The short answer is the G4 summit.
The long answer has stuff about 4th amendment rights and peaceable assembly.
Hope I've helped.

I guess the "Don't tase me Bro!" plead never caught on...
...and I guess it's all speculation at this point. I can see upgrading to a newer model and Chicago Police has over 13,500 sworn officers so I guess it doesn't look like much when you view it from those numbers.
The curious part of this story is that there were so many ordered in a short time, for what?... is the part I am a tad curious about? Must just be a coincidence ...you think?
Taser International received several large orders at the end of 2011, among them one from the Chicago Police Department to upgrade its electric stun guns.
Scottsdale-based Taser (Nasdaq: TASR) received an order for 680 of its X2 stun guns and 4,900 cartridges from Chicago Police in the fourth quarter.
Taser’s X2 is a dual-shot stun gun that is close in size and shape to the company’s long-time X26 model. It has proved popular, and Taser has done trade-in offers for departments looking to upgrade.
The company also received an order for 170 X2s from the Lee County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department; 165 of the devices for the Sunrise Police Department in Florida, and another 155 for the Cary, N.C., Police Department. Another city the company declined to name ordered 250 X2s.

Well the G-8 Summit and Chicago makes sense from a preparedness standpoint, but what of Sunrise, FL, Cory, NC, and the other "un-named" city? I am not currently aware of any impending Social gatherings in the first two areas that would warrant such a surplus of tasers.
Mind you I haven't looked into it too deep, I just thought the abrupt ordering of these weapons was intriguing. More for the other areas than Chicago. Most likely just a coincidence though.

Those will be close to the cities that the political conventions are to be held. South Carolina for the Democrats and the Republicans in Florida.
