How did a routine patrol in Newark turn into a violent attack on police officers. What led to the arrest of four men following the incident. How are city officials responding to address safety concerns in the area.
The Incident: A Routine Patrol Turns Violent
On Tuesday afternoon, what began as a routine patrol in Newark, New Jersey, quickly escalated into a violent confrontation between police officers and civilians. Body-worn camera footage has captured the intense moments of the attack, providing a stark visual account of the incident.
At approximately 1:30 p.m., two Newark police officers and a detective from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office were patrolling the area of Fabyan Place and Cypress Street. This area had been a focus of increased surveillance due to recent gun violence. The officers approached a group of men on the street, intending to stop one individual suspected of gun possession.
The Escalation
As the officers attempted to make an arrest, the situation rapidly deteriorated. Two brothers of the suspect arrived at the scene and physically interfered with the arrest procedure. The officers, finding themselves outnumbered, called for backup.
James Stewart, president of the Newark Fraternal Order of Police, provided a more detailed account of the events that unfolded. According to Stewart, the officers were “set upon by a mob of people” while trying to carry out their duties. He described a chaotic scene where officers were “pummeled to the ground, kicked in the head and choked.”
Body Camera Footage: A Visual Account of the Attack
The body-worn camera footage provides a chilling visual record of the attack. The video shows multiple men ambushing an officer, forcibly holding him against a fence. Another officer is seen being thrown to the ground. These images starkly illustrate the danger and volatility of the situation.
Damage to Equipment
In addition to the physical assault on the officers, Stewart reported that the attackers targeted the officers’ equipment. Body-worn cameras were forcibly removed from the officers and smashed on the ground, potentially destroying crucial evidence of the incident.
Arrests and Charges: Four Men Face Serious Allegations
Following the violent confrontation, four men were arrested in connection with the attack on the Newark police officers. The arrests occurred in two phases:
- Branden K. Rodwell, 31, of Newark, and Justin Rodwell, 30, of Irvington, were arrested at the scene of the incident.
- Jaykil A. Rodwell, 28, and Jasper D. Spivey, 24, both of Newark, were arrested the following day after voluntarily surrendering to police.
The charges against the arrested individuals are serious and multiple:
- Three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer
- Obstruction of the administration of the law
- Resisting arrest
- Hindering apprehension or prosecution (for Jaykil Rodwell and Jasper Spivey)
Injuries and Medical Treatment: Officers Hospitalized
The violent nature of the attack resulted in injuries to the police officers involved. Two officers were transported to University Hospital for treatment of complaints of pain. While the injuries were reported as minor, the incident highlights the physical risks faced by law enforcement personnel in the line of duty.
James Stewart reported that all three officers involved in the incident were injured and hospitalized, although official statements from the city only confirmed two officers being hurt. The discrepancy in these reports raises questions about the full extent of the injuries sustained during the attack.
Official Response: Addressing Safety Concerns
The attack on the Newark police officers has prompted a swift and multifaceted response from city officials. Newark Public Safety Director Brian A. O’Hara commended the officers for their handling of the situation, emphasizing that despite the violence, no civilians were injured during the incident.
Immediate Actions Taken
Under the direction of Mayor Ras Baraka, several immediate actions were taken to address safety concerns in the area:
- Two abandoned houses on the block were immediately demolished.
- Code Enforcement issued 17 summonses for violations of City Ordinances and quality of life issues.
- 17 vehicles were towed from the block due to abandonment or lack of registration.
- A mobile police precinct was established on the block where the incident occurred.
- An increased police presence was ordered around the clock in the area.
These actions demonstrate a comprehensive approach to improving safety and quality of life in the neighborhood, addressing not only the immediate incident but also underlying issues that may contribute to crime and disorder.
Community Impact: Balancing Law Enforcement and Community Relations
The violent attack on Newark police officers has significant implications for community-police relations in the city. Incidents of this nature can strain the delicate balance between effective law enforcement and community trust.
Challenges in Modern Policing
Newark Public Safety Director O’Hara acknowledged the challenges faced by law enforcement in the current social climate. He noted that similar minor incidents have resulted in unpredictable outcomes in other parts of the country. The fact that no civilians were injured during this violent confrontation was highlighted as a commendable achievement by the officers involved.
This incident raises important questions about the safety of both police officers and civilians during law enforcement activities. How can cities like Newark ensure the safety of their police force while maintaining positive community relations? What strategies can be employed to de-escalate potentially volatile situations during routine patrols and arrests?
Legal Proceedings and Ongoing Investigation
As the dust settles on this violent incident, attention now turns to the legal proceedings against the four arrested individuals. The charges they face are serious and could result in significant legal consequences if they are convicted.
The Role of Body Camera Footage
The body camera footage captured during the attack will likely play a crucial role in the legal proceedings. How will this visual evidence impact the case against the accused? What legal challenges might arise from the reported destruction of some of the body cameras during the attack?
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office taking a lead role. As more details emerge, a clearer picture of the events leading up to and during the attack may come to light.
Broader Implications for Urban Policing
The attack on Newark police officers is not an isolated incident but part of a broader conversation about urban policing in America. It highlights the dangers faced by law enforcement personnel and the complex dynamics at play in urban communities.
Balancing Safety and Community Trust
How can cities like Newark balance the need for proactive policing in high-crime areas with the importance of maintaining community trust? The incident on Fabyan Place and Cypress Street occurred during a patrol responding to recent gun violence in the area. This proactive approach led to a violent confrontation, raising questions about the most effective strategies for combating urban crime while minimizing risks to both officers and civilians.
The Role of Community Engagement
In the wake of this incident, community engagement will be crucial. How can Newark officials work to rebuild trust and cooperation between law enforcement and residents? What role can community leaders play in preventing future violent confrontations and promoting a safer environment for all?
The attack on Newark police officers serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing urban law enforcement. As the investigation continues and legal proceedings unfold, this incident will likely prompt ongoing discussions about police tactics, community relations, and urban safety strategies. The response from city officials, including immediate actions to address safety concerns, demonstrates a commitment to tackling these complex issues head-on.
WATCH: Body Camera Captures Attack On Newark Police Officers
Body-worn camera footage captured a violent attack on a pair of Newark police officers that led to the arrest of four men earlier this week.
Officers and an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office detective were patrolling Fabyan Place and Cypress Street and approached a man who was thought to be in possession of a gun around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Newark Public Safety Director Brian A. O’Hara said.
That’s when the suspect’s two brothers came to the scene and physically interfered with the arrest.

Two police officers were transported to University Hospital for treatment of complaints of pain.
Branden K. Rodwell, 31, of Newark, and Justin Rodwell, 30, of Irvington, were arrested at the scene.
Jaykil A. Rodwell, 28, and Jasper D. Spivey, 24, both of Newark, were arrested on Wednesday, after voluntarily surrendering to police following issuances of arrest warrants for each on charges related to this incident, O’Hara said.
Branden Rodwell and Justin Rodwell each face charges of three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer, obstruction of the administration of the law and resisting arrest.
Jaykil Rodwell and Jasper Spivey each face charges of three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer, obstruction of the administration of the law and hindering apprehension or prosecution.
“In today’s climate, where similarly minor incidents have resulted in unpredictable outcomes, our officers ensured that not one of the civilians involved was injured, and that is highly commendable,” O’Hara said.
“Under the direction of Mayor Baraka, two abandoned houses were immediately torn down and Code Enforcement issued 17 summonses for violations of City Ordinances and quality of life issues,” he added, noting 17 vehicles were towed from the block either to abandonment or to being unregistered.
Baraka directed that a mobile police precinct be immediately established on that block and that an increased police presence be felt around the clock.
The investigation is ongoing. Any questions related to this investigation should be referred to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

‘Mob’ pummeled, choked, kicked NJ cops trying to make arrest
By Chris Sheldon
nj.com
NEWARK, N.J. — A union head said a violent scene played out in Newark Tuesday afternoon when multiple police officers attempting to make an arrest were attacked and injured by a group of alleged assailants.
Two Newark Police officers and a detective from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office were patrolling the area of Fabyan Place and Cypress Street around 1:30 p.m. in response to recent gun violence in that area, when they approached a group of men on the street and attempted to stop one man who was suspected of gun possession, Newark Public Safety Director Brian O’Hara told NJ Advance Media.
Two brothers of the suspect came to the scene and “physically interfered” with the arrest and the officers called for backup, O’Hara said. Two officers were injured while attempting to make the arrest, officials said.
The officers were taken to University Hospital with minor injuries and were later released, O’Hara said. No other injuries were reported.
James Stewart, president of the Newark Fraternal Order of Police, described the alleged incident in more detail. He said three officers working in Newark were “set upon by a mob of people” while trying to make the arrest.
“Our officers were pummeled to the ground, kicked in the head and choked,” Stewart told NJ Advance Media. “Body worn cameras were forcibly removed and smashed on the ground by the suspects.”
Stewart said all three officers were injured and were hospitalized while the city only confirmed two were hurt. O’Hara also did not comment on how the officers were injured.
“I am especially thankful that the officers involved were very intentional about resolving the incident as peacefully as possible,” O’Hara said. “They were clearly in danger. But because of their exceptional restraint, not one of the suspects involved was injured. The performance of these officers is commendable, especially in today’s climate, where similarly minor incidents have resulted in unpredictable outcomes.”
Branden K. Rodwell, 31, of Newark, and Justin Rodwell, 30, of Irvington, were arrested at the scene, O’Hara said. Jaykil A. Rodwell, 28, and Jasper D. Spivey, 24, both of Newark, were arrested Wednesday after surrendering to police following issuances of arrest warrants for each on “charges related to this incident,” he said.
Branden and Justin Rodwell each face charges of three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer, obstruction of the administration of the law, and resisting arrest, police said. Jaykil Rodwell and Spivey each face charges of three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer, obstruction of the administration of the law and hindering apprehension or prosecution.
It is unclear if a gun was recovered from the scene. Newark police declined to immediately release body camera footage of the incident.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
A spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said the agency led the investigation and was involved in the arrest of the four people that were charged.
Stewart praised the “restraint” of the officers involved and said they were “lucky” to walk away with injuries that allowed them to leave the hospital only a few hours later.
“This mentality that people do not have to abide by the law, this complete lack of respect for law enforcement must end,” Stewart said in a statement to NJ Advance Media. “I look forward to the statement from the Mayor of Newark demanding a full investigation and imploring the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office to devote their full resources to the apprehension and conviction of every single person involved in this attack on these officers.”

New Jersey police officers injured by ‘mob’ during arrest attempt; suspects apprehended unharmed: report
Two Newark, N.J., police officers and an Essex County detective were allegedly jumped by a mob while trying to make a firearms arrest Tuesday, according to a police union.
Four men in their 20s and 30s were arrested in connection with the incident, two at the scene and two later in the week.
The officers were “pummeled, kicked in the head and choked by a violent mob,” according to the National Fraternal Order of Police.
“Despite the rising, targeted violence against the brave men & women of law enforcement, they continue to protect and serve,” the organization tweeted Wednesday. “We can’t #Defund this type of heroism and dedication.”
The officers called for backup and exercised restraint during the struggle, Newark Fraternal Order of Police President James Stewart told local media. He did not immediately return a Fox News call requesting comment.

“I am especially thankful that the officers involved were very intentional about resolving the incident as peacefully as possible,” Newark Public Safety Director Brian O’Hara told NJ Advance Media. “They were clearly in danger, but because of their exceptional restraint, not one of the suspects involved was injured. The performance of these officers is commendable, especially in today’s climate, where similarly minor incidents have resulted in unpredictable outcomes.”

The officers, however, sustained minor injuries and were briefly hospitalized.
Two brothers of the firearms suspect tried to stop the arrest, according to the report. Stewart told NJ.com that the officers were thrown to the ground, and their bodycams were torn off and smashed.
Four men face three counts apiece of aggravated assault of police officer, as well as other charges.
They were identified as Newark residents Branden Rodwell, 31, Jaykil Rodwell, 28, and Jasper Spivey, 24, as well as Justin Rodwell, 30, of Irvington.

“This mentality that people do not have to abide by the law, this complete lack of respect for law enforcement must end,” Stewart told the news outlet. “I look forward to the statement from the mayor of Newark demanding a full investigation.”
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, the son of the late radical poet Amiri Baraka, did not respond to a Fox News request for comment.
According to the national FOP, ambush-style attacks on officers are up 50% so far this year compared to the same period in 2020.
At least 128 officers had been shot around the country between Jan. 1 and June 1, according to the organization. Twenty-six of those officers died as a result. And 27 ambush-style attacks resulted in 35 officers shot.
Newark Police share body cam footage showing officers ‘attacked’
NEWARK — Body camera footage has been released showing the chaos involving several men interfering with city police officers during an arrest last week.
The roughly two minutes of body camera footage released late Friday night shows several men grappling with at least two police officers, as one officer can be heard repeatedly urging them to stop.
At one point, a body camera is knocked from the officer’s uniform and then kicked away while pointing up from the sidewalk.
When footage resumes, backup officers have arrived and continue to struggle putting handcuffs on at least one of the individuals.
The video clip posted by Newark Police to Youtube and Facebook is titled “Police Video Shows Cops Were Attacked at Fabyan Place and Cypress Street Tuesday.”
Two officers were treated for reports of pain following the incident and four men were arrested within a two-day span and charged with aggravated assault against a police officer.
Newark Public Safety Director Brian O’Hara applauded the actions of the officers involved while also thanking Mayor Ras Baraka for his quick response, which included orders to knock down two abandoned houses and tow 17 vehicles that were violating laws on the same city block.
Baraka also ordered that a mobile police precinct be set up there for an increased police presence.
Branden K. Rodwell, 31, of Newark, and Justin Rodwell, 30, of Irvington, were both arrested at the scene on June 1.
Jaykil A. Rodwell, 28, and Jasper D. Spivey, 24, both of Newark, were arrested on Wednesday.
Branden Rodwell and Justin Rodwell each face three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer, in addition to obstruction of the administration of the law and resisting arrest.
Jaykil Rodwell and Jasper Spivey each face three counts of aggravated assault against a police officer, as well as obstruction of the administration of the law and hindering apprehension or prosecution.
“They used extraordinary restraint even while it is clear from the video that the officers were out-numbered and that they were attacked while attempting to make an arrest,” O’Hara said in a written statement on Friday.
“We cannot and will not standby and allow police officers, who are sworn to safeguard our streets, to be physically attacked for doing their job,” he also said.

Feature: The making of James Justin – News
One Sky Bet League Two promotion, one League One winner’s medal, two Luton Town Young Player of the Season Awards, a place in the 2018/19 PFA Team of the Season and now, an FA Cup winner’s medal with Leicester City.
After looking through James Justin’s career honours, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that he is still only 23 years old. It’s quite a list of achievements for the Hatters academy graduate.
Naturally talented and technically gifted, the versatile defender has risen through the ranks since making his professional debut in League Two five years ago, achieving plenty along the way. Now competing at the highest level on the Premier League stage, his is a story worth celebrating.
Luton born and bred, Justin’s EFL journey began in May 2016, but the signs of his potential had been evident long before his introduction to professional football.
Having joined the club in 2005, the defender first tasted success in a Hatters shirt as early as 2009, where he was part of the Under-11 team that famously defeated Bayern Munich 3-2 to win the Aarau Masters. After receiving an early call-up to the U18 side – aged just 16 – and establishing himself as a key figure in the Development Squad, Justin was part of a side that went on to become champions of the Central League Southern Division, win the Youth Alliance South East title and lift the Youth Alliance Cup. In the very same season, they also reached the Quarter-Finals of the FA Youth Cup. An impressive campaign for Luton’s next generation of rising young stars, who had deservedly caught the eye.
There’s no doubt that the future looked bright, particularly for Justin, who had been tipped by staff to become a future first-team fans’ favourite. And they were right.
The defender made more than 100 Luton appearances before signing for Premier League Leicester in the summer of 2019, his rise something to be proud of.
“I’m not sure it’s sunk in that I’m a Premier League player yet,” says Justin, speaking exclusively to the EFL.
“It’s quite surreal, because it’s something I’ve been working towards my entire life and now I’m here, hopefully this is just the start.”
Justin’s professional debut for the Hatters came as an 18-year-old, on the final day of the 2015/16 League Two season, ironically on the very same day that Leicester famously lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time in their history. Little did he know that, just a few years on, he’d be wearing the Leicester City shirt and competing in the Premier League himself…
“I remember coming on as a substitute towards the end of the game,” he recalls. “It was okay, it was just one substitute appearance, but it was the start. I knew that, going into the next pre-season, I had something to build on and work towards.”
Justin’s potential continued to be noted and, in the 2016/17 campaign, the defender truly burst onto the scene for Luton, becoming not only a regular for the side, but arguably one of their best players too, despite being just 19 years of age.
Thirty-nine first-team appearances in League Two earned him a new contract at the club, and although Luton lost out in the Play-Off Semi-Finals to Blackpool that season, a first professional goal and a Young Player of the Season Award made it a campaign to remember for Justin. It was to be just the beginning, with those first steps in professional football just a sign of things to come.
The following season saw Justin – and Luton – go from strength to strength under the guidance of Nathan Jones. The defender was disciplined, positionally intelligent and – having featured in numerous positions throughout the campaign – one of the most versatile players in the league.
“That’s always been a key aspect of my game,” he continues. “I always used to be a central midfielder, but I remember playing in the U18s once and the right-back was injured. I had to fill in for him and that was that. Since then, I’ve played left-back, right-back, centre-back and in midfield.”
Mature beyond his years, here was a player very much on the up.
Automatic promotion at the end of the season marked a huge achievement for Luton, as their rise back up the EFL began, with Justin more than playing his part. After just one season competing in League One, a second promotion followed as the Hatters returned to the Championship for the first time since the 2006/07 season.
“It was really crazy to be playing for Luton at that time, it was a special time for the club. When I got into the team, I was content with just being in the team, but then, as time goes on you want more and I wanted to push the club forward and I wanted to achieve promotion.
“In my first full season, I remember losing in the Play-Off Semi-Finals to Blackpool – that was a really bitter pill to swallow. We knew the following season that we had to go one better and win automatic promotion, which is what we did. We always felt that we were one of the best teams in the division, and we felt that when we got promoted to League One as well
“He [Jones] had such a belief in us as players, even when we were pushing for promotion to the Championship. That’s the mindset that we had throughout and we got there.”
Following two promotions in as many seasons, coupled with an array of individual accolades, Justin’s mature and composed performances saw him become one of the most sought-after players in the EFL, and it wasn’t long before the Premier League came calling. A club-record move to Leicester City ended his 13-year association with the Hatters, as he prepared for life in the top flight
“It was a bit crazy, to be honest. I was only playing in League One at the time, so to have Leicester come in for me was a real honour.
“I remember having a meeting with Brendan Rodgers and I was overwhelmed by how well he came across. I know how good he is with developing young players and that’s the main reason I wanted to sign for them.”
Having played more than 100 games for Luton during his time at the club, the EFL experience has no doubt proved pivotal in Justin’s ongoing development, and he was quick to thank – and praise – Luton for their role in his rise on and off the pitch.
“I’ve grown up in Luton all my life,” he says. “I came through the Luton Town Academy and they’ve been there for me throughout my entire career. I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for me. I wouldn’t be where I was today without them; they gave me first-team football and helping them get back to the Championship was one of my main goals as a youngster, so thankfully I helped them do that before I left.
“When you come through the academy and you play first-team games or you win promotions and you have success, the end goal is always to play as high as possible, more often than not in the Premier League.”
It was a well-earned move for Justin who, having made the step up, featured 18 times for the former Premier League champions in his debut season. But, by his own admission, it was no easy transition.
“I did find it quite hard initially,” he admits. “It took me a couple of months to get tuned into the way Leicester played and trained. I was training with some of the best players in the world and I had to work hard to adapt to that. I knew I would get there because I had the mindset to succeed, but both mentally and physically it was tough.”
When handed his debut by Brendan Rodgers in a Carabao Cup fixture, however – against none other than Luton Town – the youngster made no mistake in taking his chance. Away at Kenilworth Road – the place where Justin’s professional career began – how fitting that he should record his first-ever Leicester City goal in front of the Luton faithful. A special moment – albeit bitter sweet – and one he’s unlikely to forget.
“It was crazy,” Justin says, reflecting on his return. “As soon as we drew them in the cup, I was really looking forward to the game. I can’t believe that’s the game that I scored my first goal. I got a really nice reception from the fans, even when I scored.
“I wanted to show that I was ready for a Premier League club and I like to think I’ve done that, it’s just a shame I had to score against my old team in the process! It’s definitely one of those moments that I won’t ever forget.”
Fast forward to 2020/21 and Justin stepped up a gear once more, making 31 appearances in all competitions for the Foxes and becoming one of their most consistent performers. Until an ACL injury ruled him out for the rest of the season, he had in fact played more games than anybody else in City’s first-team squad, earning many plaudits along the way.
“My performances definitely went up a gear, but that came with the experience of playing more games. Last season, I played 10 or so league games at the back end of the campaign and they definitely helped mould me into the player I was at the start of this season just gone.”
In what was becoming a standout campaign for the 23-year-old, many had also tipped him for a first senior England call-up before being side-lined.
This season hasn’t been without success however, and Justin’s name is firmly in the history books following Leicester’s famous FA Cup triumph at Wembley Stadium earlier this year.
He may have missed the Final through injury, but he more than played his part in the club’s cup-winning campaign, scoring what he describes as “the best goal of my career” in the first round against Stoke City.
“I’m proud to have written my name in Leicester’s history where the FA Cup is concerned, even though I didn’t play in the Final. When I scored that goal in the first round, it was incredible, definitely the best goal of my career so far.”
No fewer than four times between 1949 and 1969 had the Leicester City faithful seen their side fall at the final hurdle while bidding to win the oldest cup competition. In more recent years, however, they have been starved of even the hope of lifting the trophy, having not appeared in the last four since 1982, or indeed the Final for 52 years.
So, for this current crop of players to achieve such a feat, makes it even more triumphant. The outpour of emotion at the full-time whistle was clear to see. Players sunk to their knees, overcome by the achievement, as they celebrated one of the most memorable days in the club’s 137-year history.
“You don’t actually realise until you’re in that position quite how much it means to the club, the fans and yourself, and how big the occasion is. I’m so proud to have that winner’s medal, it’s amazing.”
Still only 23 years of age, Justin has done things that many can only aspire to achieve, growing into a player that has more than earned his place in the Premier League. But, like so many others before him, where would he be without those EFL experiences, and just where do they rank in his career?
“The best of my life,” he answers. “And some of the most important, too. Luton turned me from a boy into a man. I had to grow up very quickly and learn on the spot in the EFL, and with the help of the players around me and the manager too, I was able to do that.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Nathan Jones and the way he looked after me and mentored me. He always told me that I’d be a Premier League player. I didn’t necessarily believe him at the time, but he knew how to help get me there. He’s one of the reasons why I am where I am today.
“I’ll never forget my time at Luton and how much it helped me become the player I am. Hopefully, I won’t be the last player to make the jump.”

The history of Equality Marches dates back to from 1969 after a police raid in New York’s gay bar Stonewall Inn, which ended in clashes and mass arrests.Then thousands of indignant people went to a demonstration against the actions of law enforcement agencies and resisted the repression.

Equality March in Kiev: history
The first pride in history
The history of Equality Marches starts in 1969, when a police raid took place in Stonewall Inn gay bar in New York, which ended in clashes and mass arrests.Then, thousands of outraged LGBT representatives came out to demonstrate against the actions of law enforcement agencies and resisted repression.

These events were the first time in history when people resisted the state-legalized system of persecution of sexual minorities. Subsequently, the demonstrations were called the Stonewall Riots, which became one of the symbols of the struggle of the LGBT movement for civil rights.This uprising gave impetus to the development of numerous LGBT organizations.
Stonewall Riots sparked the World Equality Marches
In the same year, LGBT activist Craig Rodwell proposed at a conference to celebrate Stonewall’s anniversary annually with a massive march. So in 1970, the first ever gay pride took place – activists came out against criminal prosecution and discrimination.
LGBT prides in the world
Subsequently, the initiative was taken up by Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto, Los Angeles and San Francisco.In 1978, during the 8th Gay Pride in San Francisco, the now famous rainbow flag, designed by artist Gilbert Baker, was hoisted.
Justin Trudeau personally raised the LGBT rainbow flag
In the same year, the first LGBT demonstration took place in Europe, specifically in London. Then there was Paris (1971), Berlin (1979) and Dublin (1983). This is how Equality Marches began to be held in the world.
In different countries prides are called differently. In Germany and Switzerland they are called “Christopher Street Day”, in Latvia it is “Friendship Days”, in Austria – “Rainbow Parade”, and in the Netherlands – “Pink Saturday”.
Pride in Istanbul, Turkey
Also, each country also has its own specific form of holding. It can be both a festival and a parade, a meeting or a march, a fair, a picnic or a carnival holiday. In Ukraine and Russia, this is usually a human rights demonstration.

By the way, the “Amsterdam Gay Pride” is held in the capital of the Netherlands – decorated platform ships sail along the water channels of the city.This event supports the city’s power.

Over time, LGBT parades began to be held in many countries of the Americas, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, Turkey, Israel, India and other countries …
One of the largest gay prides in the world is Europride in São Paulo, Brazil – millions of LGBT people take to the streets.
Europride in Brazilian Sao Paulo is one of the largest in the world
Gay prides in the USA
There are still many opponents of such marches in America, but despite this, the LGBT community in the USA has achieved the fact that the authorities have passed three federal laws to protect the rights of representatives.
The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, made a significant contribution – it was during his rule that the White House appointed a record number of LGBT people to government positions. Among them: the governor, judges, diplomats and Pentagon leaders.
In Washington, the Pride has become more of a march of freedom – people do not need to hide their differences and be afraid of persecution.
Pride in Canada
In Canada, the authorities also went to meet the LGBT community – since 2005, same-sex marriage has been legalized here, and couples also have the right to adoption.
Every year large-scale prides are held here, which are also supported by officials. In particular, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau personally raised the LGBT flag in front of the federal parliament and took part in the pride parade with the whole family.
Justin Trudeau took part in the pride
Australia: Sydney Mardi Gras
Australia has something to brag about. Since 1978, one of the most famous LGBT festivals in the world has been held here. This year it will be the 39th Sydney Mardi Gras.
We add that in 2016, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull became the first head of government to attend the LGBT festival. He also supports the holding of a same-sex marriage referendum.
Sydney Mardi Gras in Australia
Christopher Street Day in Germany
One of the largest gay pride parades in Europe takes place in Cologne, Germany. The so-called “Christopher Street Day” dates back to 1979, when the pride was held in Berlin.
Let us add that a number of influential local politicians do not hide their unconventional orientation.
Among them are the burgomaster of Berlin Klaus Wowereit, a member of the Bundestag from the “Green” party and the first governor of the Bundestag Volker Beck, the head of the German Foreign Ministry in 2009-2013 Guido Westerwelle.
Marche de Fiertes in France
France is considered one of the most liberal countries when it comes to the rights of LGBT people – since 1985, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation has been banned.In 2013, then President François Hollande signed a decree that same-sex couples have the right to freely marry and adopt children.
Mass LGBT procession called “Marche where Fiertes” annually gathers at least half a million people.

Attacks on LGBT Pride participants
In some countries, gay prides still cause mixed reactions. In particular, in Poland in Warsaw, a large “Equality Parade” is held annually, which is guarded by many police officers in order to avoid provocations from radical nationalist organizations.And after the victory of the right-wing conservative forces in the 2015 parliamentary elections, discussions about the rights of sex minorities almost died down.
In Ukraine , KievPride was founded in 2012, which was thwarted by religious contraction and attacks from radicals. In many cities of the country, protests against the pride were held. Despite this, the activists were persistent and every year the situation with the holding of prides in Kiev is improving.
“KievPride” is gaining momentum every year
The Moscow Gay Pride started in 2006 on Russia , and in 2013 the authorities adopted a federal law banning “propaganda of homosexuality”.
In 2008, this pride united with LGBT activists from Belarus – this is how the “Slavic Gay Pride” emerged, which events take place in Moscow and Minsk. In 2011, the Pride was suppressed by riot police, then more than 60 people were detained.
But despite all the oppression in certain countries, the LGBT community is winning a place in the sun with small steps every year.

Josh also impresses Tyrone by inviting them and other street residents to remember Luke by hosting a charity boxing match in his honor.
In the months that followed, Josh became friends with David, and they often hung out and drank together. This initially causes problems in David’s relationship with his girlfriend Shauna Ramsey (Julia Golding).However, Shona eventually accepts their friendship. When Shauna, David, and Josh are drinking in a pub with some of their neighbors, Shauna comments on the chemistry between Josh and Aliya Nazir (Sair Khan).

Josh judges the fight and taunts David during the break. David snaps and beats Gary savagely in front of the shocked crowd. Josh doesn’t try to stop the fight.

Driving away from Josh into an alley, David tells him that he took him to the police station and demands that he surrender to the police. Josh, terrified, pleads with David not to ruin his life, saying that he can’t do it in prison. He goes on to say that he will be branded as a rapist and most likely put on the register. This satisfies David enough to show that they are not near the police station. Having received a closure, despite Josh not directly confessing to the rape, David leaves, leaving Josh behind.

Josh finally confesses to the police that he lied and that Abe and Tez stabbed him.It is unknown what happened, but it is assumed that he was accused of a perverse administration of justice.
After David is released from prison, Billy tells him that Josh was charged with another rape episode and David is relieved.
