A very expensive protest. The city spent $93,500 U.S. dollars on police overtime, supplies and other costs for Tuesday’s massive, all-day protest and rally that drew 2,000 people to Old City Hall in Berkeley, California (USA). Crowds gather on Monday afternoon, so it was about a 36-hour event. CodePink and World Can’t Wait – Drive Out the Bush Regime and other anti-war groups are planning an all-day protest today at the center, 64 Shattuck Square. Officers made 4 arrests but spent much of their time doing crowd control. No one was seriously injured.
