I had to wear many things on my duty belt as well as on my ballistic vest carrier, it was all placed so it would be comfortable while driving and handy when I would need it, I guarantee if I was forced to seek mother earth for cover it would be uncomfortable and/or painful. Once was forced to take down an aggressive suspect and I landed on my portable radio, within an hour I could barely walk, was like a hip pointer. My take is he is not in combat per say but in a peacekeeper or riot control role with civilians, he would adjust if necessary.
