organized by Betsy DeVos & Charles Koch
armed demonstrators menace started & local officials
AstroTurf protestors show no respect for police

No armed demonstrators terrorizing state or local authorities
no screaming in police faces during a pandemic

Now let’s look at the cost of police personnel for these demonstrations:
Unite The Right, 2017: cost to police=$2.2M; casualties=28; deaths=1
March for our Lives, 2018: cost to police=$153K; casualties=0, deaths=0 https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-government-might-ask-activists-to-repay-the-costs-of-securing-protests-experts-say-it-could-price-them-out/2019/09/28/66f7785a-e07b-11e9-8dc8-498eabc129a0_story.html
