It all seems a bit heavily coded to me, considering police officers are in no way restricted from marching in the parade.
It's great that pride is all-inclusive. It's got a history in protest though, and I feel like that should be remembered.
It's a job, not an identity. Please stop pretending "police officer" is anything more than that. If you think it is, it shouldn't be.

And that's the thing that raises a huge red flag for me. If being invited into the parade paramount to you respecting and accepting the LGBTQ2S community, then you're not really that much of an ally.
