I don&#x27;t believe most of these numbers. I&#x27;ll be back later with a spreadsheet<p>Why am I being downvoted? Seriously, this math calculates to me differently in my head - so I am going to put a spreadsheet together to see if these costs are real.<p>Ill assume the avg salary stated above, plus the hours and schedules.<p>I can&#x27;t believe that some beat officer is going to inflate costs 2x for doing reporting. I HIGHLY doubt there is <i></i><i>that</i><i></i> much paperwork for a simple shift change.<p>Further, the &quot;cost&quot; could be highly falsely inflated to justify the stopping of guarding Assange as they may see it a waste - and want to inflate how much waste there is so as to get easy agreement that &quot;its not worth it&quot;
