In the wake of Beyonce’s controversial Super Bowl halftime performance of her new song “Formation” — which critics say contains an anti-cop message — police and politicians around the country have been speaking out against it.

But the criticism could be manifesting itself in practical ways, given what’s happened since police in Tampa, Florida, got a request to work her April 29 concert in town.

Usually off-duty officers sign up to work concerts and sporting events for extra cash, but to date no officers have signed up for the show, WTVT-TV reported. And given it’s expected to sell out, that could be a security issue.

While police spokesman Steve Hegarty couldn’t tell the station if zero sign-ups means local cops are angry with Beyonce, he did say the show would have security.

“We’re going to staff it because we have a responsibility to do that regardless of how controversial it might be, who the artist might be, or the politician might be,” Hegarty told the station. “This is a couple of months away, so we’ve still got plenty of time to fill those slots.”

It isn’t clear how police will take care of security if the lack of sign-ups continues, but officials in the department told WTVT the scenario is nothing new — and that in the past, if a controversial artist is due in town to perform, Tampa’s police always have shown up to do their jobs.

Let her provide for her own concert security. She can afford it.

The boycott spreads.

I am assuming this is a different concert than the one in Tampa (story #1) because the two cities are so far apart. I also assume city leaders in both cities, including the customarily subservient police administrations, will order the police to provide at least some security, traffic if nothing else. Which meaneth April will be an excellent time for an outbreak of blue flu.

Maybe the Hell's Angels could provide security. That worked out really well for the Rolling Stones back in the 60's

Or there's always The Black Panthers. They're DOJ approved, y'know.
