$2.6 million.
...is roughly how much the DC Police spent to protect the Nazis assembling in DC this past weekend.
The figure is just the expenses related to the DC police department and does not include the cost of running two exclusive Metro train cars for the Nazis, or shutting down Metro stations along their route, or federal government expenses like those from the Park Service.
While some have criticized the city for spending this money protecting the lamest scum in the nation from a hearty and well-deserved smackdown (even as the cops once again beat on and pepper-sprayed the counter-protesters), the mayor took pains to remind people today that the money actually depleted an emergency planning fund and was not diverted directly from any account that would have otherwise helped starving children.
