Well someone has to protect them from the violent left-wing socialist anarchist called Occupy.

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"
