Black Man Being Led by a Rope

[keepitreal]

Totally unnecessary

One of them should have got off their horse
and walked him to where they were going...
How far could the guy have gotten
had they not used the rope and the guy fled

They’re on fucking horses

Sometimes shaming is a greater deterrent than punishment.

Agree, let’s shame the officers in the same manner

 

[Godboy]

One of them should have got off their horse

Why should they have done that?

 

[depotoo]

Well, considering it is texas, they might put that image in their travel and tourism paraphernalia.

Oh, cut the crap.

 

[keepitreal]

One of them should have got off their horse

Why should they have done that?

Why shouldn’t they have done that?
Why should they have done what they did?

Well this ain't gonna go over very well

Horses don't have back seats like squad cars.

They shoulda called the guy a taxi.

Limo

With spinners...

 

[depotoo]

I would be very embarrassed if I were arrested.

I was withholding judgement until I read what he was charged with. Criminal trespassing for entering a Park Board building without a park board member's permission. Yeah. Just put the poor guy in cuffs and a car, you jerkoffs.

I don’t agree with that technique, but he had been sighted for trespassing 19 times since Jan.

I get that Texas has always embraced the cowboy image, but maybe they take it a bit too far sometimes. You have a smartphone in your pocket. Drop the rope, and get off the fucking horse.

Call for assistance and have someone pick him up

Why? do you not what even is going on? Maybe a car wasn't available at the time.

Then Galveston, Texas should stop spending money on horses, and invest in some more cruisers.

According to the link:

"Where were they walking him to and why did they rope him if he was handcuffed? I don't think it's right," Cynthia Orise of Galveston said.

The fair damsel Orise is obviously unaware that handcuffs do not prevent escape; that is what the rope is for! There is nothing racist about this event. The mounted police had to bring the man in and they found the best way to do it. Their options were limited and there is no doubt that they would have done the same thing to a White man.

Somebody should clue the stupid bitch in that hand cuffs don't prevent perps from running away. So maybe they should have shacked him too and dragged the asshole to jail.

Having been to Galveston any number of times, certain areas a cruiser could be stuck in traffic for ever during busy times on the island.

Don't do the crime and you won't walk the line

Wait for transportation
Happens all the time

This playing cowboy is really getting silly at this point. I always thought it looked cool for aesthetic reasons, but that was before I realized they were transporting people this way. They should really rethink their priorities if they're choosing aesthetics over added convenience for every party involved.

They said they won’t be.

That's why big cities like New York still use horses. They don't transport them that way.

Lol, fucking Galveston.

 

[aaronleland]

The funniest part of this story is that those officers probably realized as they were doing this how bad the optics were to ride on horseback, leading a black man with a rope.

"We're really do this, aren't we? Goddam it, Dave. Somebody just took a picture."

Guy seems unharmed. You have a problem with that?

Are you kidding? The left get triggered by gender pronouns.

A rope in the vicinity of a black man is an automatic hate crime to them.
