The police should have done their job in spite of Pride but they were more than not invited, they were told not to attend in uniform.
Pride needs to decide what they want from police.
They weren't invited to be in the festival area in uniform, no.
Infiltrate and dox people on a pretense of wanting to attend Pride ... in uniform? A pretend 'recruiting booth'?
**** you. That was the Chief's plan for policing Pride.
**** the Chief.
Police were expected to be policing the violent bigots, held far enough away not to disturb PrideFest,
behind a huge black curtain that roved as needed and hid their disgusting signs. All good. It was brilliant, and it worked.
But the police didn't work that day.
No excuses. It was blatant. FTP
