Police said the officers and their horses were just doing their job.

BS!!!

A rider is responsible for controlling his horse.

The horse was not out of control I am sure. Horses don’t want to step on people or anything else that obstructs their path. The woman must have gotten off the sidewalk inadvertently.

Having been ranch raised and been riding horses for a living a good part of my life I know that there is part of this story left untold.
A horse naturally will step over an object as large as a person. I doubt seriously that the horse kicked the lady. The horses they use are about as bomb proof as they come. All of my experience tells me that the rider was in control and moved the horse into this lady as part of crowd control. It is damn near impossible not to hear or see a horse and rider approaching. I've tried to sneak up on cows and other horses thousands of times, it never works. There is something wrong with this story and taking it to mean that the horse did this all on it's own is absurd.
