The National Rifle Association's annual convention last weekend cost Dallas police $575,000, the city manager said on Thursday.
The NRA spent $150,000 on 400 off-duty officers who patrolled the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and its perimeter starting last Thursday through Sunday.
Dallas' $575,000 bill includes security and traffic control for rallies, protests and President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence's visit to Dallas to speak at the convention, City Manager T.C. Broadnax said.

Sounds like they could have saved a couple of bucks not supporting the protests. And, I guess Naheed missed the $24 million in revenue for local businesses? How much of the taxes on that went back in the city coffers. I think $575K sounds like a bargain.

Antifa and college snowflakes proved any conservative speaker causes violence and turmoil and costs too much for security so conservatives are banned from expressing themselves.
There. That was easy.

Just like his Hawaii vacations, where they probably had to take at least 2 dozen Secret Service each time.

That is does. The NRA paid for its own security. It is the left who caused the additional costs to the city.

At least there were no wrecks like there was every time Biden went out.

They could have taken the profit from Hillary’s uranium deal with the Russians and paid for it all.

Perhaps my memory is failing me.
I don't recall the media providing an accounting, in dollars and cents, of the costs incurred by a city that hosts conventions of the NAACP, NOW, CAIR, DNC, etc.

Someone is lying. The figure went up by $200,000 in the last two days.

When it comes to keeping the First Family safe, few would dispute that it is worth paying a high price to keep the President safe from harm. Certainly, not all presidents!
Are we better off today than we were in Nov 2008?
