While reading the previous article about the amount spent on the Trump event I wondered why a campaign should be billed for the police presence for protecting Trump supporters from potential harm and damaged caused by people protesting Trump coming to town to speak to his supporters. 

Americans have a constitutional right to assembly, but is that exercising that right possible if others object to us attending an event? There have been speakers who have come to town over the years with whom I disagreed, but it didn't occur to me to picket that event or try to harass the people who wanted to hear those messages. 

I hate to think that in this area that we would have any candidate's supporter treated the way that Trump supporters were hounded, harassed, and attacked in  San Jose following a campaign rally while police stood by watching, but not protecting people exiting that event.  I'm glad our police stood between the protesters and the supporters to protect everyone.
