / metres away from the 18 year old and looking a bit nervous - despite all his riot gear: shield - face mask - kata baton, etc.. The kids were making fun of him since he was the shortest cop they'd ever seen and from the rear bottles came flying at the cop. The cop said "Move" to the 18 year old with whom I share my roof - he replied "OK Robot". As it turned out - a coworker of mine had gone to the same event and was within earshot of the verbal exchange - he was rehashing sights and sounds as well - I told him who that kid was - and he said to buy him a steak dinner . That was already in the plans anyway. Kid was my hero for a day. Everybody should be in a riot at least once. I remember mine. |

[TW], my experience with a riot was obviously less fun than yours. I just knocked a protestor with a placard arse-over-head with a well placed shoulder and kept walking. One of the cops looking on applauded as they had not yet had instructions to maim the protestors. 2 protestors then chased me until I slipped through the police cordon. |

Seems to me like policemen suffer from chronic over-seriousness. Perhaps if they were equipped with an immense pair of Bulletproof Breasts it would help them feel at one with Bipes Implumes, the ridiculous Featherless Biped. Since female coppers already have breasts, they could be equipped with immense Bulletproof Cods. |

There you have it. The Great Equalizer all the cops truly desire. Good Dog Ed.
Yeah Senor Bubba - that was the kids fun - My riot was a bit more involved - Meeeeeemmmmmmmorrrriiiiiiies. |
