(4,007 posts)refuse any and all police, fire and whatever civil fencing, signage, administrative help, you name it.

Why Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Took on Donald Trump - Over Police Bills
(10/10/19) Earlier this week, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey infuriated President Donald Trump when he demanded the commander-in-chief pay a $530,000 public safety bill connected to tonights scheduled Keep America Great re-election rally at the city-owned Target Center.
Matters grew ugly. Quickly.
Trumps campaign called the request an outrageous abuse of power.
Trump himself went on a tweet rampage: Someone please tell the Radical Left Mayor of Minneapolis that he cant price out Free Speech. Probably illegal! I stand strongly & proudly with the great Police Officers and Law Enforcement of Minneapolis and the Great State of Minnesota!
