Basic Necessities

I am saddened by the news that drug-enforcing officers were killed in a failed bust to a drug syndicate. It seems more depressing knowing that the lack of basic necessity a life-line such as a bullet-proof vest was not available. Condolence to the families affected is in order. Such requirements in a situation that befits a vest shouldn’t even be compromised. I feel that it shouldn’t even be a secondary feature but a primary feature. Hopefully, that this is a learning opportunity and all officers of any standings being either an officer or a commander will be issued a vest for daily operations.
