My family and I visit Portland often. I hear about violence daily, actual gang related shootings stabbings, but Portland doesn't want to admit they have a real problem. Police are simply overwhelmed and spread thin. Our men and women who are first responders deserve to be safe especially when police are unavailable for support during any call. These first responders are moms and dads brothers and sisters. We all depend on them in our greatest time of need, the least we could do is ask that they have the option to be safe while at work, and return to their families and homes.

So what's the problem? It's not ILLEGAL for paramedics to wear protective armour; many ambulance crews in the UK already wear anti-stab vests. It ought to be an OSHA requirement!!

All first responders should be allowed to keep themselves as safe as possible when entering into these emergency situations.
