Mike Haege, the tree trimmer who was kicked out of Minneapolis in the immediate aftermath of the north Minneapolis tornado, has released a cellphone video that he says backs up his story. Minneapolis officials have not responded to questions about exactly why a Hastings tree trimmer who wasn't charging anybody for his help, was escorted from the city because he didn't have a license as a professional tree trimmer in the city.
The video doesn't reveal a lot, other than it took four cops to kick him out.
The video is posted by the Hastings Star Gazette.
