Standoff, murder suspect had previous shootout with police

I thought you could wear the new class Bs in a court trial?

really does not matter what the policy says. I was in court the other day and saw numerous officers violating policy regarding being in plain clothes and having their gun on their hip. There were commanding officers there and no one said anything to them that their weapon was to be concealed. I know this is something small and can be rationalized, but if we can rationalize the small stuff we can do the same for violating any policy. Our department is going down hill fast. Yes I am pre-merger with over 17 years on so I have seen the good and bad from both sides.
