California spent $38.2 million deploying CHP officers to George Floyd protests
Protesters briefly blocked both sides of the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.The action was in response to a request by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for state aid, including National Guard troops, to help the Los Angeles Police Department respond to property damage and thefts in the city.It marked the third time in more than half a century that the state sent troops to respond to unrest in the city over violence against a Black person in police custody.
“You’ve lost patience,” Newsom said to protesters in announcing the deployment. “So have I. You are right to feel wronged. You are right to feel the way you are feeling.” The costs of 431,454 hours of unanticipated overtime for CHP officers will be covered by the state budget under the emergency order and other action being taken by the Department of Finance.
Money is being transferred from the general fund “in support of the state’s efforts to mitigate civil unrest in Los Angeles City and County,” Bosler wrote.
