Can someone explain what is going on? Is it police funding cost?

I think funding is part of it, but it sounds like that bloke has Brunstrom syndrome.
Hmmm 11 arrests over a couple of days among 23000 people - I wonder how that compares to a weekend in somewhere like the centre of Birmingham??
following links to quotes of his...
He said there was a "clear, evidenced, and significant risk" to innocent members of the public if the Bulldog Bash was allowed to take place.
The force has said the operation to police the event will cost about £1.4m.
Bulldog Bash is organised by Hells Angels, an organisation who within the West Midlands region and internationally are recognised as an organised crime group.
I want to restrict the ability of all organised groups to fundraise in this county and therefore have taken all possible legal and ethical steps to oppose this event taking place.
Last year, Stratford-on-Avon District Council extended the festival's licence until 2018.

Sounds more like a high ranking officer wanting air time, maybe there's a high profile job in the offing.
