The Minneapolis police union is selling "Cops for Trump" T-shirts after the police department banned officers from wearing their uniforms in support of candidates at political events or in ads.
The Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis has accused police administrators of instituting the new policy just days before President Donald Trump's visit to Minneapolis. Union chief Bob Kroll says a lot of officers want to go to Thursday's rally wearing their uniforms because Trump is a "very pro-law enforcement president."
The Star Tribune reports the police department denies the new policy has anything to do with politics and says it's been under consideration since early this year.

OK...This is hilarious:
“...the police department banned officers from wearing their uniforms in support of candidates at political events...”
Then:
“...the police department denies the new policy has anything to do with politics...”
Excellent!
Go, Trump!
Go, police!
““...the police department denies the new policy has anything to do with politics...”
I believe them. It’s about capitalism and they sell shirts for ummm, commerce (cough)

It’s the police UNION selling the shirts, not the police department...
This was after they were told in the past against their will to pose for pictures with democrats. Now Trump comes to town and the mayor has a freak out and orders the police dept to change the policy.
I feel happy about this AND President Trump will be so grateful for the support. Way to go guys!
That’s been debunked a few times.
is that true? Wow.
That smells like a fake quote. But I have no doubt that no matter what a Marine’s politics are, the Trump family treats them better than Obamas or the Clintons ever did.
Nice.
Nice - very nice...
Those “Cops for Trump” t-shirts are collectibles, and even burning the midnight oil their silk screeners can’t keep up.
The profits from the sale go to police charities, such as widows & orphans fund, college scholarships, disabled support, etc. Hopefully other police and fire unions will pick up on the idea as a major fund raiser.
It also serves as a general note that Trump election paraphernalia is going to be a big seller.
I’m pleasantly surprised that the police union for Minnecraponus is doing this. Good to see the rank and file finally grow a backbone - was never a fan of MPD. Minnesota may deliver a rude awakening to the Donks in 2020. And just maybe the Twin Cities will surprise the hell out of us.
