Pride Parade Halted Briefly By Black Lives Matter Demonstrators

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Downtown Minneapolis helped host the 2017 Twin Cities Pride Festival this weekend, and it’s been a year unlike any other.

Thousands of people gathered along Hennepin Avenue Sunday morning for the annual Pride parade, and shortly after it started, the parade came to a halt. Black Lives Matter demonstrators jumped ahead of the parade’s leadoff vehicle, an unmarked police squad car.
