I visited London a few weeks ago and was shocked by the complete distespect these guards are treated with. People were trying to grab, pull on, or making loud noises to or around the horse and guard. They are working, so leave them alone. Look at them if you want, but don't touch!!! If you are going to London, respect the country you are visiting and appreciate the tradition and history you are privileged enough to witness. Maybe this old American sees things differently from most people.

[@ixopo6715]

That is a very kind comment and I hope you enjoyed your visit to London. I am English, so very slightly biased, but it is a fantastic city for so many different reasons.

[@Naptosis]

@@ixopo6715 Yes it is. I wish crime was lower, but things in London are so much better now than they were in the 80s/90s.

[@MontagZoso]

No, you are not alone. Fellow American and that kind of disrespect from tourists infuriates me. ❤️🇺🇸

[@shaukanto6406]

No touching the horses or going up to them, so why not put up steel barriers right from the word go to make that distance clear? Or else put yellow markings on the pavement area outside the gates? Even when they don't understand English, most tourists will be familiar with such signs that tell them not to enter this area or to get too close to any specific thing or person. Then no need for the armed police to get heavy handed.

The guard shouldn’t have to put up with rude and ignorant tourists who pull his horse’s reins and generally take the mickey out of him! Go home if you can’t respect British culture or traditions.

[@oliveappleby8672]

Don’t argue with the man with the semi automatic😳

[@johnstuartsmith]

The man with the semi-automatic and the pistol and the taser is directing people to move themselves out of the path of the great big horses and the men carrying sharp pointy things. Sensible people would comprehend this as the reasonable thing to do.

[@paulmiddleton4215]

are you sure it is not a burst fire weapon? outward appearance would not show, unless you could see the selector switch closely to determine if semi-auto, burst fire, or "safe".

[@user-ky2on2he1u]

why are they doing it with innocent but admittedly annoying tourists? Why aren't they doing their "proper policing" when it matters?

[@Caocao8888]

Tour guides need to TELL tourists in their own language what the basic rules are around the guards and horses.

[@user-dl8eo6zc9z]

@Caocao8888 don’t want to appear rude, but which language would you choose as ,’their’ language?

[@Caocao8888]

@@user-dl8eo6zc9z Perhaps you don’t travel much? Each country organizes tours overseas. So German tour groups would have a tour guide who is fluent in German and English. You see guides in these videos shouting instructions to their groups, in their native language, naturally. A Chinese tour leader wouldn’t be speaking Yiddish, for example.

[@semperf1dude]

Some much admiration for the police and guards dealing with these tourist idiots everyday

Why dont they just put a proper barrier up,,, nowhere else in the world are members of the public allowed to just walk up to guards etc eg the Vatican!

[@BillandMaryanneWilliams-di2wv]

I've seen this officer a few times now. He really steps up and takes charge. No messing around with him. Well done 👍.

[@katealison6087]

This police officer is fantastic. Assertive in a calm but assured way. It's how all officers need to operate. I think he was on another video handling an out of line content creator - he didn't mess around and managed the situation in a way that belies genuine confidence in his abilities and role as an officer. It's very reassuring to see given the current PR challenges the force are facing. I hope he continues to get promotion so other officers have such an excellent role model managing their training and development.

[@nealeorinick1700]

I would be so ashamed if a guard had to tell me twice to get my fat ass behind the line. People disgust me.

The importance of following the rules at an attraction is for the safety of visitors who sometimes forget rules due to their excitement. It’s the same way in Florida where Disney & Sea world are. They are having a good time and forget about safety and rules.

I expect, some tourists have a Culture shock, when they visit here. Plus the fact that they don't know what happens, or the routine. They need Constant Guidance, ALL THE TIME, while they are here !

[@user-ky2on2he1u]

I watch these vids all the time and am a Londoner who walks past Whitehall regularly. Tourists aren't enemies who need to be put in their place. Some of them are annoying, but so are many non-tourists. I don't suppose many of them know what "bollards" are or where they should get back to or why. I feel this could have been demonstrated to them a little more so they actually understand the space that the horses will need to change over. Perhaps it was near the end of his shift, but he didn't need to be "hard-man" policing in this instance did he? They are just tourists come to have a nice break, not be shouted at and treated with disdain.

[@ChazzyWS]

Like herding cats... some people don't get what an order is, and if they were hurt by a horse while changing, they'd be the first to complain.
