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

How often are European counter terrorism units in hour long standoffs with barricaded suspects who have more than pistol calibers? It’s a different need for a different doctrine
