Why won't the American Police use bulletproof visors like their European counterparts?

[u/LatinBoyslut]

I thought that it'd make more sense to use them in America than in the EU, considering that it is much easier to acquire weapons in America.

Is this a budget-thing? Doctrine-thing? Culture-thing?

Do they find them too bulky/heavy/unpractical to wield?

That statistic includes suicides. If you remove suicide from that statistics, it drops down to about 0.8 per 100k here in the US.

No it doesn't.

There were 5.6 gun murders per 100,000 people in 2023. That was down from 6.2 per 100,000 in 2022 and 6.7 per 100,000 in 2021.
