The required deposit came about because Trump failed to pay an $81,837 bill from a campaign event he held at the Tucson Convention Center in 2016.

    I meant more that sounds like a high number of police for a Bernie rally. I didn’t think they required so much reigning in.

    Some googling and skimming a Seattle city guide to event policing tells me 1-2 police per 1000 attendees is normal, and the rate you worked out sounds about right also.

    It’s a huge document, over 100 pages, but just skimming it was quite enlightening.

      I agree that it’s a large number of cops for a Bernie rally (although it’s the right amount if their real job was intimidating Bernie liberals rather than providing actual security). I was just pointing out how much OT money cops make for that sort of gig.
