Wtf is this? Police? How are they so sadistic? What’s the psychology saying about this? What is this? Peer pressure? Us against them/fear?
thats not fear. he’s on the ground. thats unchecked sadism and anger issues. they think no one is watching, so they act like they would if there were no cameras.
But it makes no sense. What are they angry about? What type of person wants to hurt somebody because of their own unhappiness? It’s pathetic? Words cant describe how mental this is. How uneducated, seriously.
To be clear, I don’t mean this perjoratively towards you by any means, but I do find your reaction amusing. “How uneducated!”, you say, as though another round of sensitivity training at the academy will fix this behavior right up.
Sensitivity training? We don’t have that here where I live. We have education. Shame in our bodies. Accountability. Sensitivity training? To not ride over a man with a horse, because he uses his democratic right to protest? These two are not related.
Let me explain.
If you are not educated about how things actually work in the system and only act upon your feelings, you will make bad mistakes. This is what I mean. I see a lot of confusion in America. I see red and blue news channels. and when you say these men are angry, i believe you. Because all of America looks, from the outside, like a fever dream of feelings. A maze with no exit. All feeling, no facts, no education.
Don’t get me wrong, surely there are a lot of lovely people… But time and time again it looks like the big machine is chewing you up and spitting you out. Leaving people in a haze, back in the fever dream. And they don’t even know what happened to them, because they can’t explain it. Because they don’t know how things work.
i have the vague sense that I’m too much of a city person to truly grasp how horrifying that is.
Like I know that people have been trampled to death by horses and I know that a horse is damn heavy, but my brain still struggles to decide if this is attempted murder on screen or not.
edit, because I had to look it up: An average horse weighs around 1100 pounds/500 kilograms, not including the scum sitting on top.
A single horse kick is lethal. You do not want to be anywhere near their hind legs unless they are very calm and unlikely to spook and very aware of your presence.
And then they let him get up so that they can violently throw him back onto the ground.
They’re all so ready to put their training into practise. Disturbed predisposed violent small men are absolutely gagging to flex on anyone in any situation they can. Fuck all cops.
Leave it to cops to synergize animal abuse and lethal force against someone who’s unarmed and lying on the ground.
If that horse was injured from doing that, watch the victim catch a felony charge for assaulting an officer.
ACAB.
(I posted this in another thread)
There was yet another incident of horse-involved police brutality posted to reddit this morning:
This is no less than attempted murder.
Everyone involved will get paid leave for a job well done. America is a corporate dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”.
If they don’t get praised instead, yeah.
Great use of resources, beat up one dude with like 30 cops in riot gear while nobody else is around. They’re trying to make these LA protests seem like a war zone. I watched the live videos and there were maybe 100 people protesting, and it was obvious that the police escalated the situation. And now they’re trying to paint it as some lawless o protest thats turned into a war zone. Don’t let them drive the narrative! None of that is true.
