Do we not recall, only a few short months ago, the cultural problems the force has?
The resignations of a dozen female officers, rampant abuses, affecting minority/female members.
Has anything changed since? I can only find radio silence, other than a response of "denial" by CPS.

I am typically very skeptical of the police. I think the culture within that organization is extremely problematic, in particular with the abuse you describe. Having said that, I don't see how prohibiting police in uniform, to what is presumably a celebration of inclusiveness, a good idea. It isn't about the organizers having the right to make this decision. It isn't about hurting the police's feelings. It is simply a dumb, counterproductive move in my opinion. They aren't showing up in full riot gear, goose-stepping down Stephen Avenue, for goodness sakes.
