Marine Recruiting Protests Cost Berkeley PD $211K
/snip/
Kusmiss said the money to pay for the nearly $211,000 in police overtime costs will come from the city's general fund, not from the Police Department's budget.
Kusmiss said that in addition to police overtime costs, the city has other overtime costs associated with the protests for services by other departments.
She said the Public Health and Environmental Health departments both have had extra overtime costs, but she didn't have the specific numbers.
Berkley could save a lot of money by just stepping out of the way and letting the Marines take care of the problem themselves as they see fit.
Ping
Another confirmation that it would be prudent for the Berkeley City Council to rescind thier Jan 29 resolutions!
It kinda make you want to see more activities happening in Beserkeley. Each code pinko is costing the city thousands of dollars.
This may even qualify as a “Dog, meet your fleas” moment.
and if you think the cost of cops is something;
just ask the local businesses what they have lost...
If ya wanna get a Lefties’ attention, hit ‘em in the wallet!
They’ll scream like pigs every time...
Send the bill to “Code Pink”.
Other cities that have been caught spending huge sums for police prescence at demostrations have made new in sending the bill to the agitators involved. They should do it and let it go through the court system for publicity and warning to all agitator groups. It will then stop.
I like how they total patriots and traitors into one lump sum. Must mean the America haters were outnumbered.
Send him the bill.
Her—Medea Benjamin..
Wanna bet these same bozos wanting the military out of their town were protesting because the National Guard wasn’t in New Orleans sooner. Some folks only get up in the morning to see what they can whine about that day.
Well, haven’t seen a picture to verify that yet. Of course with these it sometimes takes a DNA test.
Send the bill to Code Pink.
Are you kidding? These Chardonnay swilling, Tofu munching leftist loonies” on the city council waved all of Code Pinko’s protest fees. IOW the City Council put CP up to this.
I say let ‘em eat it and when they go broke they can work for free(like that will ever happen).
The tournament is scheduled for Sept. 22.
Reminds me of a friend of mine who has always said:
"Pigs are in the Parlor with the money's green."
Ain't that the truth!
Most Excellent...
I have no problem with the moonbats of Berkely bankrupting themselves.
Acting like morons seems to have a real world cost.
“I say let ‘em eat it and when they go broke they can work for free(like that will ever happen).”
Yes, and I hope they KEEP RIGHT ON eating it too!
Until they remove their favoritism from the pinko’s they should have to pay and pay and pay for their decision.
mmmkay... the picture I pasted over from the article has since been removed. Sorry to everyone.
There are countless pics of Medea Benjamin on Google Image Results.
Medea gives all of us born in 1952 a bad rep!
