President Trump’s rally in Minnesota Thursday drew hundreds of protesters, who lit MAGA hats on fire, reportedly threw urine, and attacked a Trump supporter as he left.

Protesters also clashed with the police, with one “tense” moment when they began chanting “Whose streets? Our streets” and “kill a cop, save a life.” According to Townhall’s Cortey O’Brien, “Blue lives don’t f***ing matter” was also among the anti-police language used.

Hundreds? I thought this was the largest anti-Trump/anti capitalist gathering ever in the history of the entire universe. You know, tens of thousands of antifa types. Thanks to the 'mare' of Minneapolis for inspiring these thugs.

Yes, I also think we were told it would be in the tens of thousands. They needed something like $400,000 in policy overtime funding to handle the masses.

If the MSM is saying “hundreds”, it was likely not that many.

These are the thugs that would be downtown regardless of any event. Of course they hate the police. Police hinder their ability to prey on folks just trying to live their lives.

The ‘mare’ wanted Trump team to pony up $400k for LEO overtime and another $130k for infrastructure work like street closures, barricades and detours. TT said, uh, no.

Arrests?

Fox reported that only 1 person was arrested. ONE!

All you need to know about the POS mayor that runs that city.

If I were Trump I would stop any federal aid if they ever need any.

” I assume the Democrats are proud of the protesters. “

One great thing about President Trump, or the advent of him as a conservative who wins without apologizing, is the depiction of the left as the idiots they are. Some libs may say this is overgeneralizing but if it is it seems like a case of the 99 per cent of idiot libs giving the rest a bad name.

Pictured in the article is someone with a sign that says "Blue lives don't firetrucking matter."

Isn't Minnesota a Blue state? Aren't the Dems represented by Blue?

Yep maybe hundreds. You realise only 900 cops in Minneapolis. Feel sorry for those cops on bikes. NYPD has 36,000 cops!!!

“1 person was arrested’

Must have accidently bumped into a police officer. The cops were ordered to stand down and they followed orders.

I briefly checked a couple videos of the “protests”, and it looks like there were more LEO than protestors.
