Minn officers to defy lib mayor’s Trump rally rules with clever T-shirts, predict ‘sea of red’
October 8, 2019 | Frieda Powers
A Minneapolis police union leader is criticizing the city’s liberal mayor for trying to “antagonize†and “bully†President Trump and says local law enforcement will be out in force to show their support for the president.
Lieutenant Bob Kroll, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, promised a “groundswell†of support for Trump at his planned rally Thursday, telling “Fox & Friends†that police plan to turn the Target Center into a “sea of red†with “Cops for Trump†T-shirts.
Hours after the rally was announced, Mayor Jacob Frey’s office and Police Chief Medaria Arradondo announced that police officers were no longer allowed to wear their formal uniforms at political events.
“I don’t want the Minneapolis Police Department to be politicized at all,†Arradondo said last week, claiming the department was “not showing favor or bias toward a particular political party or candidate,†and pushing back against accusations of political motivation.
Police are pushing back now with plans to wear the red t-shirts which Kroll said have been “selling out†quickly.
