While this was a problem that might have solved itself if left alone, I think it's best that they were stopped so no nearby innocents got hit.

Honestly the most likely charges here are operating a firearm while intoxicated? Let boys be boys coppers.

Odds are they werent involved in the equipment selection

No shit, I knew some guys who actually did this. One of them is dead by suicide, no surprise.

"Ah. The old bulletproof cop gag. Back in my days we used to haze the rookies the same way. But we also used blanks!"

Honestly reading the story, and I'm no lawyer ya see, but it seems like the guy first shooting the other guy to try out the vest seems... dumb but legal? But then getting mad when your friend does exactly what you asked for and firing a bunch of rounds into his back after his friend put the vest on seems... dumber but quasi-illegal?

I guess I just generally feel like if two hillbillies want to test out a bulletproof vest, and they both consent, and no one else is in danger, then why should it be illegal? Lord knows being dumb isn't illegal, otherwise half the country would be in jail.

This is illegal? Well there goes my weekend. Thanks OBAMA.
