The biggest bite out of city coffers came from the Police Department, which reported spending $2 million to police the civil unrest, with most of the money paying for officer overtime.
The Sheriff's Department, which staffs the jails, reported $760,872 in extra costs. Public Works, which cleans the streets, said it had spent $194, 840 during the demonstrations that took place March 17 to 22.
The Municipal Railway, which operates the city's public transit service, lost an estimated $55,224 when the protesters and police blockades prevented drivers from making their regular runs. Almost $67,000 more was spent on overtime. |
no idea what these people did in their demonstration, but they certainly didnīt beg for being jailed. but anyway.
is this becoming another try to undermine the freedom to assemble? the more people participate the more expensive a demonstration is. is this a reason to forbid demonstrations ingeneral, or only the larger ones?

OBL was never trained or funded by the US. Mujaheddin groups in Afghanistan were, including Hekmatyar's, (there were 13 principle groups at various times), but OBL wasn't a recipient of US funds or training. He's never directly conducted a terrorist op anyway, he's just been a fund-raiser, guru and spokesman, all things he learned how to do in his early business career.
McVeigh was a Specialist-4 mechanized infantry grunt in the US Army, with no training in any type of explosives or special operations.
The Anthrax strains Saddam used were traced to a US strain cultured in labs since the 1950's, but that strain is available all over the world, in hundreds of research labs. There is no evidence whatsoever that the US is the party that transferred that Anthrax bacillum to Iraq. However, the US did provide raw take from KH-11 and KH-12 Intelsats and trained the Iraqis in doing BDA's (bomb damage assessments) which helped the Iraqis be more effective when they used nerve agents than they would have otherwise been. The US also diverted in excess of six billion dollars in bogus commerce and agriculture loan guarantees to help the Iraqis fight against Iran, although the Iraqis were in the right in that war.
There's lots of things to slam the US for, at least try to do so accurately, rather than parrot the knee-jerk accusations of the ignorant left.
