The Hill plays up "escape plan" at McCarthy town hall
Seems a little over the top, but The Hill, a publication that covers DC politics, recently published a story leading with the "escape plan" Bakersfield and CSUB police "devised" for Congressman Kevin McCarthy at his recent town hall meeting at the Icardo Center. Seems like planning is something any police force would do for an elected official going in front of a large crowd divided by a heated national issue. But apparently it's news when it happens in Bakersfield, with security planning elevated to a "stark reminder of the precautions that have been put in place in the wake of heated town hall meetings this summer." 3 comments from 3 users

Someone should tell the writer at The Hill that CSU and UC police are full fledged officers of the state, not just security guards. posted by

Could The Hill be referring to threats of violence that you have failed to mention? It was threats and the news of escape plans that prevented me from attending. posted by
