Well, heres the thing.
It's been repeatedly brought up how uncomfortable and to many inappropriate it is to have uniformed officers march at Pride events. And every. Damned. Time the cops have thrown an absolute shitfit and forced the issue.
Does that sound like a 'public display of tolerance and inclusion'? Railroading over the top of a community for their own ends? The more they push, the more it looks like Sending A Message.
Interesting - that context isn't presented to us here in Melbourne, at least not that I've seen. If that's the case, then this starts to make more sense for sure. Thanks for explaining it.
The context of contention re: cops at pride? It's definitely A Thing, any member of the Community will give you a very loud opinion on it lol
