Gonna guess a hell of a lot less than a billion dollars

So let me get this straight, you want to pay organized criminals to control other criminals? That worked out really well for the Rolling Stones concert in the 60's where fans were stabbed by the HA security.
Unfortunately the police are damned if they do and damned if they don't. A legitimate protest can quickly turn into a gong show just like we've seen today. The anarchists dress in normal clothes and mingle with legitimate protesters. Then they don masks and black clothing, cause as much damage as they can, change back into their normal clothing and blend in with the crowd. Their goal is to get the police to over react and tear gas the whole crowd, thus turning the masses against them. If they use force they get criticized, if they sit back and allow people to protest, the vandals strike and then they get criticized for not acting soon enough. All I can say is I'm glad I'm not a cop on the ground in Toronto.
