Nick Morgan trampled by police horse at Presidential Debate

Shocking video shows former Army Sergeant Nick Morgan at the moment his head is crushed to the sidewalk under the hooves of a police horse.

Morgan lost consciousness immediately as bones shattered in his face. Visibly bleeding, he was tugged, dragged, arrested, and thrown in a police van, where other arrested veterans say he was denied medical attention. When he eventually made it to Nassau County Hospital, he was handcuffed to a gurney and given a prescription for Motrin and antibiotics.

Ironically, Morgan and other members of Iraq Veterans Against the War had come to the October debates with the intention of asking candidates pointed questions about lack of care for veterans.
