It depends on the mission. if you're there just to watch the parade, you're supposed to face the principal. If you're there to guard from danger, you're supposed to face the danger, and stay between it and the principal. Since there was no actual danger, and they damned well knew that, I'm going with "they were giving the motorcade the finger".
So clearly they didn't get all the white supremacist right wing extremists weeded out of the occupation detail!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
