The $900,000.00/day is greatly made up of overtime for officers, but don't have access to an actual assessment record.
In response to protesters being labeled. Yes, some people are genuine in their feelings but make no mistake, there are professional protesters and they treat it like a job as well as "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine."

"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) expressed concern that antiwar protest rallies scheduled to take place this weekend in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco may employ inflammatory anti-Israel and anti-Jewish statements and rhetoric.
...Organizers of the January 18 "National March in Washington to Demand: No War Against Iraq", the San Francisco rally, and other events scheduled for this weekend have previously embraced statements supporting Palestinian terrorism, equating Zionism with Nazism, and calling for the destruction of the Jewish State."

Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times came close when he wrote that the March 15 protest was organized by a group which "has drawn criticism from some people inside and out of the anti-war movement because some of its chief organizers are active in radical socialist causes and because it has taken controversial positions on issues not directly related to Iraq."
I’ve got news for Berkowitz. Some of the protesters, including key organizers of the January 18 and March 15 demonstrations in Washington, D.C., are anti-American and communist and apologists for Hussein. I know because I saw and photographed them. I covered both rallies. Photos from the latest rally are on the Accuracy in Media web site. The communist Workers World Party (WWP) ran this event through the International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) front group. But the WWP is clever. While ANSWER had its own literature tables at the rally, the WWP had a separate space with posters, books and pamphlets. One pamphlet described the 1992 Los Angeles riots as a legitimate "rebellion." Having two different spaces for ANSWER and the WWP makes it seem as though they are two different groups. It’s simple but effective deception.
Soldiers on the war front have told their families that the well-publicized protests staged by the anti-war movement have been demoralizing to them.
I wish they could find out how many are registered voters, which brings me to another point. EXERCISING YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE IS THE BEST WAY TO PROTEST! Contact your representatives if you are unhappy. They are very sensitive to their constituants/voters.
