I'm sorry, but unless ALL floats get an escort of 2 police officers throughout the parade then such discrimination can no be tolerated under the 1st Amendment. And since I doubt the town has that many police officers they have no choice but to refuse to provide police escort to a single float lest it be seen as discrimination and thus a violation of the 1st Amendment. If discrimination isn't allowed, then they can not discriminate in police escort either. Can't have it both ways.
