Twin Cities Pride parade officials discuss reversing ban on police marching

Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau on Thursday publicly expressed her frustration with Twin Cities Pride’s decision to bar uniformed police officers from marching in Sunday’s parade, calling the move “divisive.”

Harteau wasn’t alone in her reaction, with many saying that a group that has long championed inclusivity was showing hypocrisy in banning a whole profession.
