Get back to me when they are dragging him behind the horse.

For heaven’s sake folks.

There is nothing wrong with this, and we should say that loudly in public.

If this guy was White there wouldn’t be a single problem with it, other than the ACLU exploiting it.

To hell with them.

Please don’t pick up the mantle and carry it proudly, the one that says there is anything wrong with this.

The arrested man arrived at the jail without any harm.

That’s the point to be made, when the try to race-bait this issue.

It’s nothing new. After the 1900 hurricane, the survivors rounded up black people and made them burn dead bodies and load the corpses onto barges. So horrific were the tasks that the whites gave them liquor to help them endure their grisly nature.

And once the tide rolled back in, so did the barges.

Oh yea...these horses are well trained. The officer can ride up next to a person causing trouble and “sidepass” the horse to pin the individual. It's actually a sight to behold. lol

These horses are also desensitized to be able to withstand commotion/noise/assaults.

To shame them in public. It’s traditional.
Shame no longer exists in the US, which is a primary reason we're in the cultural $hit storm we're in.

Respect for the arrested who is innocent until court, respect for the uniform, respect for the department and city. So many ways this is wrong and offensive. City will pay.

“Nah, why read the article as the picture says everything I need to know.”

You really should read the article and see that your comments were superfluous.

What I read elsewhere is that the police chief is already out apologizing, saying the officers showed poor judgment and should have waited for a police car. As I suggested, they’ll be fired and gone next. Police chief may or may not survive, city will end up paying big time.

The officer should have dismounted and walked with the
arrested and let the other officer lead his horse. Then all
would be well.
