How about providing mobile bunkers? I am sure that would be really and truly helpful.

Authorities should provide you guys more safety than this. You guys are our guardian angel. We don’t want you people to get harmed due to insufficient safety measures and gears.

How sad, good time to pitch in mobile units with resting areas and bathroom areas for cops.

It would help a lot of lady cops to avoid Urine infection.
