Germany Gets The Bullet-Proof Bra
GERMAN policewomen, and policemen, have tken delivery of a new bullett- proof bra:
It is being dubbed the new “bullet-proof bra”, a new kind of Wonderbra which could help protect thousands of women police officers here in Germany.
It may sound like a joke, but this is a serious matter - the policewoman who came up with the idea said normal bras can be dangerous when worn in combination with a bullet-proof vest.
“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.
“I always thought normal bras posed a safety risk and I wanted to change that,” she said.
“These new bras are very important and they will help all our women officers.”

Each German policewomen will get three of the bras.

I must admit that the majority of police women that I have encountered have not been the breasty kind! And especially in Germany!
No! I am not saying that they have too much testosterone!
There is nothing wrong with a woman who wants to tackle big men to the ground and kick fuck out of your car-tyres because the tread’s too good to be causing an offence - and they will never be able to afford the cars that you are driving ……
I have friend who is a police officer - and so is her girl-friend! lol
Except that lovely Helen Mirren and Angie Dickinson! lol

This has just sprung to mind. Can a female be disqualified from becoming a police officer if, although she is fit, has large breasts, that wouldn’t be protectable generally whilst performing he duties of a policewoman?

I thought it was the dum-dums that the bras were supposed to support….?
or maybe that’s just a colloquialism…..

Twin porticos?

You probably will be.
And I have worn a wide variety of bras, and conclude that the balcony style always attracts the most dum dums…

These new Gepanzertenkugelsicherepolizeibustenslingen may be comfy but can they stop dum-dums. We should be told
