Hmmm. Riot gear.. Hmmm... Perhaps its for the prison guards... Hmmm. 50 each.. Hmmm.
Glad to see
the quantity requested is only 50 each versus 200,000 each. Whew!
what's it for?
Is it for overseas, or for home?
I think the fact that we've been in a way for several years now, and there hasn't been any sights of military engaging in riot control, that it's pretty safe to assume it is for home. The threats the military faces overseas does not come from rocks, sticks, or other things that could be thrown requiring protection from blunt force strikes. They need bulletproof stuff overseas.
How long until the federal storm troopers are locked arm in arm with the state/local storm troopers shooting rubber bullets, tossing tear gas at american citizens?
