    i have the vague sense that I’m too much of a city person to truly grasp how horrifying that is.

    Like I know that people have been trampled to death by horses and I know that a horse is damn heavy, but my brain still struggles to decide if this is attempted murder on screen or not.

    (I posted this in another thread)

    There was yet another incident of horse-involved police brutality posted to reddit this morning:

    And then they let him get up so that they can violently throw him back onto the ground.

      They’re all so ready to put their training into practise. Disturbed predisposed violent small men are absolutely gagging to flex on anyone in any situation they can. Fuck all cops.

    Leave it to cops to synergize animal abuse and lethal force against someone who’s unarmed and lying on the ground.

    If that horse was injured from doing that, watch the victim catch a felony charge for assaulting an officer.

    ACAB.

    This is no less than attempted murder.

      Everyone involved will get paid leave for a job well done. America is a corporate dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”.

    Great use of resources, beat up one dude with like 30 cops in riot gear while nobody else is around. They’re trying to make these LA protests seem like a war zone. I watched the live videos and there were maybe 100 people protesting, and it was obvious that the police escalated the situation. And now they’re trying to paint it as some lawless o protest thats turned into a war zone. Don’t let them drive the narrative! None of that is true.
