I'm not saying this is what he had but damn don't be a dick and down vote everyone for sharing a theory.
He probably donned his shit when he knew he was going to be in a static position. Its not uncommon to take it off when your security is on top of you. Unless you have an unedited shot where you followed him all day maybe just consider it a possibility.
Also, the .2 inches is the titanium portion. Not the ceramic behind it as well. That is way bulkier than you think and we have not even mentioned the harness required to wear one. I have worn these. You look like a turtle in them.
"Titanium can also be used standalone as an ultra-low-profile Level IIIa/stab plate. In this role, it is substantially lighter than comparable steel “IIIa+” plates, and also offers much better protection than any soft anti-stab armor panel."
So basically how would you wear this? Let me explain. Not in a traditional plate carrier. It would be inside a vest (an armless underneath type) that is low profile hence the low profile nature of the plate itself. I hope this helps explain it better. Its not the armor itself at fault -- it did its job but it wasn't rated for that round.

Hey man I know what you mean about wearing armor but homie wasn't wearing level 4 armor. If you watch this video I posted the full video link - https://greatawakening.win/p/1AR0LV5m3N/charlie-kirk--what-really-happen/c/
From the manufacturer not my words:

I wear armor. He wasnt wearing armor. If he was, its was to stop maybe a .22. He was shot with a much much larger round.
Will the person who downvoted me come forward and share their experience with wearing body armor?
