The story and image have gone viral all over the world. From the UK: Police officers on horseback lead handcuffed black man through streets with rope. The alarming image, which has invoked "anger and disgust", according to one politician, was taken in Galveston, Texas. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/police-officers-horseback-led-handcuffed-18852118The man was accused of tresspassing. The police have since apologized. WTF - they couldn't wait for transport?

Real bad optics. That's how runaway slaves were handled.

It would have been so much better if they had the officers, on both side twisting his handcuff arms up over his back! yea, frog hopping him!!

Seriously, OC? What a dick thing to say. Moon-while I don't care for OC, he was being sarcastic. OC hates police actions like this. It is well known among us posters and OC will call the police out when they behave badly. OC's big mistake was not using the sarcasm emoji.

It's not something to be joked about.

agreed. I don't find it even remotely laughable, sarcasm or no.
