Do you find this 'Racist'? (Poll Question)

These cops need to play more Red Dead 2.

At the very least, it's highly inappropriate.

This is a trained technique and best method in some scenarios

we immediately changed our policy to no longer allow this

Best doesn't mean ethical.

Basically, them saying its sometimes the best, but they still immediately changed it, right?

I mean they're mounted cops. Transporting a prisoner any other way would be just too dangerous for the police. Fair, next.

I guess it was said that they should have waited for a car to transport him or something...
---

The guy ended up not even being charged with anything and it really seems like an inhumane way to treat any person today

Transport and backup arent guaranteed. It does suck for the guy though.

What are horse mounted cops doing transporting someone o.0?

Im just saying what the chief said or whatever...

Galveston police Chief Vernon Hale said in a statement Monday that while his officers used a technique that's acceptable in some situations, such as with crowd control, they "showed poor judgment in this instance and could have waited for a transport unit at the location of arrest."

Not sure if racist, but uh....

I dunno but if it was sit here and wait for like an hour or just walk back to town. I'm walking back. I see both sides. It is kinda messed up but they had to do something.

There is nothing that indicates they had to do this. You keep saying things like "wait an hour".

I know. I just was making a "what if" scenario up.

Waiting an hour for a cruiser to come by is too far out of the realm of believability for a what if scenario.

Trust me, it's not. I've waited in a cruiser for an hour to get transported into another one.

Did they not have handcuffs or something? A handcuffed person isnt gonna get far if they try to run

Didnt care enough to read it

I guess the cops were so fat and slow, they figured they couldn't manage to catch a handcuffed man

The handcuffs make you slower?

A little bit. That's why athletes run with their hands cuffed

Makes it easier to trip or lose balance too

Ive played enough red dead to know they could have easily cuffed him and then thrown him over the horses butt for safekeeping

---

You're making it seem like it's going to be weighted or something. The speed decrease of not using your hands is invaild. And you won't lose that much balance, do you not know how to run holding something?

---

with his hands stuck behind his back wouldnt that make it even easier to achieve naruto running speeds?

Regardless of how much it might slow you down, how far is a cuffed man gonna get before he's either caught by the police that cuffed or reported and found by another cop in a cruiser or whatever

Yeah, maybe they could have asked for a car to come and get him. But if there was no car what else were they going to do? I guess they could have put him on the horse and let one of the cops get down and lead that horse.
