I don’t want my tax dollars spent protecting republicans. maybe if they’d let some of my tax dollars get spent on fucking buses or trains or something I might not care as much that the police force I help pay for is off in another city protecting their stupid asses.

It wasn’t just Minneapolis police sho were brought in to St. Paul. I talked with a couple of officers sitting in St. Paul squad cars who told me they were from Philadelphia.

From the Wall Street Journal:
“The federal government provided grants of $50 million to cover security costs at each national party convention; more than 3,500 officers from more than 50 federal, state and local agencies, including the National Guard, have been on duty in St. Paul.”

I’m just saying that its not that clear cut.
