There is no valid reason for these brave workers to not get the safety equipment they believe they need.

If you're worried about looking like cops then make sure the color doesn't match the local police colors. Our larger EMS staff use gunmetal grey for their uniform.

Las Vegas just happened and I don't think that this is the last time this will happen so you guys need all the protection you can get. Now go save some lives.

With the amount of guns in america, it seems insane that this isn't a;ready a thing. If these are the people we expect to run towards the gunfire, let's give the, some safety.

It's absurd to not allow first responders to wear the proper safety gear when needed.

This seems like a no brainer for paramedics working in a increasingly unsafe area. Come on guys get off your ass and protect the people who want to save lives.

Keeping our first responders safe should be a baseline goal, not even one in need of a petition. If our first responders are involved in situations where body armor is needed, it should be provided accordingly.

If you want to look at the financial side of this, one vest is cheaper to buy than the replacement Medic that wasn't wearing one. it is sad that the day has come that the help has to wear body armor but certain people cant value life when it is the life trying to help them.
