Do Police Officers Know About H.R. 3304?

Question

Ron Paul just introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that "would help cops obtain topnotch body armor that would withstand rounds fired from most firearms."

"For example, the American Federation of Police -- with well over 100,000 members -- recently praised Ron Paul for introducing a bill that would help cops obtain topnotch body armor that would withstand rounds fired from most firearms. Rep. Paul's bill -- HR 3304 -- would amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide for a tax credit to law enforcement officers who purchase their own body armor."

I assisted in rescuing many other people & , unlike so many of my fellow law enforcement men & women.....I was one of the lucky ones who made it home alive that day.-- I have related this information to demonstrate how hazardous Police Duty  can be.--BRAVO for Ron Paul for introducing this  important legislation.

Most politicains say they support the police or they support the troops, but when it comes to money for veterans, they don't support the troops at all!

Ron Paul is the only candidate I see who truly supports the police and the troops.

I'm all for protecting our police officers, don't get me wrong there, but shouldn't he be doing this for our guys (and gals) in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, et al too?  I mean, seriously, who has the greater need right now?

Protection from criminals would be very beneficial to the policemen who are exposed to hazard and Ron Paul was very excellent on addressing this aspect.

Never heard of this bill, but appreciate it. I buy my own vests to get better protection than the department issue allows. Actually, I take what the department pays and add to it to get the better vest.
