It has come to our attention that the corporation, Motorola, has close ties to a police organization that is responsible for coordinating the recent crackdown on the Occupy Wall Street protests in various cities. The organization that is responsible for coordinating these attacks is PERF. PERF stands for Police Executive Research Forum:

The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) is a national membership organization of progressive police executives from the largest city, county and state law enforcement agencies. PERF is dedicated to improving policing and advancing professionalism through research and involvement in public policy debate. Incorporated in 1977, PERF’s primary sources of operating revenues are government grants and contracts, and partnerships with private foundations and other organizations.

We are proud of the service we provide to law enforcement stakeholders. Our research and publications are targeted in areas our members find important to their agencies and for professional development. Our conferences and training programs are targeted to audiences who want to be on the cutting edge of relevant policing topics. Our leadership is constantly looking for ways of improving our ability to meet your dynamic needs. You will find out more about what PERF is all about in this, our information section of our member network.

Recently it was revealed, by the San Francisco Bay Guardian (http://tinyurl.com/7qb8qe4) that PERF helped to synchronize the recent attacks on OWS protesters.

3. Sends jobs overseas, radios don't work in a pinch

Due to some republican contracting scam, their radios did not work on that September day in NYC that marks only one of the shrub's huge failures.

Plus did I mention they're in love with foreign workers and factories and R&D facilities in China?

7. as an individual

who is involved with fire and EMS and on staff at a EMS communications center I can tell you that what the OP is advocating is both a really bad idea and irrelavent to the problems we face these days.
