MPD officers make between $32-55 dollars per hour. Protesters were kettled for near 5hrs. That means the city spent about $200 PER COP to trap protesters on the highway. A singular cop's pay for those 5hrs could feed more than an entire encampment.

A lot of people direct their funds to presidential elections, but now is the perfect time to redirect those funds to local mutual aid groups! Be involved with your neighbors all year, not politicians once every four.
