Was having ~30 salaried NYPD personnel to escort one dude really a good use of budget?

Stop this nonsense. He is now a public figure, and the police have all the reasons in the world to encounter protests.
If the police sent 5 guys, encountered a small group who attach them you'd all be meme'ing about the police incompetency.
This is the dumbest reason to make fun of the police who make it easy.
This is a perp walk, the police/DA/et al made this happen - and ensured the media was there to capture the moment of him in ‘inmate orange’ flanked by heavily armed state police. Absolutely pre trial prejudicial influence.
Given the speed at which his arraignment and extradition from PA happened, and the fact that the NYPD could have chosen multiple different routes and methods to get him to NYC, he could have been shuffled into a regular prison bus in a police convoy from the airport, with blacked out windows - like is common in Europe where this kind of malfeasance actually results in mistrials and acquittals.
Thank you for being sane, competent and willing. I wish more Americans were like you.
