Asking  police to "leave their uniforms, weapons and vehicles behind"  isn't being unreasonable.  After all, the others aren't wearing anything.   Nothing wrong with funding Pride, but the arguments expose a deep racial fissure between blacks and others.  You see it on university campuses now as well.  The deep division was inevitable once the black power movements began demanding "inclusion" to mean a melting pot -- what multi-culturalism in Canada had meant to avoid.  Now we're just like the U.S., but more vulnerable because of feeling guilt.
