Denver Mounted Police circle their horses around arrestee

[mtharbison]

Were they chanting "we don't shower?"

[VolParagom]

God, stupid fucking hippies...Let the damn officers do their job.

[imbackteslacoils2001]

next time the crowd should bring horses!

[GWBsucksMonkeyNuts]

did they let him go?

[Adamguy2003]

No, or least not right then. He was taken into custody.

[MrBILLOHNOO]

its exciting when someone touches a red hot cigar or personal taser to cop horses ass--the horse will rear up in the air and try to dump the pig on his back

its better than the movies

1. You're a dick. Crude, lawless cowards like you give activists a bad name.

2. I thought lefties like you hated abuse of animals. Doing that to a poor horse would be so heartless and cruel.

3. Doing such a thing to an officer would give the police the right to use lethal force against you. In other words, if you even attempt to assault a cop or his horse with a dangerous enough weapon (i.e. a taser), they could shoot you dead where you stand, and it would be deemed lawful and justifiable.

because it is easier to crush the worthless POS liberals  with 1500 pounds under them ...

i woulda just shot them all but thats me

Here's a puzzler...why do policemen still need horses in the 21st Century?

[tjexcite]

Horses are still one of the best at crowd control.

[bluebettle]

Not to mention it can help them stop the notorious Black Bart.

[wastedbandwidth]

because titanium "hover-horses" aren't available until the 22nd century?

[wingman552]

maybe soon they will be, armed with void sheilds and miniguns

[Adamguy2003]

1. It gives the mounted police officers higher ground.

2. Horses are strong enough to push through protestor blockades.

3. The psychological factor. The sight of a mounted officer riding quickly towards them would probably make most of the anarchist/ communist punks here turn tail and run, probably in need of a change of underwear.

What are they gonna do? Ride your mom?
