There is a very legitimate problem in Columbus between POC & Columbus Police(head kicking cop & at least 2 AA men shot & killed by police, w/o legal consequences.) The protesting activists also have issues with Stonewall, the pride committee and how the arrests by CPD were handled.~I do not know if the activists have/had problems w/ LGBT cop groups here in Columbus.~
I can understand some of the issues.
I also know that if LGBT & POC groups cannot address and try to repair the damaged between these communities, the beneficiaries of the split will be only to RW authoritians & the GOP.
I hate this split & damage.

I don't think we should have police in our parades. It sends a message that POC aren't welcome. DemocraticWing Jun 2017 #7

Well since I had to work up and close with them during the parade I discovered that hrmjustin Jun 2017 #8
