@KingofVilla The mayor doesn't know if it was $25k or $40k, and no one can show the math on either number. I'm not with associated with the protesters at all, before somebody goes that route. The mayor isn't being honest with us.. I have no doubt the cost of policing yesterday and today far exceeds any phoney number the mayor has provided us with in relation to cost

I wonder how many of my tax dollars were spend by the city. What a waste.

Let them protest and occupy.

@yiduns No one prevented me from using the park. I wasn't harassed or assaulted while in the park and everyone seemed quite friendly. What did you experience?

@ldub902 More of your tax dollars were spent by having them there.
