DO NOT HARM THE HORSES! THEY DONT WANNA B THERE

[@chrisgima9544]

I agree I saw the cops with the horses these ppl didn't care they were destroying and hurt in ppl that didn't want to be a part of this

[@tardis4125]

A cop kills a man, so you try to hurt a cop on a horse. A cop that live in a completely different state that has nothing to do with it. And a horse, that's well, just a horse and has nothing to do with it. Take all these people to jail already

@Ray Lat Great slogan! Thank you! Horse Lives Matter !

[@cassandrabud4194]

You would think the tear gas would affect the poor horses too

[@ceceliaclarke8427]

@@cassandrabud4194 Cities with horses for this work, of crowd control, have been protecting the horses' eyes with plastic shields. Don't know if Pittsburgh police have been using tear gas. Thank you for your concern, for these horses.

[@lndingalle9605]

You aren't better though, only people from Pennsylvania say this nonsense. You either have never left the city to see how bad it is, or completely ignore it due to your own narcissm. Pennsylvania has the highest road rage violence in America. Ranks 2nd for opioid OD's in the country. Ranks top 10 for Serial k. Ranks 13 for male violence and female homicides related to intimate partners. Ranked worst dress, worst accents. Ranked top 5 for narcissistic personality disorder. Yes I had to learn all that for the times I kept hearing how great you people and your city are. You literally only have a football team to brag about. Locals act like they did something personal special themselves when the team wins, it's very cringe. I like when they don't go to the Superbowl so I don't have to hear about it. You go to bars and eat pizza or wings and get bad tattoos and ride motorcycle.. I've never seen so many childish empty headed adult's who lack self awareness. Better than who exactly Mississippi? That's probably about it.

[@lilnothin1466]

If it was a peaceful protest at first, why did they need to bring out riot horses in the first place?

[@ceceliaclarke8427]

Lil nothin...Because the rioters were trying to block the Parkway. There is nothing "peaceful" about a plan for mobbing a four lane highway. That was why police blocked them. Mounted police only retreated because the rioters were hitting the horses with metal bars. And maybe you can explain why "peaceful protesters" were armed with metal bars, from destroyed street signs? What exactly is peaceful about trying to seriously injure a horse?

[@lochnessamonster1912]

For the record, two years later and we now know that police instigated the violence. Chief resigned. Cops investigated and held accountable for it in civil court to Pittsburgh residents. This happened across the country, where cops instigated violence and even infiltrated crowds to do it, and were later investigated by the DOJ for their illegal tactics.
