NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly whines that Occupy Wall Street protests cost city $17M  in overtime

Trying to justify the police department’s over half billion dollar overtime bill, the Commish tries to blame Occupy Wall Street.

For trying to pawn off his management failure (overtime is up almost 6% this year) on OWS, Ray Kelly can Bite Me.
