Police are public servants, not just enforcers. If this officer wants to blindly follow orders like a robot, maybe he should enlist in the military. There's no reason AT ALL he couldn't have directed Scott out of the parking lot when it was safe, but he chose to put a parade held on a weekday ahead of the needs of a legitimate business and their employees. If these cops were told to taze anyone attempting to cross the parade route they probably would have.
