\n NYPD cops deployed to protests are suiting up in motocross gear they\u2019re calling \u201cturtle uniforms\u201d to protect against objects hurled at them as riots grip the city, a police source said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The elite crowd control bike cops began wearing the so-called Yaffa uniforms \u2014 which look plucked from the movie \u201cTron\u201d with a hard plastic shell and cushioning along the spine and elbows \u2014 Monday after officers were injured during protests, the source said.<\/p>\n

Designed based on BMX bike gear and hockey equipment, the Fox Racing brand jacket shields cops from objects hurled at speeds up to 40 mph along with falls and other injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was created so you don\u2019t break anything if you fall, or if you get with a projectile to absorb the blow,\u201d the police source said.<\/p>\n

Cops have nicknamed the gear \u201cTurtle Uniforms\u201d due to a tortoise-like protective plastic shell that runs along the back side of the jacket.<\/p>\n

The unorthodox uniform has already caused some confusion\u00a0 \u2014 on the first night of protests, patrol cops thought the crowd control officers were protestors and stopped them.<\/p>\n

The NYPD owns roughly 100 of the $160 suits along with helmets featuring jaw-protection devices. Officers were trained on how to use the uniform by Seattle cops, who face more riots, sources said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
