YUP! Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre. (Louis L'Amour) "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical. " -Thomas Jefferson "America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." Alexis de Tocqueville FBHO!!! The Idaho Elk Hunter | |||

Texas lawmen on horseback have been leading criminals around with ropes for a couple hundred years. So what's the big deal? CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||

Hey, it wasn't at a gallop! That's the way I've always seen it in the westerns! Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Visibility of the officers during patrol and visibility for the officers while on patrol. And has it not been pointed out in the past that getting officers out of cars and putting them on horses, on foot and on motorcycles breaks down some perceived barriers between police and citizens? So we have several different scenarios for prisoner movement and control of the horses, all of them not allowing full control of either. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

Given the current climate, optics are huge, right now, why put yourself under more scrutiny. Being on horseback you're in the spotlight, mounted patrols are great for chasing somebody down, crowd control, and public relations. They didn't do anything wrong however, their chief, captain and lieutenant all now have to answer to their bosses as to why, and was that the best option. | |||

Would our apology and a couple of mil ease your pain and suffering, Mr.Neely? Of course, any record of your humiliation will be expunged. | |||

FIFY...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

he should be glad they didn't rope him by his feet and drag him horizontally down the road at a gallop | |||

Those MP's are thrilled I'm sure. "Trained technique and best practice" and they still get thrown under the bus. Way to cultivate loyalty Chief.  | |||

This wouldn't even be a blip on the radar if the suspect weren't rich & vibrant. Both mounted officers are white. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

Pretty sure he was neither “lashed to a horse” or “drug of to jail”, but nice hyperbole. And having had plenty of experience with trespassers on our rural property, I don’t consider it trivial. | |||

I think the trend toward kinder gentler policing has trended too far, to the point of disrespecting authorities more. Case in point, the women in another thread that got tazed for resisting arrest and running to try and avoid a minor ticket. Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs.

Just so tired of the politically correct crap. Since this was a dept. trained technique there should not have been any comment other than saying that they followed procedure. | |||
