PHOENIX – A disturbance broke out Saturday afternoon during a protest of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration policies when a group of marchers allegedly threw water bottles and other items at police officers.

Lt. Pat Hofmann of the Phoenix Police Department says officers used pepper spray as they tried to separate protesters from an officer on horseback who was trying to take away the bottles and got crowded by the protesters.

Four people were detained, and Hofmann says one is expected to be charged with aggravated assault on a police officer.

The “organizer” was on the tube last night saying they were going to have 10,000 to 20,000 there. The AP was being kind by saying that it appears they got almost 5,000. They were busing useful idiots and troublemakers in from out of state. What a flop. Losers.

I guess the mounted officer got overwhelmed.

But you have to teach your horse this stuff for emergencies:

Capriole in reverse gear

There aren't many mobs that will hang around after 2-3 of their number get an equine uppercut in the face. That's what the Lipizzaner moves were originally intended for - warfare.

(the horse isn't an App - it's a Danish Knabstrupper)

Maybe they were the right wing, hate monger, tea party Conservatives Nancy Pelosi was worried about becoming violent.

It is a very good rule of thumb to never, ever mess with a police animal.
Some police officers won’t even get upset if you scuffle with them a little. But if you mess with their dogs or horses, the gloves come off.

Pippi Longstocking's horse was a Knabstrupper!

They are a heavy-ish Warmblood, traditionally bred just for the spots (like Apps) so they tended to be coarse, especially in front, but they are being refined and used as dressage and combined training horses now.

I still prefer the T'breds, no fancy colors for me . . . .

Nah. I've lived in Haiti. By and large Haitians are good people, kind and gentle, hardworking and honest.

Usual problem with young men in a lawless environment. But if they can ever get a decent government in place that problem can be solved.

An acquaintance of mine spent a night in a NOLA gaol for petting a cop's horse one Mardi Gras.

Knabstruppers are spotted horses from Europe.
