Fight at parade averted

Thanks to the security officer at on Collins Avenue and Seventh Street on Miami Beach for stepping in and deescalating an issue between individuals following the Gay Pride parade on Sunday.

He was calm, resolute and had the individual’s friends remove him from the confrontation. He helped preserve an otherwise peaceful, celebratory day.

Denise Monahan Cohen, Miami Beach
