What If The Anti-War Left Held A Protest And Nobody Came?
This is funny…or it would be were taxpayers not getting stuck with a bill for tens of thousands of dollars for nothing.
October 28, 2006 - Hundreds of police officers showed up to keep the peace at what was supposed to be an anti-war rally Saturday afternoon. Police are now calling it a waste of resources after the protesters did not show.
It’s a mix up that will cost tax payers tens of thousands of dollars. The anti-war demonstration at Washington Square was supposed to start at noon and the Chicago Police Department was ready. But the protesters were a no show, and police say it was a big waste of time and money.
They waited patiently on foot, on bike and in the streets. Hundreds of Chicago police officers were ready to make sure Saturday’s anti-war demonstration stayed peaceful. Their job was easier than expected—because no one showed up.
“We prepared a response to ensure that they would have a safe, orderly march, behind that and unfortunately what happens was this group cancelled their march without informing the Chicago Police Department,” said Deputy Superintendent Charles Williams, Chicago Police Department.
Anyone else thinking the moonbats who organized this protest should also foot the bill for all the cops who showed up for nothing?
