Police Officers Protest Pride After Being Barred From Marching With Guns
Clusters of New York police officers stood sentry along the Pride March route on Fifth Avenue on Sunday, in full uniform and armed, watching the parade go by as they do every year. Nearby, dozens of their colleagues gathered behind metal barricades in protest. Some wore their uniforms; others wore polo shirts and hoisted signs emblazoned with rainbows and slogans like 'Let gay cops back into Pride March' and 'Our uniform is our protest.' Behind them, a truck bore a large digital screen with the message 'We will not be erased.' The demonstration was organized by the Gay Officers Action League, an L.B.G.T.Q. police group that has been barred from marching in New York City Pride since 2021. Starting in 1996, groups of uniformed police and corrections officers in New York marched in the parade every year. But the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement made the involvement of the police in festivities in New York and elsewhere in North America increasingly contentious. In 2021, Heritage of Pride, which organizes Pride events in New York, barred the police from marching as a group, part of wave of similar measures that followed the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers in May 2020. Since then, officers in many cities have been allowed back into local Pride marches. But in New York, Heritage of Pride did not take action to lift the ban, which was slated to expire in 2025. Two weeks before the parade, Brian Downey, a detective and the president of the Gay Officers Action League, known as GOAL, said Heritage leaders told him that officers could march again on one condition: that they leave their guns at home.

Police rescue emaciated newborn baby from Phoenix apartment days after its mother died
An 'emaciated' baby survived several days alone in a Phoenix, Arizona, apartment after the infant's mother died, authorities said. Shocking bodycam footage released by the Phoenix Police Department shows the newborn clinging to life after officers broke down the door while performing a welfare check on May 14. Authorities forced down the front door of the home after an observant neighbor called 911 to ask for a welfare check as the woman 'had recently given birth to a baby, and had not been seen or heard from for several days,' Phoenix police said in a news release. Bodycam footage shows an officer peering into the home through an open window and telling the other first responders, 'The baby's here, dude.' And the baby's still alive.' While looking through the window, officers also spotted the mother lying 'motionless on the floor.' Police then broke down the door and retrieved the 'visibly emaciated' baby was lying on a nearby bed, police said in the release. "Officers rushed to the front door and forced it open," Sergeant Brian Bower said in the news release. "Officers swiftly rescued the infant and met with Phoenix Fire personnel, who took the child to the hospital in serious condition." Police said the baby's health has since improved, and they are expected to make a 'full recovery' after receiving 'lifesaving care.' Bower praised the actions of the officers, telling KPHO, 'It's because of the smart, immediate actions of the officers as well as the neighbors seeing something unusual and calling in for help.' 'It wasn't learned until well after the fact from doctors and staff at the hospital that if the police officers didn't immediately provide aide and didn't immediately go into the apartment, the child may not have survived much longer,' he added. Authorities are still investigating the cause and manner of death for the mother, according to the news release. The Department of Child Safety is also helping investigators and the child's family.
