In this image it truly appears he has no vest on, perhaps he had a plate in front? Who knows however there are pictures from a number of angles where his nipples are protruding from his shirt. That is not an insult and I’m disgusted by his death, I don’t know that many vests would have a nipple protrusion as part of it albeit that is not a bad idea AT ALL to cause an attacker to think the individual is unarmored.
picture of rear shirtfront view of shirt/chest protruding slightly
That is a lapel mic also called a lavalier mic that is clipped to his shirt. The connection from the top of the mic to the receiver/extension cable is what you're seeing. Trust me I've put them on people before. He probably taped it off on to his plate so it wouldnt shift around. Yes he has a mic in hand but this was probably a security comm link or for someone recording wanting to get dual audio for better sound. Not unusual. If you look at your photo you provided you'll clearly see one bump not two.
Ok so there is a picture of both nipples protruding is the mic ran horizontally?
I beleive he had a contoured titanium plate on and NO rear plate after watching better footage.
I beleive the ricochet theory based on the size of entry wound and activity of the shirt
So what he was wearing and what the guy was showing in the video looked like a titanium plate. Any type of metal steel or titanium creates ricochet. This is very dangerous. Even if the round impacts 90 degrees dead center the bullet will send spall all over. If you wear metal armor you have to have a kevlar sleeve to stop the ricochet and spall.
He should have had protection guarding the neck if he did have a plate, there are many designs that would work. I dearly hope in the future there is an easier solution for security for public speakers.
Huge 20 foot bullet proof shield like 7 foot tall directly in front of where they will be walking?
Just on the one side. Ideally some in every side but it’s a start
There's compromises for stealth and keeping concealment. The plate he had on probably would not have stopped a direct hit either even if the ammo was a soft point 3006. It was solid metal and the speed of a 162 grain bullet flying at over 2800 fps would send a round straight through that plate. In this instance he may have been better off not wearing any plates at all unfortunately.
So his body armor allowed his nipples and back muscles to protrude???? Wtf hahaha
Perhaps you can enlighten us all to what happened?

Simple. He wasn't wearing armor.

A guy or two on the highest rooftop(s) with binoculars and radios, would have stopped it too, my guess.
Drone scanning roof tops and crowd. Bullet proof glass shield front & side too.
