Politics President Donald Trump celebrated the Minneapolis cops union for fighting a brand-new city regulation preventing off-duty authorities officers from attending his political rally in uniform.
” The Police are battling the Radical Left Mayor, and his absurd Uniform Restriction,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “I am with you 100%!!!!”
Thank you to Lt. Bob Kroll of the terrific Minneapolis Police Department for your kind words on @foxandfriends The Police are combating the Radical Left Mayor, and his outrageous Uniform Ban. Really, I ENJOY the Cops for Trump t-shirts. Wish to bring some home. I am with you 100%!!!!

Last Monday, Minneapolis Authorities Chief Medaria Arradondo announced a new policy blocking any off-duty policeman from attending the rally in uniform.
” Someone please tell the Radical Left Mayor of Minneapolis that he can’t price out Free Speech,” Trump composed. “Probably unlawful!”
Somebody please tell the Radical Left Mayor of Minneapolis that he can’t evaluate Free Speech. Most likely prohibited! I stand highly & happily with the excellent Law enforcement officer and Police of Minneapolis and the Great State of Minnesota! See you Thursday Night!

In reaction, Lt. Bob Kroll, the president of the Cops Officer’s Federation of Minneapolis, revealed that they would combat the brand-new law by using helpful Tee shirts of the president.
” We’re going to be there in complete force, in Tee shirts, letting people know that off-duty officers do have support for our president,” Kroll said to local media recently.
The president captured an appearance by Kroll on Fox and Buddies First on Tuesday early morning, which highlighted their assistance for Trump and the tee shirts created for the rally.
The red shirts read “Polices for Trump” and feature shapes of policeman badges and a summary of the state of Minnesota.
” I stand highly & happily with the terrific Law enforcement officer and Police of Minneapolis and the Great State of Minnesota!” Trump wrote on Twitter afterward. “See you Thursday Night!”
The president shared a link to the website where supporters could buy their own Tee shirts, but a message on the website said it was “suspended,” potentially due to the heavy volume of web traffic sent to the account.
