NYPD Chief Slams NYC Pride Parade’s Policy On Cops

The New York Daily News reports:

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Saturday doubled down in her criticism of the Pride March organizer’s decision to ban the NYPD’s Gay Officers Action League from participating in the annual event in New York City.
