Mayor Frey is now walking back some of his prior rhetoric that helped overheat the situation.
Fox9: Minneapolis ICE shooting: Mayor Frey says city is being put in 'impossible situation'
"We're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street," Frey said.
The reaction from the Police Chief when he says that (about 12 seconds in on the video at the link) is rather priceless.
That Frey didn't immediately say that is absolutely bonkers as an idea, is all a part of the Democrat's on again/off again encouragement of rioting and bad behavior.
The mayor is now sort of toning down his rhetoric after his fiery words that helped push the riotous conduct to begin with - not to mention his refusal to have MPD assist ICE in securing scenes and preventing situations where rioters are blocking federal agents doing their lawful jobs and the potential for incidents when "peaceful protestors" block vehicles and resist arrest leading to bad outcomes.
This call for the MPD to intervene is rather funny in a way.
After all, these residents asking police officers to fight ICE agents are the same activists that were calling for the defunding of the police not long ago, and likely still are calling for the police to be defunded.
Calling for the MPD to take on ICE is rather insurrection-y, isn't it?
