Related: About this forumSan Jose Bacon Fest Postponed Due To Lack Of Available Police
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/08/24/san-jose-bacon-fest-postponed-due-to-lack-of-available-police/Bacon lovers received bad news Wednesday when a San Jose festival featuring the favorite breakfast food was postponed due to a lack of available police officers to provide security.
The event was set to fill Plaza de Cesar Chavez with 10,000 to 15,000 people on Labor Day. But a complication has forced the festival is postponed until mid-October.
The San Jose Bacon Festival promises a lot of pork, but apparently there arent enough police officers to cover the fest.
Two and a half weeks before the event, we get a letter from the city saying, We dont have enough resources, particularly police resources for the event, said Ryan Sebastian of the organizing group, Moveable Feast. It draws tons of people to downtown. This is exactly what we need, but then they make it difficult or impossible to hold it.

The jokes just write themselves. But srsly, I pay almost 1500 bucks for a one-bedroom in not exactly the best part of town, and I can't even have bacon?!

And those who would have participated and attended. What a big let down. Bacon is the meat from Heaven.
