The group was headed to a Pride in the Park event at Coeur d'Alene City Park and had plans to riot, police said. Their security strategy entails a combination of local law enforcement, private security, de-escalation teams and infrastructure support from several local jurisdictions, she said. "This week marks six years since the Pulse tragedy, and we commemorate the loss of so many lives taken from us, Carolyn Wysinger, board president of San Francisco Pride told CNN in a statement. "Based on our existing safety plans we are not making any changes in response to this particular incident," NYC Pride spokesperson Dan Dimant told CNN in a statement. After two years of postponed Denver PrideFest events due to the pandemic, the organization said it's excited for this year's festivities.
