Then I can certainly see how police have created this problem for themselves, in Edmonton and in Toronto.
If you're in uniform, being paid, on duty ... then you are not just participating in the parade. So stand aside and monitor for any problems, like police always do at parades.
If you're an off duty officer and just participating in the parade for personal reasons, don't wear a uniform.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't pretend to be participants when you're really on duty policing the participants.
BLM was right.
That kind of mentality creates division in the world. This entire fiasco is the fault of the Shades of Colour group. They tried to bully the Pride group, and arguably extort money from them. If they did not get what they wanted, they would almost certainly have interrupted the Pride march for their own personal agenda.
After reading their demands, I am convinced they are either delusional or mentally ill. This was never a Police issue. It was an extortion attempt that backfired.
