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 AEGs 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 Citys demand is particularly ridiculous in view of the fact that the security cost for President Obamas 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 Trumps 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 Trumps 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.

I hope Trump does not back out for “the safety of his supporters”. This will empower and embolden them even more. He needs to follow through hell or high water.
I think along with the SS, Trump needs bring along a company of Marines just in case.
There a host of Trumps campaign people who have been on the ground for weeks training over 600 people ‘to flip Minnesota Red’ and Frey and the rest of those yay-hoos well know it....The Demorat groups are complaining because they just can’t keep up with Trumps people...lol..One of Trumps focus states IS Minnesota and the Dems just plain don’t want him there.

Democrat thugs - and press thugs who looks the ‘other way’...
“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.”
Fat chance with most off duty Minneapolis cops attending the rally in red Trump shirts and there being no real way for Antifa thugs to tell the difference between them and ordinary attendees who’re also wearing the same shirts. Could make for an excellent, peaceful, enthusiastic, large, loud, friendly crowd.
People of Minnesota are fed up of what Obama did to them. Placing hundreds of thousands of Somalis there. Trump wants to turn minnisota RED and has a great opportunity to do just that.
The ANG and AFR at MSP should have some birds up and low that day.
If you mean violence you're on the wrong side of what His rallies are about.

I think it is going to be very interesting...
I live just north of Minneapolis and I used to think that Trump might have a 50-50 shot to win MN, at best. Now with all this crap going on I think hes going to take it.
There are powerful business interests in Minneapolis (Target, US Bank, Medtronic) and they have to be absolutely pissed at the idiot mayor, honking off the cops and trashing the citys business reputation. The last thing they want is another Baltimore.
I think you’re right...
You forgot her brother.....
he was included as one of the husband(S) :)
Maybe I should have said Brother/Husband....Ha!@!
I find it interesting that the SAME people who try to swindle citizens into paying for sports stadiums and claiming that it’s good for the economy are completely unconcerned about how great it would be for the economy to have President Trump visit.
I smell fear. Deep State going down.
Just bring in a battalion of armed soldiers and a dozen tanks rumbling down streets within 5 miles. Sounds secure to me.
So much for the Minnesota Nice BS they keep touting all of the time

minneapolistan is not Minnesota.
Minneapolis, which hired the m*slim cop which murdered the White woman from Australia and which defended him for his murder.
