    Truly a thing that must only be wondered at. Where could one possibly find the answer?

    The city has spent more than $29 million to cover LAPD overtime and costs associated with declaring a citywide tactical alert, according to the controller.

      So further review shows they average over $4 million a week on overtime.

      So I guess we could surmise it was around $25 million more than normal.

        That’s assuming they didn’t also do the regular overtime on top of this and that the City Controller didn’t account for normal spending.

          Sure, we could also ask why they only asked for $17 million to pay off the overtime as well, but we would just be going in circles, haha. I’m more impressed than they will pay 17 million off in 90 days when they are operating at a loss in some way that they have “$1 billion in debt” supposedily.
