$23K spent for police security at a pro-gun rally.
I’m pretty sure having police present at any rally is normal; but they said there were officers from specialized teams:
That deployment consisted of a staff sergeant and inspector, as well as members of Cape Breton’s emergency response team (ERT) tactical unit, the public safety unit, internet crimes, community safety enforcement and street crime units, as well as regular patrol officers and mental health liaisons. … also hired guards from a local security company for 12-hour patrols.
Now, I think the key takeaway from this though is that they said “… as well as members of …”. Not that the teams were deployed; which tells me that maybe their police force isn’t big enough to have Internet Crimes watching, but that an officer on that team was present at the rally and doing normal security for that day
