there is no planet on which cop riot gear is that price.

pretty sure nitriles are more expensive too.

Nitrile ≠ Latex

An 89 dollar piece of plastic is not a riot shield .

FleetingTit ,

How expensive does a piece of plastic need to be before it becomes a riot shield?

TropicalDingdong ,

$1500

Think of it like DOD pricing but for local police departments. My broader point is that both sides of this graphic have massively underestimated the true costs of both professions, largely due to corporate profit inflation and captured markets.

I mean hell, you can’t even buy a decent bike helmet for $125, do you think they’ll send police out in something less worthy than that?
