@nbcphiladelphia: After 15 people were arrested at Pride celebrations in Center City earlier this year, there was an immediate call for answers as some attendees complained about excessive force as officers worked to control crowds during the end of the events. On Wednesday, Aug. 5, Philadelphia City Councilmember Rue Landau (Dem., At-Large) -- joined by the rest of council's Committee on Legislative Oversight -- held a hearing on the incident. Landau's office said the hearing was intended to "examine police conduct and planning during the June 7, 2026, Pride celebrations in the Gayborhood that took place after crowds gathered following the Pride programming on the Parkway." #philly #Pride #police #nbc10philly
so a couple teens get in a scuffle and suddenly that means a bunch of cops need to show up and make every person leave the whole area?

The major issue is supervisors with no time on the job supervising rookie cops.

It went wrong before Pride started. An ego trip led to the organizers moving it to the parkway.

I don’t think closing the Streets and cramming everyone on the sidewalk was the best of ideas.

complete cluster. they didn't think large groups of young people were going to go to the gayborhood during pride, especially when they were charging $10 entry to the main event on the parkway? they don't understand the community because they've never tried. it's all about showing force, even when it's not needed

This sounds very similar to New Years Day and the Mummers Parade. The police and the community have made the 2nd Street after-Parade much safer by creating boundaries, and policing the public. Let them do their jobs, comply and you won’t have ANY problems.

What went wrong? Trashed moved thru the streets. The thems/theys that now run pride have no experience and no planning. Im gay and live in the hood. Walking to pick up dinner that night I was accosted twice. Once verbally. Once physically. I’m fine with an even bigger police presence. Or maybe I’ll just go out of town next year.
