Why no cops?

In the US cops:

Take trans kids away from supportive parents in states with laws against that
Selectively target LGBT people for unequal enforcement of often unconstitutional laws (ex: obscenity laws)
Disproportionately use force against trans people (more than 1/4th according to the ACLU).

Imagine how much it would fuck you up if a cop kicked you around, threw you in lockup with the wrong gender, and then you see the shit stain getting paid to be at Pride.

And just being there, getting paid to do nothing is the best you can hope for. Plenty of times they just watch bigots harass or attack the people at Pride and either do nothing or arrest the victims.

Cops who want to come to Pride out of uniform on their own time because they’re LGBT+ or whatever, most people don’t care about that.

Shower grade thought: whatever protest or manifestation proud boys might do, with firearms in plain view, nobody is going to even notice. Pride, BLM or similar if there’s guns for actual self defense rather than intimidation? How big of a bloodbath would it to turn into?
