Why the fuck do the police still use horses?
Are there still bandits in the wild west robbing steam trains?
Not surprising at all, there's been so many cop brutality incidents over the years. Off the top of my head, a cop broke the arm of an elderly woman with dementia and the cops laughed and joked about it. There was another case where the cops make a man crawl on floor before executing him. People don't just become monsters overnight. They've been trained over the years to behave this way.
The job also attracts monsters and that’s who they want to hire
Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won't move.
That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.
The police representative blandly spouting copaganda and saying how much the LAPD cares about safeguarding lives, while a protestor is currently getting hit with batons and run over by horses, is the most US thing I've ever seen.
What about this?
And of course some woman is screeming "Oh my god" repeatedly. Really helping the situation here madam.
Those Nazis are attempting murder.
looking at how even the horses are disobeying being forced to harm people - we can conclude that calling cops animals is not appropriate - ghouls and psychopaths seems more adequate but don't let me stop you from listing all other fitting names you can think of:
Watched this live all day at work. So much of this shit went on. The whole thing with CHP trapped under the overpasses was set up to be a massacre, but the protestors didn't kill them.
No commander in his right mind would trap their troops on low ground like that unless it was a sacrifice.

Or they know the violent threat they're using as justification is total fiction.
Disgusting. ACAB.
From AXN live stream earlier today
See the signpost in the middle
Hell yea. That shot is almost poetic. Hopefully the protestors can stay as safe as they can in the face of the fascist crackdown.
There was yet another incident of horse-involved police brutality posted to reddit this morning:
Arent you guys supposed to have weapons in case a tyranical government or something like that?
The arming was (and remains) mainly about keeping the US settler garrison empowered to carry out indigenous eviction, and keeping non-white populations under control. Not protecting from a tyrannical government.
You can see that when those groups did try to arm themselves, such as the Black panthers or the American Indian Movement, laws were passed and repression carried out to disarm them.
Highly recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Loaded, the disarming history of the second amendment for more on this. You can find the audiobook on torrents.
Thanks for the reading recomendation, will look into it. Yeah, times of crisis are really fast destroyers of lies, such as that the ruling classes would allow the ruled to arm against them. If the propaganda meltdown was in turbo mode after israel started the genocide, a civil conflict inside the us will give it a spaceship engine
How can we as a society tolerate this?
Because the bulk of society in the US, the working class, has no say in the matter.
When criminals wear badges.
The police badge is the most common gang sign that I regularly see.
As someone raised in LA I think this is the first time I've actually seen police on horses. Where in the protests did that particular one happen?
Those aren’t cops, those are murders.
How many of you up in arms now didn't vote to keep that orange fucker out of power?
This is the America you all bought while chortling like retards to TikTok hoes instead of getting your asses into gear and defeating fascism with your vote.
Kamala feels the same about protestors.
The US is not a democracy.
Yuuuuup. Same shit different can.
Diet coke tainamen square?
If it was Tiananmen the horse would have stopped
If we take most reliable estimates of the casualties than happened in the june 4th incident, ~200, then US cops kill more than that in 2 months.
Or if you want a single internal incident, during the Waco siege the US burned alive ~90 people, many women and children included.
