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

Why are we pretending like this isn't prudent on NYPD's part? If this weren't 2000 miles away I'd probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I'm considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.
Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.
Makes him look way more important tho
To people who don't know the story (ie potential jurors) it could be detrimental, but I'm sure his lawyer will address that.
Does any potential juror possibly not know about this? We're not talking about rare mineral slave miners here.
