Tacoma police say last month’s 12-day anti-war protests cost the city an unbudgeted $500,000 to provide a large-scale law enforcement presence.
The rough estimate covers overtime, regular compensation, equipment and food for hundreds of workers from Tacoma police and other agencies. . . .
“That’s a tremendous hit on our budget—a half-million dollars of unexpected expense,” said Tacoma Mayor Bill Baarsma, adding that the military would get the first invoice.
Well of course the military should get the bill. That means less money for the baby killers to spend on their immoral, unjust, racist war of aggression (and for oil) in the middle east, right?
