Make The In-Vest-Ment, Cheapskate!

Auxiliary police officers — the kind killed by douchebag filmmakers — are left unprotected because the NYPD sent all its old bulletproof vests to Haiti:

They asked for Mace. They didn’t get it.

They hoped to receive the NYPD’s old bulletproof vests after the department switched to new body armor last year. They didn’t — the vests were instead shipped to Haiti’s police officers.

Now, after two auxiliary police officers were gunned down and killed in the line of duty, members of the part-time, volunteer force are hoping the city will rethink its position and provide them with better protection.

“Right now, if you’ve got a friend in the precinct who wants to give you an old vest, that’s how it’s done,” said John Hyland, president of the 4,800-member Auxiliary Police Benevolent Association. “The NYPD doesn’t provide the equipment.”

Hyland said his organization objected when the Police Department shipped thousands of old vests to Haiti last year after it issued officers new body armor.
