NEW: Richmond Police have spent nearly $2 million on overtime and equipment responding to the #RVAprotests as of July 3. @BPaves and I filed Freedom of Information Act requests to all of the police agencies that've been at protests. Here's what we found: vpm.org/news/articles/… The break down of the nearly $2m spent by RPD:
