Policy change today is not enough. The people in charge had time to change the policy and end the practice. They have allowed it because the are okay with it, but not the negative attention.

Since they have bee okay with it, they need to resign or be terminated.

That is offensive on a million difference levels. Those officers should be fired immediately, and that gentleman should press charges against them for harassment, among other things. People have just lost their damn MINDS!

So crazy. What are these guys thinking? I don’t know if it’s racist but no matter what color the arrestee is not a dog. This is not a Western and they’re not a posse.

Texas police apologise for horseback officers leading black man by rope

6 August 2019

Texas police have apologised after an image of two white officers on horseback leading a handcuffed black man by a rope caused an outcry online.

Galveston Police Chief Vernon Hale said on Monday the technique was acceptable in some scenarios, but that "officers showed poor judgment in this instance".

He said there was no "malicious intent" and has changed department policy to "prevent the use of this technique".

Many people on social media said the photo evoked images of the slavery era.

According to a news release from the Galveston Police Department, the two mounted officers, named only as P Brosch and A Smith, arrested Donald Neely for criminal trespass.
