Bullet resistant bras for German police. (Hey, quit laffing. This is serious stuff. Really. grins )
I guess it is serious but I can’t help smiling about it. There’s something about it that just tickles my funnybone. Can’t help it.
I must confess and hope Wardmom doesn’t flame me on this but.
There is something so ,,, I don’t know ,,,, unfeminine about all the lady cops I’ve ever seen. Even the pretty ones (lived acrss the street from one yrs ago) look like they have a rather large caboose. They appear clunky somehow. I know it’s just me and maybe my generation. They have every right to be whatever they wanna be. I’m simply saying that to me they look somehow,, odd. Don’t know how else to explain it and I really do not lack respect for cops. I just wish women would stop trying to be more like us. I don’t care for us very much but I like them a lot. Yeah, that’s sexist I guess. I always thought Navy Waves were really super looking. Maybe cause they didn’t carry a lot of gear on their hips. Don’t much like the idea of women aboard ship tho and damn glad my term of service was in 1960s.
German police women are to be issued with bullet-resistant bras to give them complete undercover protection.
Last Updated: 11:15AM BST 04 Aug 2008The new underwear was developed as a second barrier of defence after normal bras were found to cause injuries while on duty.
The officers’ bullet-proof vests, while stopping the force of gunshots in an attack, pushed the plastic and metal parts of their underwear into their flesh, causing injury.
Carmen Kibat, a policewoman in Hamburg who tested the new underwear, said: “These can save someone’s life so it’s not a laughing matter.” She organised “Action Brassiere” across Germany, getting hundreds of policewomen to try the bras out in the line of duty.
They are all emblazoned with the word “police” and made from cotton, polyester, elastic and some other synthetic materials, thickly padded and with no metal or plastic studs or fasteners.
Three thousand front-line women police officers will now be required to wear the bras on duty. Their bosses have decided to allow them to have three each.
Ruediger Carstens, a spokeswoman for the police, said: “This was pioneering work. The safety of our officers is paramount.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
