Well someone has to protect them from the violent left-wing socialist
anarchist called Occupy.
>From RT <http://rt.com/usa/news/dhs-unrest-gear-283/>:
The Department of Homeland Security has ordered masses of riot gear
equipment to prepare for potential significant domestic riots at the
Republican National Convention, Democratic National Convention and next
year’s presidential inauguration.
The DHS submitted a rushed solicitation to the Federal Business
Opportunities site on Wednesday, which is a portal for Federal government
procurement requisitions over $25,000. The request gave the potential
suppliers only one day to submit their proposals and a 15-day delivery
requirement to Alexandria, Virginia.
As the brief explains, *“the objective of this effort is to procure riot
gear to prepare for the 2012 Democratic and Republican National
Conventions, the 2013 Presidential Inauguration and other future similar
activities.”*
The total amount ordered is about 150 sets of riot helmets, thigh and groin
protectors, hard-shell shin guards and other riot gear.
Specifically, DHS is looking to obtain:
- *“147 riot helmets”* with *“adjustable tactical face shield with liquid
seal”*
-* “147 sets of upper body and shoulder protection”*
- *“152 sets of thigh and groin protection”*
- *“147 hard-shell shin guards”* with* “substantial protection from flying
debris, non-ballistic weapons, and blows to the leg”* and *“optimized
protective design for severe riot control or tactical situations.”*
- *“156 forearm protectors”*
- *“147 pairs of tactical gloves”*
