The Minneapolis Police Department announced a policy change prohibiting off-duty officers from wearing their uniforms at political rallies or when publicly endorsing candidates.

Our entire city will stand not behind the president, but behind the communities and people who continue to make our city — and this country — great,” Frey said, according to the Star Tribune. “While there is no legal mechanism to prevent the president from visiting, his message of hatred will never be welcome in Minneapolis.

I don't want the Minneapolis Police Department to be politicized, at all," Arradondo said at the news conference Tuesday.
