About "Occupy's OT tab is $91,000," June 26, the points need to be made that this expense was not the fault of the Occupy Albany protesters and was unnecessary. As was pointed out in the article, the 100-plus charges against the demonstrators were dropped in court.
State Police activity during Occupy Albany and the resulting taxpayer-funded overtime expense is yet another example of police overreaction and "pseudo-macho" behavior. And, yes, include Gov. Andrew Cuomo in that characterization.
