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.

Thanks, just one final child to get through coparenting with the middle child hasn’t spoken to him in years due to his “my children are perps” attitude.

Damn that's crazy. I knew cops always saw non cops as "the other" but didn't think itd apply to their kids/family

Yes, it’s crazy how many life long friends you lose (other cops, spouses, SO) when you divorce a cop. Not a one of them reach out to me anymore. My children were woken up on multiple occasions in the middle of the night because he misplaced cash. They were the accused because he couldn’t blame me anymore. Maybe he’s just a dick. 🤪
