We'd love to have the partnership of Mayor Frey.

We'd love to have the partnership with the chief of police and of Governor Walz.

Those officers.

OK, pause.

Action.

That's when this individual started blocking traffic for minutes and minutes.

Blocked the road for a long time and was yelling at them and impeding a federal law enforcement investigation.
