Recently in Pierce County Wa, 4 officers in Lakewood and two in a rural Part of the county were attacked. They all had vests. The 4 in lakewood were killed. It appears all but one were neck/head shots. The other two, the same. One is on the mend, the other is very critical, and not improving. Yes, it changer the target area. Especially when the odds are overwhelming that they have vests.
