Your position is clearly wrong under the plain wording of the contract. Neither the Campaign nor AEG is responsible for arranging or paying for rally-related security. Rather, the U.S. Secret Service – and the U.S. Secret Service alone – is “solely and directly” responsible for coordinating law enforcement services in connection with the rally.
“As such, no law enforcement costs shall be coordinated by [AEG], charged through [AEG] to [the Campaign], or shall otherwise be reimbursable expenses in connection with the [contract].” The Campaign cannot be in breach of an obligation it does not owe to AEG. Yet AEG’s failure to deliver the Target Center on October 9 would be a breach of contract, and the Campaign will aggressively pursue all remedies available to it in law or equity – not to mention in the court of public opinion. (Emphasis added.)
The City’s demand is particularly ridiculous in view of the fact that the security cost for President Obama’s 2009 appearance at the Target Center was reported to be $20,000, 1/26th of what Frey is trying to charge President Trump.
It is obvious what is going on here. Frey is on record saying he regrets that “there is no legal mechanism to prevent the president from visiting.” He has now conjured up the ridiculous security theory in order to scuttle Trump’s appearance, as a grandstanding ploy to enhance his popularity in a city that is struggling with rising violent crime and lack of economic development.
In related news, the Minneapolis Police Department, on the day after Trump’s visit was announced, “banned officers from wearing their uniforms in support of candidates at political events or in ads.” The Minneapolis police union has responded by selling t-shirts that say “Cops for Trump.”

Sounds like they’re planning to assault Trump supppors.
Did you see the message that ANTIFA sent out to their cohorts???

Cities
United
Never
Trump
Supporters
wonder if Omar’s husbands and lover will attend?
It’s going to be rainy and cold, very few libs will show up.
They are trying to scare away the Trump supporters, especially anyone that might bring kids, or anyone whose skin color could suggest they are a slave ofbthe Democrat Party.
Big cheering crowds for Trump in the heart of New Mogadishu is a death visual to the Corruptocrats.
These folks just can’t help themselves from repeatedly committing Wellstone blunders. There couldn’t be a better way to fire up Trump supporters. This will backfire terribly.
Every Trump supporter who can drive, fly, walk or crawl should go to that rally and raise hell. Democrats are so desperate to depose him they will stop at nothing.
I would think the city would want off duty police in uniform so they could go straight to work if needed.
This is the same type of Dem trick that liberal university presidents use on conservative speakers, such as Coulter, or Ben Shapiro. The university presidents demand huge payments for added security and they also try to schedule the speeches in inconvenient places and at inconvenient times. Dems love to censor any opposing views.
Now I did, thanks.

Looks like the police union might not follow orders when the mayor tells cops to stand down.
Sure thing...
Another liberal mayor ruining what once was a decend city. So much for the “Minnesota Nice” BS they keep touting all of the time.
Thank you
The land of HHH will stop anything conservative in its tracks.
