These cops are supposed to be trained, but here they pull and drag a casualty across the ground. If he has broken bones, neck even, they could seriously injure him.

Stupid cop shouldn't be riding a horse he can't control, he's a danger to himself and others. He clearly lost control and fell off, and has only himself to blame.

If you watch it again you,ll see 2 passers by grabbed by one copper, then a few more take hold, then being held down and cuffed. Fucking disguisting and they wonder why we hate them. State thugs. This is just the start! @

We should ask the RSPCA why they don't consider it animal cruelty for these horses (and dogs) to be forced to face riots. The police should not be allowed to bring animals to dangerous situations.

The RSPCA should step in

I looked closely at this video...I noticed a couple of things straight away. Yes a clumsy Policeman getting "trampled by a horse"....and?

Now...i don't know what constitutes a good "trampling" by i think of herds. Trampled by a herd of horses. yes. Falling under you're horse? Idiotic.

Who rides horses? Police and rich people. The answer...take away thier hooves. All pigs are equal, some pigs are more equal than others.

Firstly an edit has been performed; so we jump cut into the moment of his falling off his horse. Since we didn't see what happened before...we asume (as a joe blogs, reads the sun, watches Jeremy kyle type of cretin) that the police are right. Bad students....

Then notice the Sky News logo slightly lower than a normal graphic. Never seen one that into the screen before...hmmmmmmmmmm.
Lets see what its covering...


A turncheon blow to a protestors head. Camera pans down exact moment...But you clearly see it make contact with force. Followed by what looks like a punch. (watch the background. Forget the horse)

This is obscene they have taken a peice of footage and talked more about the horse than the protestor with concussion? Have the police forgotten Ian Tomlinson so soon? Or have we?

Then the saving private ryan moment "Medic!!!!" - Cue hero music.

2 undercover over the injured copper

Totally agree with RSPCA supporter. The police should not be allowed to use animals. Channel 5 footage of missles being thrown at a small group of horses, who were surrounded by protesters was sickening. This was totally wrong as is hitting protesters over the head with truncheons. With the protesters all of the way but give a thought and some respect for the horses who don't have a choice but to be at demos.

Yep, definitley looks like a couple of undercover plod tending to the injured cop.

Definitely agree about the horses - it is scary getting surrounded/charged by police horses, but don't be dicks - aim higher...the horses obviously have even less choice about being in that kind of situation than we do. They don't want to trample us if they don't have to, they just want to get the hell out of there.
