Yes, it’s official. The Germans have lost the plot and issues every serving policewoman a bulletproof bra.
It’s a Wonderbra!
The bras are made of cotton or polyester and are padded. Unlike bullet-proof vests, they have no metal or plastic under-wire or fasteners that can pierce skin and injure the wearer when a bullet hit the body armor.
Sounds pretty soft… Well soft, at least. I’m afraid even Brashop, our very own bra superstore doesn’t cater for action dolls.
According the the Beeb, there are a couple of serious points behind this.
“The impact of a bullet can push the metal and plastic bits of the bra into an officer’s body, causing serious injury,” said Carmen Kibat, an adviser on equal opportunities for the Hamburg-based Bundespolizei – Germany’s federal police force.
