Slapping a rainbow sticker onto a policer cruiser doesn't suddenly make you an ally.
As it turns out this is a very live issue in Auckland, so much so that they were going to have two pride parades this year (similarly named) due to fracturing over the police in uniform question. One of the parades got postponed by a covid outbreak but the other one went on as scheduled I think.
