I don’t see an issue with it. Just bad optics

At least it’s not around his neck

Non issue like most. Is he supposed to abandon his horse or something? Dumb.

What’s he suppose to do get off his horse and walk the criminal and the horse... the fact that society as a whole is more concerned about the appearance of this ordeal vs a criminal being detained and off the streets shows you where we are headed...

50 years ago it would have been and they would be dragging the man to the police station

Partner could have lead his horse and he walked the perp.
Could have called for a squad car and waited.
Many options besides that. When your gut tells you “it’s going to look bad” find a solution that doesn’t set of those alarm bells.

Obviously, ideally he would have called someone with a car to transport him, but I really don't see the issue. What's the difference than if the cop was on foot walking him?

all of this. Listen to the audio. They both knew it would look bad and the male chuckles about it a few times.

I'm not outraged at all by it but those cops should have called someone in to do the arrest. They knew the optics would be horrible and race is a sensitive issue. I dont think racism played a role at all, but perception unfortunately trumps intent

then get rid of the horses, wtf are they supposed to do? put themselves in a compromising posture just so as not to offend the tPOS?

Arresting black people is racist

Other than being filmed with a potato what is the issue?

Try 75-100 years ago and you might have a point though.
Contrary to popular perception, civilization existed 50 years ago. People had cars/trucks, central AC/heat, television, refrigeration, telephones in most homes, microwave ovens even. 50 years ago there was an active space program.
