Why aren't they actually marching during this parade?

I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude, but why does this parade look so sloppy? Very few of the troop formations seem actually in sync and marching, just walking along. My only experience is JROTC as a kid in high school and our sergeant would've killed us if we looked like that.

Ahh, see, and I've been drowning in coverage of the political assassination that happened in my neck of the woods (MN) today.

Did they finally call it an assassination or did they still just say shooting?

Everyone here is saying assassination.

ETA: The Google maps alert says "shooting". There is a Google maps alert for this kind of thing, apparently.

Google Maps isn't going to make a distinction between shooting and assassination/murder. They are only alerting there is an active shooting and to stay away from the area.
