Finally, at least one side of the political spectrum is getting serious about fiscal responsibility….
$2 Million Spent on Police Overtime for Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street protests have cost the city a whopping $2 million in police overtime since the demonstrations began nearly three weeks ago, according to NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

With a little luck the protests will grow and we can get that up to a million per week. Wouldn’t that be spiffy?
Also this….

Kelly said, the protesters linked arms, tossed bottles of liquid at the officers and charged barricades that had been set up.

“They actually had a countdown: 10, 9, 8 , 7, 6. They joined arms and they charged the police,” he said. “They attacked the police.”

Stunning video posted on YouTube shows NYPD supervisors beating back the protesters with batons.

“They’re going to be met with force when they do that,” Kelly said. “That is just common sense.”

“Physical force is going to be used. This is something this core group obviously wanted to have
happen.”

Power to the people!
