(OBSERVER photo by Robert J. Maryland) SPD clocked 7,176 hours of overtime and more than $600,000 to police pro-Trump demonstrations at the State Capitol. SPD Police Chief Daniel Hahn said 27 arrests and citations from the protests also included 16 that involved Antifa and counter-protesters. Eleven arrests involved Proud Boys and other far-right affiliates. “We have tried to keep our community safe, prevent violence, minimize property damage, and ensure everyone’s constitutional rights were protected,” Hahn told the City Council in a virtual setting. At various moments, the protests were edgy and full of emotions, turning into violence. Many critics say the police department was picking sides, protecting Trump supporters in their opinion.
