Comment to Deanna's G20 Security

The G20 summit is costing tax payers a lot of money. Police have to be trained to fight against the protesters, and prepare to protect the world leaders against protesters. The summit is costing way too much money because the police have had to buy weapons just for the two days of the summit, and most likely they will not be using the weapons that they have bought after the summit in the near future. Also the budget they have set does not cover business that have to work around the summit for security and safety reasons. Business has to set up high security procedures for the two days hoping that their employees get to work safely. Store owners who are near the summit have had to make certain accommodations for their outdoors patio furniture. They were told that need to have their furniture put away for the summit because protesters may use it as weapons. The summit is costing local business a lot of money because they will be losing business on the summit days.
