Rejected petition Stop using police horses to control demonstrations.

As seen in the Black Lives Matter protest horses can endanger the lives of civilians. The Police are meant to protect the people, by them using horses in this manner to deescalate protests there would have to be no potential for the horse or the officer to lose control. This clearly is not the case.

More details

Due to the safety of both the Police Officer and the civilians who were injured in this incident. They should no longer allow horse-mounted officers as a form of riot/protest control.
