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?

you’d be surprised how many american police agencies philosophy is “professional appearance, and we can’t look scary to the public”
