| Subject: Police supporters of Trump plan 'sea of red' at Minneapolis rally amid outrage over uniform ban Tue Oct 08, 2019 6:37 pm | |
| WASHINGTON – Minneapolis police officers rankled by a new department policy barring off-duty staff from wearing their uniforms to political events plan to instead swarm President Donald Trump's rally Thursday with a "sea of red" specialty T-shirts. The policy change came the day after Trump announced he would host a rally in Minneapolis. The head of the local police union argues the ban was a political move meant to favor the city's Democratic officials. The police department for its part says the policy is about avoiding the appearance of political bias. But the person who could be most irked by the rule change? The president, who is traveling to Minneapolis on Thursday for his first campaign rally since House Democrats announced an impeachment inquiry against him.
