"...the commentator..." Disregard anything said by any media hack. Very few of 'em know a pellet gun from a bazooka.
Anybody with a handgun facing anybody rifle is fornicated. If the guy with the rifle is wearing body armour, the guy with the handgun didn't get dinner or sweet talk either.
Most good body armour, including soft armour, will defeat a 12 gauge slug. The slug will not, I say again, not take anything nor anybody off his feet. It'll kill if it penetrates, yes, but it will not knock anything down just by hitting. It's called physics.
However, even the best soft body armour will not even slow down a rifle bullet. That's not what it's for. Even the vests worn by the military will not stop a rifle bullet. They're purpose is to stop fragments from grenades and some arty rounds.
Cops, everywhere, are out gunned because criminals are not hampered by political decisions or any law. In the case of the "North Hollywood Shootout", the criminals were highly organized. Mind you, they seemed to have forgotten about organizing their escape.
