If illegals are not criminals, neither is heFine. Now, give every criminal who has ever been apprehended invading someone else's privacy and property a mental evaluation. They are then to be instructed to wear a bracelet with the medications they are taking and the illness that may find them doing inappropriate things in inappropriate places and their residence is to be placed underneath their names so that they may be taken home in a limousine, hired by the city of Galveston to kid-glove people with such trials.The cops look like a couple of assholesNo it wasn't. There wasn't a neon note attached to Mr. Mentally Unstable saying to handle with kid gloves. He got the regular treatment. There was absolutely no harm, no foul, and the cuffed man was not being goaded nor dragged, because he knew he did something bad, and was hoping not to get into more trouble. His family's claims of his being mentally ill didn't provide him with a home in his illness, nor did they contact city or county services to see to it he did not get into trouble, since they could not handle him and keep him from tresspassing and invading other people's property without permission.The Police represent their communityYou have no idea what it's like to be family of a cop who is putting his life on the line every time he steps out in a uniform on the job to deal with criminals and people who do insane things on a serial basis. No criminal is a cop's buddy, and home invaders are the very worst of the very worst criminals to look out for doing off the wall bazarro world crap that winds up with a cop dead or disabled for life. That town is not fucking anything. They have a procedure that works with no harm no foul. No, it doesn't look good, but you don't have a clue what that character has done. If he was apprehended 5 times, and the average criminal is apprehended only 2% of the time, do the math. There isn't an unlocked door in Gaveston Town that alleged mentally ill man doesn't know about. And bless the families of those two cops who had to deal and make the right call with that invader. They did the right thing and did not harm the man.I'm not sure if you're aware, but the police walk "buddy style" next to criminals thousands of times a day across the country. For some reason Galveston is the first instance where I've ever heard of police escorting somebody with a rope while riding a horse. That town is just fucking retarded.
Leading a non violent, mentally unstable person through the street dragged by a horse does not represent Galveston very well
Stupid, callous thing to do
The guy was a non violent offender
Being mentally unstable he could have freaked out and been injured by the horses
He could have freaked out and injured the officers or their animals
Galveston police admitted it was a stupid thing to do
I agree
