Organizers of New York City Pride banned the New York Police Department from participating in the annual June parade and related events and moved to reduce their presence on scene, saying their appearance threatened members of the community.
"NYC Pride seeks to create safer spaces for the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities at a time when violence against marginalized groups, specifically BIPOC and trans communities, has continued to escalate," Heritage of Pride, the nonprofit that plans NYC Pride events, said in a statement on Saturday.

Event organizers said they no longer require security and first response from the NYPD and will instead reallocate those services to "trained private security, community leaders, and volunteers," the statement reads. Heritage of Pride said it will use NYPD first response and security "only when absolutely necessary" and "as mandated by city officials," according to the statement.
Två frågor:

- Beror liberala opinionsbildares stöd för "defund the police" på att mindre polisnärvaro ökar vinsterna för privata säkerhetsfirmor?
För säkerhet vill ju de flesta trots allt ha.
