Man, local business owners complain about human feces in downtown they’re gonna love the big piles of shit mounted police leave behind.
And that’s just when a cop falls off the horse, let alone the feces.

Holy shit I saw one of those horses drop a load at the end of Warhol bridge last summer as I drove by and holy horse shit.

Did I miss "Pet the Police Horse Day" again?

Better question, why are there mounted cops at all? Why are tax payer dollars being spent on expensive police academy class pets? I bet most cops would rather get another PTO day a year than get to ride a horse that doesn't want to be ridden anyways..

They are really effective at crowd control
Snoo71538 t1_jeb848e wrote
They are used in large crowds to have an elevated view to see into the crowd and communicate where issues are to other cops that are on foot

they would be just as effective if they had giant paper fans and 6ft tall stilts. would probably still need to shit in the road but that’s just the price of safety

It’s pretty easy to knock down someone on stilts. It’s much harder to knock down a horse.
rageharles t1_jebk5m1 wrote
good point, but I could simply give the horse a zucchini or an eggplant and it would become docile and fall asleep

That's not how horses work

A friend of mine who used to work for the police said they were brought in as a PR tool, not as a policing tool. Pittsburgh has few events that require horses, and the cops bring them out even less often.

Part of the new initiative to reduce crime in downtown. Or at least create police visibility.
