Why aren't you guys doing this already in the first place? Why is it necessary to sign a petition for this? Bunch of idiots. Planning on waiting until there's casualties? Stop it from happening before it happens.

They risk theirs to save yours, they deserve to be protected.

I'm not from Portland, but I still think having theses is crucial with the rise in cop killings, and shootings as well. First responders need all the help they can get.

I live in Las Vegas and in light of recent events this movement hits close to home. Please consider allowing EMS to wear these vests. If you look at the footage from the Vegas shooting, you can clearly see fire fighters wearing vests like these. It would ensure confidence and another level of PPE for first responders.

This is a no-brainer, give these guys body armour to keep them safe!

As a first responder who has seen scenes escalate after we thought it was contained, I'd like to know my EMS counterparts have the same protection as me. If you can get this done for the west coast, maybe my east coast will be treated similarly soon.

When someone's life may be at stake the last thing these guys should have to do is unnecessarily increase the risk of losing theirs to help.
