Reply to comment by soonitwillbcold in Anyone know why there were mounted cops in market square today? by TonyUncleJohnny412

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.

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
