At a public hearing on the police response to Pride celebrations in the Gayborhood, city council members and LGBTQ+ leaders expressed skepticism and anger over the department's justification for its aggressive crowd control. The department deployed 150 officers on June 7 to the Center City neighborhood, where queer residents had gathered for dancing, parties and bar hopping. The official Pride parade and festival had moved this year from the Gayborhood to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and implemented a $10 entry fee. The "eight or nine" masked officers his department has identified are in the middle of a disciplinary process. One of the last people called to the podium was Tyrell Brown, whose Philly Pride 365 organizes the annual parade.
