California IN BRIEF : SIMI VALLEY : Supremacist’s Parade Banned

White supremacist Richard Barrett can stage an outdoor rally Sept. 12 but cannot hold a parade because there will be too few police officers to protect him, city officials said. City leaders canceled the parade after Ventura County Sheriff John Gillespie said he could not afford to grant Simi Valley’s request for more than 300 deputies and other officers to help guard Mississippi attorney Barrett and his followers during a parade. Instead, Simi Valley Police Chief Lindsey P. Miller said about 100 officers from his department and 100 deputies will protect members of the Nationalist Movement during a rally confined to an area outside the East County Courthouse. Simi Valley officials said they will allow the parade only if National Guard troops or other forces are provided.
