Yeah but it's improperly worn most of the time. Most of them have basic ass gun range beginner shooting stances that expose their unprotected sides to who they're facing (You're supposed aim with your chest square with the target when wearing armor)

Even with billions of dollars on hand they're still too cheap to get ++size armor and carriers for their extra big boys. Some of them are wearing plates that are pushed out to a 45 degree angle by their freakishly large beer bellies LMFAO Enjoy those copper jackets that'll lodge in your cerebellum after severing your carotid arteries you worthless Nazi fuck.
