Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

Acab
Holy fuck shits getting real
Trampled, hit with two overhead strikes, then trampled again.
I think the officer dragging her actually was trying to get her out of the way and then check on her after she was assaulted by the other officers and trampled by the horses. After those injuries there is no way she isn’t in critical condition and if she makes it, won’t be permanently affected.
Or he realised he was being filmed…
I think he's panicked as shit because he just realized he's moving a corpse.
Are there any good cops in this situation?
This 👆 That one's not the bad cop in this video.
ACAB is still ACAB even when they remember their humanity momentarily. That cop is still participating in these brutalizations.
Except he's not gonna say shit to or about those other cops, let alone arrest the one who shot her in the head, so he's the bad cop.
"It was all fun and games until someone got hurt" was probably what went in his head
So maybe just a lesser asshole? 🤷♂️
Yeah. How horrible is it that the guy doing the right thing in this situation is not only an anomaly, but is also just a “lesser asshole” because he will just capitulate to the shitty system?
ACAB
She is definitely more wounded than Trump was from his "assassination" attempt.
I just don’t understand how humans can do this. She’s been trampled and multiple people are beating her head… How do people ‘train’ to treat another being like this?
This is ATTEMPTED MURDER. Charge these thugs!!! Arrest and jail these cops immediately. And leave horses OUT of this. Horses also die from this stress.
The fact that not more americans protest when they see stuff like this is bewildering to me. I genuinely don’t think my country would’ve functioned due to all the nation-wide protests had it happened here.
This is abhorrent.
🤮
Is that guy alive?
It's ok...LAPD is only there to control traffic...wait, WHAT?
they really don't need the national guard.. do they?
Where was this? I can’t find anything about it anywhere else online.
LA I've only seen stuff here or on reddit.
Seeing it on other sites now too
Holy shit these mounted officers need to lose their jobs! Like I said on the last post horses don’t trample people on purpose! I have had horses for years ! This is strictly those fucking cops purposely injuring people and this victim looks seriously injured!
They need to go to prison.
Lose their jobs? Far too tame.
Same. I've had horses for 20 years and all of this crap goes against their natural instincts. I hate seeing them being used to trample a human being. Damn, I hope that woman is OK.
I’ve had horses 30+ and am a professional in the industry. There are only two reasons a horse will tramp a person, they are running blind(and even then they try their damnedest to not step on anything, for self preservation) and trained to do it. This was horrific to watch.
I agree. Brings tears to my eyes.
It’s just not in a horse’s nature, which means human nature is the cause. I’m mad at everything about it.
It really was and I am utterly amazed that I have not seen one news source post this atrocious cruelty!
Found one. www.newsweek.com/la-protestor...
Good for Newsweek!
They won't lose their jobs, they'll be given promotions. 😠
Lose their jobs? Lol. Lmao. We cannot stop there. We will not make the same mistakes we made after the first Civil War.
It's assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder
Strictly fucking ANIMALS on horseback.
Obviously not done basic first aid training BTW where are the paramedics?
She will never be the same Assuming she’s still alive but also, only one officer stopped to take care of her. wtf
god fucking damnit, at least one of the cop fucks has the bare minimum of a concsiousness and checks her head for injuries
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
i think they killed her christ
Overheard
This is an attempted murder.
going limp like that after getting a rubber bullet to the head at point blank range? that's murder
It seems pretty likely, but I haven't heard a death reported yet so I still hope they survived (and also that they can recover)
there is already a UK journalist in hospital having been shot in the leg at close range with a 'non lethal' round
I’ve been stood on by a horse (accidentally on both of our counts). My leg still has the indent. It is no fucking joke. I hope she is ok and I hope she sues the fuck out of those bastards.
📌
I see the Gravy Seals are on duty.
I'm actually impressed that one "soldier" or wtf ever he is- I'm shocked that he stopped and seems to be examining her and seems to be seeking help from the other uniformed shit heads - whoever he is- he needs to quit while he still has a soul.
They just want to make sure she's not dead because it avoids them a bigger lawsuit. Minutes later they categorically refused to call an ambulance for her.
Cunts!
The cops are doing the violence. This violates the US Constitution.
all of these goddamn bastard pigs can rest in piss
Idk what episode it was in the Behind the Bastards pod, but it was about a protest of yore, where the town children tossed out a bunch of marbles to destabilize cops on horseback. That stuck with me, especially seeing this footage of protesters getting trampled, and beat down by cops on horseback...
ACAB
And people wonder why we hate cops. Those soulless fucks just left her there unconscious on the pavement. It's why I'd never assist an officer with anything, if they were dying on the street I'd walk on by, if they were burning in a ditch I wouldn't stop to take a piss on them. Fuck the police.
I don't know, I'd piss on them but make sure it didn't go out.
Donald Trump did this. He created the protests, inflamed the situation, and then trapped the LA and CA law enforcement into doing his dirty work so they could say the National Guard isn’t needed.
You think these cops just joined once Trump was in office? Or that cops dont do this shit ALL THE FUCKING TIME especially during uprisings like this? 2014, 2020 in very recent memory. Trump sucks but the cops in this video live to abuse and cripple people like this.
And every member of the Republican Party backed him. This is not one person's doing, and besides, he'd be happy to have all the credit. He is proud of this.
rip them off their fucking steeds, fuck these fucking fascists
This is a military operation against American citizens. Appalling. That last cop actually seems concerned. As if he has a shred of humanity left in him.
the other police will beat that out of him
Sue their Asses we got it on video
Get used to what you voted for.
I have never said this on social media, but fuck you. What did your grandparents do during the war? Because my grandfather came back with shrapnel in his face.
Pardon me. You are angry at me because the brave and free elected a fascist? Strange
Did you want to share?
Sry. Afraid I don‘t get you. (Maybe because my poor english)
As in to answer my question
You mean my grandfathers during WWII? Both were soldiers. One mechanic with the airforce. The other cook in the army. Both POW. Both returned home. The mechanic wounded at soul. The other I didn‘t get to know, because he lived in eastern germany and died before visits were allowed.
And for which country?
Forget that, I won’t ask you to say it. I’ll just say you should either be able sympathize with people at the mercy of their governments (unless you’re proud of their contributions), or at least know to sit that one out. Suggesting anyone deserves state violence is despicable
Germany (Nazideutschland)
Hu… nerves on edge in the land of the free To explain: it was cynism 😉
the people out there on the streets did not vote for this you fucken moron
Another angle bsky.app/profile/tina...
WE HAVE TO F*CKING STOP THIS.
On the second picture an object sticking in her skull is visible. It moves with her heads movement. This woman must be in a serious condition. Can anyone find more about her? She should be in hospital, when she survives this.
This seems to be the same person:
From another angle…
Thank you. Looks like the same place. 👍
She was shot at point blank (like 2 meters (5-6 feet)) from a grenade launcher or something similar. These things have to have a huge energy.
Just look at the size of the round he's loading just before he unloads at point blank range
They were never intended to be used at close range, but cops don’t care - in ATX in 2020 they shot at least two teenagers who were literally standing still NEAR protestors not doing anything, in one case they asked the medics to carry the kid over so they could get an ambulance and then opened fired
on them at close range too. My friend lost two fingers as a result and still has nightmares, and both the teens were in critical condition for weeks. They’re not even meant to be aimed AT people, they’re supposed to be aimed at the fuckin ground
if youre on insta i think this is the same woman, you can see the same pink chairs the cops are moving around, also looks like she has the same bag www.instagram.com/reel/DKqrXMG...
Thank you! Looks like the same area. Yellow and blue trees.
for sure, just happened on the other vid this morning. hope she's alright 🙏
I hope this means she is alive.
Christ, that's horrifying.
It’s probably a rubber bullet round stuck in her helmet, and hopefully it didn’t fully penetrate.
I don’t see any helmet. Only a balaclawa and a bandana for hair. Blood.
yeah the type of helmet that's made of cloth and rolled off the head. oh wait, that's not how helmets fucking work.
No watch the video again, the helmet is removed but it’s obstructed in the video. Look at the material, it appears to be the kind of matte black skateboard helmets. The balaclava and maybe another piece of fabric is under the helmet.
Fuck these overseers....
What comically tragic cosplayers those POS males are. Though they'll get Trump's admiration. So there's that.
Hours and houra of footage of LAPD savagely beating people with clubs and shooting them.
Trump wants calm, and all eyes on him for his bullshit birthday parade. This will not be the case as we, the American people, are sick of the orange felon. Please be careful and look out for each other. Be prepared and safe.
Fckers. 🤬
Spanish anti riot cops are a buck of bastards. But they have a rule they _usually_ follow. When they use their batons they are not allowed to hit this way. They have to hit horizontally and always below the neck. Those guys are goons and deserve anything happening to them.
The woman who was run down with horses, clubbed with sabers, and trampled also apears to have been shot directly in the head from close range in the same incident. The officer blames bystanders for LAPD's actions. Warning: lots of blood
🤮
Imagine being told "no ambulance" and having to accept inept field dressing from the misogynist, emotionally unhinged dickwad who just shot you in the head. Pretty sure that would radicalize me and then some.
There's no ambulance??
Cops refused to, they have no obligation to help someone in need
That would be going above and beyond protecting and serving I guess.
Anyone have any updates on this person?
Comments on IG say she made it to the hospital.
Hey, I'm working on sourcing some of this for a piece, could you direct me to the IG post?
I’ll see if I can find it again.
😮💨😓 I hope she's ok
The woman who was shot in the head by LAPD and then trampled by horses tells her story from the hospital, where she now has staples in her head and is being treated for subdural hematomas and massive bruising on her arm and legs. Content warning for deep bruising and traumatic story.
@dermotncosgrove.bsky.social here's the woman telling her story
Yeah I find something weird about this, I slowed the video down and can see where the mounted cop s trample her & use their batons but there's significant smoke from the 37mm rounds which isn't visible in the video.
Plus the cop raises the gun to shoot her, then drops off because 2 mounted cops get in the way. I'd have to see it from a different angle but the gun barrel doesn't align with her head. She does take a significant strike to the head from the mounted cop a few seconds before.
This is beyond. Beyond words The police presence is the threat. They incite violence. And remember they have been given carte blanch from 47 to shoot to kill and be pardoned. And some cops are indeed MaGA and J6ers. This will not be on Fox.
A lot of people are being told to sit down on the ground so they’re “peaceful” for a white audience and it’s going to get people injured tomorrow.
📌
It sounds like the cops didn’t call the ambulance because they think she deserved it. wtf
Or wanted her to die
Derek probably won't be Humanitarian of /this/ Year.
Police, rioting again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_...
if we had police who followed the law/guidelines... legalclarity.org/rubber-bulle...
I understand the need to film but did EVERYONE need to?? Jfc sometimes lets one of us put that god damn camera down for a moment and help her?? I hope she is alive 💜
You think those cops were going to let anyone approach her right then?
Are we going to let two cops stop us from killing someone or is that stake not high enough?
Are you fucking kidding? Someone puts down their phone and approaches to help and that cop is just going to shoot them, too.
You didn’t have to announce you’re a coward.
He just didn't want proof of what he had done. If he called, he was admitting to it happening
All Hell is going to break loose on Jun 14th.
Not if we're smart about it.
I'm open to suggestions, what do you have in mind?
Stuff that has to happen at the event organizer level. Organizers work to pump up the emotional energy, but they also need to deliver (and repeat) some basic lessons in strategy. And then reinforce those basics with platoons of volunteers at events. I've seen a bit of this; need a lot more.
Yes, that's what exactly what Trump want. He worked with all his provocative activities for that I don't want to imagine it,I'm afraid of my friends, that's not a good feeling, especially if you sit in Europe powerless .
I'm in South Carolina and I feel powerless too. And afraid of what's yet to come on June 14th. People will die.
I really feel like it's a case of *people will die anyway because Trump wants that* and maybe it's better to go down fighting.
I'm a vetetan. I honor my Oath of Alliegence to protect and defend the Constitution. I'm old, but if it comes to that, I am prepared to fight. And youre right. That's exactly what he wants.
That's called a true patriot. 🫶
Thank you Buttercup
I hope not,this is such a horrible Thought. Those would be the beginning of a civil war.
I thought it would be civil war after the Jan 6 insurrection. They've had time to plan for this.
Wow! It's a sure sign of an abuser when they say "See what you made me do?"
Yup, such abuser language
1000x THIS
He definitely tells his wife something similar after he beats her.
Terrorist
Good thing Mayor Bass struck a deal to reverse the cuts to LAPD hiring in the budget. Resources well spent.
Less than two months ago during her budget address announcing widespread cuts and layoffs to basically every division except "public safety," and in fact raises and bonuses for police, she chastised city employees for all the money the city spends yearly on settlements and NEVER ONCE mentioned LAPD.
Where is the police chief?
Those fascist pigs are creating the problem. You will never take the innate right of protesting away from the People.
Is this current? Everyone wearing masks makes it look like footage from summer 2020. Fair question I think.
Those cops are ruthless sadists! I have never seen such violence! 😢
Did LAFD ever show up to del with the BBQ Waymos? I was there for an hour or two yesterday. One car was burning when I arrived. Three were on fire by the time I left. Never once heard a FD siren or saw any public safety effort to protect people.
This is what tyranny looks like.
WTF LAPD!! Stop it!!!!!!!
Cops showing us who they really are.
It's fucking sad that we say this years ago at the George Floyd protests, and NOTHING has changed. We did NOTHING to hold cops accountable, and they're STILL doing this shit
Just like the civil rights movement. Peaceful protesters getting beaten by a police. 🥺😢
🤬this enrages me.
Demonic
@theguardian.com Has this been verified and covered by your outlet?
Bloody hell. Does Trump know the world is watching & we blame him.
Sadly, his approval rating was actually ticking up.
📌
Why? Was the horse not enough they had to shoot point blank?
These are crimes.
Has anyone been able to ID the injured protester?
Or the women and the man trampled by the horses and shot in the head and face at close range😲🫢😑😢
I haven’t found anything on them.
Let’s hope they’ll heal 😔
Have you heard any updates on this woman's condition? So far I haven't been able to find any.
I'm looking too. I'm very sick rn so brain broke, but I'll do as much digging as I can before I gotta go to the doctor.
I think this is her, on the way to hospital m.youtube.com/watch?v=7R-X...
Those horses are trained to be evil and are ridden by evil men. Bring marbles.
Don’t blame the horses, blame the thugs in uniforms controlling them.
Achab is all I should have to say. Of course they are animals and are not responsible for the actions of their riders, but these horses are not ordinary horses anymore, they are vicious beasts that will bite you or kick you if you try and pet them. They're the horse no horse goes near in shelters.
My dad is former special forces - he also recommends marbles :)
Could you please explain what marbles can do? I'm confused...
Throw down a bag of marbles then walk on them. Wear a helmet and pads. You will need them.
You ever seen home alone?
I don't think horses can walk on marbles. But I'm guessing here...
If there's enough of it, nobody can but if a horse steps on a couple and skids a couple of times, then everything looks like a marble and they just freak out. Also, they may get hurt by falling and taken out of duty, which is a huge cost write off.
ah so, grey marbles would give them horse PTSD every time they walk on asphalt?
He suggested for cops, my dad, not horses. I think the horses already have PTSD being made to work in the conditions the police force them into. Cruel.
Oh yeah, for a densely packed line of cops in riot armor it not only works, it's funny to see... Much funnier than for horses, for sure, and yes, those horses lives are pure trauma, the training especially. Also for the riders it is an ideological reward, you have to be very hardcore to get that.
Well I dont think they actually distinguish colors that way but I'm pretty sure they are in constant PTSD over their very traumatic training... But yeah, they skid on marble once and they'll freak out seeing insect scurrying or pebbles on the ground for a while...
I love horses, but not these. They are trained harshly, so they dont respond to caress or treats. They will bite, punch you with their nose or kick you if you get too close. Horses avoid walking over people, these are trained to do it on command, and kick too. Evil horses for evil men.
I did not know this and it makes me so sad. All of it
It is very sad...
@maddow.msnbc.com
Horses will not deliberately strp on a human on the ground if they can avoid it. This is traumatic for the horse and disgusting behavior by LAPD, who have said they are only there to protect people.
Jesus. Any update on her condition?
That is fucking disgusting.
This is horrifying... Kamala warned the US with clear words before the elections! bsky.app/profile/fezz...
This is truly disgusting!
Goddamn. I'm so pissed off seeing this and so many others like it. The more things change the more LAPD stays the fucking shame.
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? (Who's here to "tone police" the person in the background waving the Mexican Flag? Who's here to blame that person?)
Those guys are sociopaths.
Lapd finally allowed to enjoy the work like in the good ol' days. Make VIOLENCE great again.
Mörder Regime 😡👎🏿
Those motherfuckers are some sick son of bitches.
NO FUCKING EXCUSE FOR THIS horseback LAPD need fired - did they not get “PROPER” training on this position?? At least someone did attempt to help her.
Is this constitutional?
This administration has declined to concern itself with such questions.
These are peaceful protestors who only yelled that’s the only aggression they showed then to be gassed, shot AT with rubber bullets at CLOSE range. Who is criminal here now??????
i guess i just fundamentally dont understand why youd want to do that to someone
Thank God for the one guy actually helping.
I hope someone posts the names of those who trampled and shot her and protest outside their homes and shame them on every media platform. 😡 These aren't men, they are animals. And DUMP NEWSOM NOW!!! #FuckThePigs #PoliceBrutality #LAProtests #ICE #LAPD #FascistGovNewsom
Fuck shaming them! How bout charging them with crimes?
A boatload, yes. But, I don't want to say what I really think should happen to every single one of these 🐷🐷🐷 and not just in CA. That includes the fascist Newsom.
Death squads and civil war are for Putin's benefit
To all American security personnel. Do your children know what you are doing. Your mother and sister. Do they think you are a tough sob protecting them from evil doers who will attack and harm them. OR do you keep it all to yourself ashamed of what you are doing to your fellow Americans
Most of these people's families are probably just breathing a sigh of relief that the terror in their house is out of the house for a while.
ouch.
They'll be showing film of this fascism for decades. Hope they're proud of what their grandchildren are going to see them doing. Taking parents away from their children in the streets is so patriotic and brave.
Cops see civilians as The Enemy. The only reason they don't just shoot everyone when they arrive at a call is that Trump hasn't let them, "Yet", nearly every cop is either a murderous serial killer trying to keep it together, or someone who's okay working with that guy
This shit has got to stop right now Remeber the slogan from Kent State and Hong Kong "They can't kill us all" Get out there on the streets and protest. WE HAVE THE POWER AND NUMBERS TO END THIS ALL.
It looked like she was a dead body, and it sent chills down me.
looks to me like she’s trying to flee while big tough cop on horse beats her anyway.
She got shot and then the projectile stuck visibly for me to see in her head. (?)
Pretty sure that's her skull.
rage fills me, when I see that video
I would really just like to know if she's alive, in the hospital, needs support or something.
Same. If you find anything out, please let me know.
bsky.app/profile/bein...
This from another account. One cop is doing some kind of first aid but despite strangers begging and pleading for LAPD to call an ambulance they are refused and blamed for starting it. The protestors are forced to carry her body on foot however far it is to get past the barricades to open streets.
Me too. Most people haven't seen that object sticking in her skull. It is a grenade? Or what? It resulted from a shot from this one officer.
One thing that has me worried is, in all the protests I've been to and watched, I've never seen a police medic tend to a protester... call for ems yes. But get down and help? No. So that tells me they thought her condition was serious.
I'm from Germany. Probably you won't find more about her tonight. Press and locals have to recherche on her. You have to wait. We have to come back later to it.
Yes. She wasn't #allowed to get out of their forces way until she was shot and went unconsciousness.
bsky.app/profile/bein...
Can't tell you whether she lived but another account's vid a few minutes later shows she's been dragged to the sidewalk and is receiving some kind of first aid from an officer. But they refuse to call for an ambulance and force civilians to carry her body on foot however far it is to open streets
I've been staying up very late here on the east coast hoping to hear more about this woman. Condition? I haven't heard a peep from anywhere besides bsky.
bsky.app/profile/kupr...
Thank you. Waking up to see that she apparently made it through is a relief.
That looked very rough.
Where did you see her condition? Are you referencing this video or did you hear something else. I’m concerned she has internal bleeding.
The video where she was sitting up and bleeding from the head is the only additional info I have.

USA has become a fascist state. #boycottUSA
Has become???? It was always a fascist state it just disguised it well. Where else in the world do people need to choose to die or go bankrupt before seeing a doctor?
@governor.ca.gov Oh, hey, also, could you please address the authorities you *do* have control over? Banning "trampling" and "battery" should be easy. If it would be inappropriate to shoot and kill this person, it should be inappropriate to risk their life (or brain(!!!)) by any means. #code3
I don't care what anybody says, it is NOT necessary to BEAT someone in order to put #handcuffs on them. Y'all probably coulda asked that one...
I mean. This is illegal already. Further laws don't change the fact that cops get off free for this stuff. I fear adding laws would just be lip service if they won't enforce the ones already in place.
It's not like they found the batons in the street, and are getting away with that. What I'm saying is, an officer does not need this tool to overpower and arrest a suspect. Nor tear gas. Nor "less lethal" munitions. We see ICE pour out of a veritable fortress shooting rubber... Unnecessary offense.
"We need to protect the property./They'd set it on fire." Evacuate and let the fire dept handle that. Let The People have that power, then think twice about kidnapping innocent people and putting them in prison in countries they've never been to before. The aggression never starts with the citizens.
First they are given too much power, then they are given too much grace; that's when we hear the "I was afraid for my life" defence in court. It's already too late at that point. In that context I agree, the beatings would otherwise already be illegal. We need to address the former.
You’re not wrong. But until police are held accountable for anything, it’s all just nothing upon nothing. It’s wretched. We deserve better
📌
How much longer are we just going to watch defenseless protesters being beaten, trampled by horses and hurt in numerous other ways. No one is allowed to peacefully protest. No one has the right to defend themselves or others because “law enforcement” will likely use their license to kill.
"ah gawddammit Jim, you shot her and now I have to render aid. or at least pretend to. remember, only kill civilians AFTER you turn off your body cam."
The same ahole cops and same horses appear in both videos. The dude on the chestnut is particularly vicious. That dark bay and the roan and buckskin/dun are in both the video of the man and the woman being beaten and attempting to trample both.
Chad is there any information on how this woman is doing?
LAPD has always been a fascist, out of control, us-vs.-them force for evil.
What freaks me out the most by this video is that the horses trampled her. I have ridden my whole life (40+ years) & horses will go out of their fucking way not to step on someone. These horses were TAUGHT to do that. It did not come naturally!
If you look carefully at all the footage, the horses are individually trying to turn away. LAPD are riding four abreast trying to run the protesters down. This is traumatic for the horses and guaranteed to cause serious injuries.
I saw someone say that you can see the officer perform a leg cue. I can't watch back or I'd check.
Could be, but the horse has still been conditioned to step on a person which is totally abnormal. I have been in many many falls where a horse has literally pretzeled themselves to avoid striking me. Those horses have been conditioned to stepping on a person. That behavior is not normal for a horse.
Confirmed- police horses are trained to trample like traditional cavalry units. They do not behave like normal horses.
Police horses are trained at a "Christian College" near where I live. 🤨
Oh yeah no, absolutely this is what I meant. This is trained behavior. Like... the fact that "trample" is a trained task for a horse ... I can't imagine being willing to train this or turn it on unarmed humans who are not actively trying to murder me.
I fell in front of a running horse, and I saw its hoof coming down towards my face, but it did a weird twist and skip thing to avoid me - with a rider on its back. All four hooves managed to miss me.
This is an event from my past to show that horses will perform extraordinary moves to avoid stepping on people.
I think this is her. Hopefully she got to hospital okay- no thanks to the cops

Omg! Wtf!!!!
bsky.app/profile/bein... It somehow gets worse. The cops refuse to call an ambulance because the streets are blocked off and then blame the protestors for causing the situation. They end up having to get a dozen people together to carry her on foot somewhere, blocks from the nearest open street
I didn't think that was the same person at first, but I've rewatched (three I think?) other angles of the attack and trampling and it does seem to be the same woman. I'm grateful to know she was at least moving and someone was helping her. I honestly thought she was dead.
🙏 Thank you for having concern for us, even after everything that's happened just in the last 4½ months, in our name, with many of us cheering. It's incredibly humbling and validating, and makes me not a little bit emotional tbh knowing that good, decent humans can be found anywhere except U.S. LEOs

The cop at the end realized they fucked up
I doubt it. They love killing.
I don't think they realized they fucked up, they just know that actually killing someone will force them to sit through depositions, go to training and inconvenience them. There is no humanity, no compassion behind the eyes of a single one of those disgusting people.

Anyone who has looked into the history of the LAPD knows they have always been garbage and basically every Governor and mayor that LA or California has ever had has been unable to control them properly.
They never even fucking try. It’s in their power to fire every single one of these fascist pigs
There's significant risk associated with that decision. Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the country. I'm not sure where it ranks but it's probably in the top five. Getting rid of its entire police force all at once would be pretty dangerous. Otherwise, I agree.
Second largest city in the US.
It would make it safer for sure. Most crime is due to poverty and LA spends most of it’s money on these fascist thugs who never help anyone
I agree something definitely needs to be done. However, I am also very aware that I have never been a police officer nor a politician nor any kind of public servant, so I don't have the experience to actually say what should be done specifically. I try not to speak out of my depth.
I work for a government and have to interact with police regularly. The “good ones” are racist conspiracy theory peddling idiots. There is not a single “good cop” in the LAPD
That's probably true. I have no reason to not believe that. I would like to think the much needed reform that has been a long time coming for the LAPD should happen after the events of this past week, but it didn't happen after Rodney King, so who even knows. My confidence is not high.
Remember in 2020 when the NYPD "protested" being called to heel even the slightest amount with a Blue Flu/choosing not to enfore petty crime and the mood of the city went up and crime actually went down? You could fire half the LAPD with no difference other than less crimes committed by cops, easy.
🤬😡🤬
Those are some depraved cops wasting our tax $$$. They all need serious therapy.
Police horses need to be outlawed (I mean all cops do but)
I don't want this to seem flippant, like it's all a problem. It's just very sad and scary to witness that so made me focus on the horses in this situation and the damage they can do (against their nature). I loved our horses but they are scary. It's all fucking disgusting though and in so many ways
nah you're right big livestock are scary as hell hit a fuck of a lot harder than any cop and there's no reason to use them these days other than sadism when so many other all terrain vehicles that are much better suited for urban environments exist these days dirtbike don't spook neither
For the sake of the horses too especially!!!!
I’m betting those mounted police are fans of violent online games. Demonstrations must be a dream come true. They’re deliberately trying to get the horses to trample him while they play Star Wars.
Fire them ALL! Resist!
📌
Fucking disgusting.
cut the budget for lapd they shd be getting 20% or less of what they are getting now. why should la pay so much to have our own citizens treated like this?
WTF
Just saw a clearer version of the same video on ABCs national news streaming channel - a local reporter said that they were supposedly accusing that guy of having a flamethrower. Still doesn't excuse them using the horses and beating him up like that.
where's the flames?? This is clearly just an abuse of power. Using horses to kick someone when they are down, and when they manage to get back up, pulling them back down again. It's like playground bullying, but I don't remember my bullies having riot gear. These guys are enjoying it.
They did show some sort of small tree fire right before they beat him up, but it was not a big deal and definitely didn't warrant assaulting him like that. Just glad it was broadcast live.
unless there's footage of that guy doing the fire, then I really don't believe anything they say. It should be broadcast live, so they can't hide behind their atrocities
It kind of just seemed like he was the guy they caught up to, and they must have assumed nobody was watching what they were doing. It looked like he was surrendering right away and then they beat him and trampled him anyway.
I suppose even if he did set something on fire, what they were doing was not proportional response. This whole things isn't proportional response.
Uvalde, though. When you see cops go to down beating the shit out of someone and later they say they thought he had a weapon, you know they're full of shit, because they had actually thought that they would have been paralyzed with fear.
I thought LA cops were "woke"????
Those are their road dildos.
📌
Tsar Trumpov rolling out the Cossacks is just too on the nose even for him.
God bless civilian drones. This kind of shit needs to be seen.
I see the LAPD hasn't changed since the rodney king days
What ICE does to LAUSD school children is in Ruben Gallego's name. Resign as Senator!
I do believe passive-resistance will have some leaks as a result of these acts by a traitorous, seditionist Trump
This footage aired next to the LAPD chief while he was speaking on local news about how 'peaceful' and 'good' the cops were being. I'm not exaggerating, this isn't hyperbolic. He obviously didn't know what else the network was showing while he spoke but it was chilling.
Please if you can find us that clip.
This is the broadcast footage I saw it happen on, but this upload doesn't have the audio. bsky.app/profile/mady...
Thanks, found it on another post. Jesus Christ we live in a dystopian shithole. The question really has to come up on whether the cops would be this brazen if the protesters were peaceful but armed.
I want to vomit. Still think we are delusional, @jamellebouie.net? Pigs are pigs. Also - Mr. Bouie - as you well know from the Bevins legal case - it's essentially impossible to hold a federal agent responsible for their unconstitutional behavior.
those cowards enjoy beating down the people that they are guaranteed to win a fight against. many times that will just be people who are already down and weak. great representation of society if you think about it.
I've fallen off of a horse down its neck (think doing a forward roll down a hill but the ground is a horse's neck and head) after taking a jump poorly - I hit the ground right in front of it and the horse still managed to not trample me. These horses are being made to trample by their riders.
They are no longer human; they are now 'just following orders'.
JfC.
They should be charged with assault.
By who? Other cops?
No, a prosecutor.
Cops re-enacting Reginald Denny riot assault.
Time to *** back
I am having flash backs to Rodney King anyone else feeling this flash back?
Ditto
I can tell you : they love that. The sweet empowering perfume of abuse & impunity. The Turd Reich regime enables and encourages that.
📌
These "lawless" cops have Trump’s blessing. There's a reason why police unions around the country endorsed Trump.
One question ... when was this?
bsky.app/profile/emnr...
Holy shit, they've been waiting for this haven't they.
This is SICK and SADISTIC!!😡😡😡

📌 Fascist timeline
The only hope is that these four are identified (can’t be that many on horses in small area) and prosecuted. LA is not very good at any of this, but maybe someone will rise and see that accountability lives
Herr Trump is enabling the vile, vicious bully behaviour of these men - just like the Brownshirts who so enjoyed torture and death
👀
In case anyone was wondering why so many fascist US police forces are trained by Israel: because they get to use these tactics on Palestinians first. The brutality on display today from trampling on an already subdude protestor to directly firing on reporters is IDF/IOF basic training. #ACAB
Disgusting I'm sure they'll all get to have McDonald's at the white house.
Its so gross that officers do that to their neighbors. And when he stands up with this hands in the air they throw him down? Where is the humanity?
These fascist pigs need to go
So Newscum is in charge of these cops, right?
You want him to be so badly but he's not. Newsom is awful in so many ways but you can't blame him for the LAPD. Not even sure how you made that stretch.
how bout them apples
People seem to make more concerned about the horses than the man who may never be OK again, yes, let’s be upset about the horses, but Jesus Christ, that man may never be OK again 😭
Jesus FChrist! That’s like the 1960s! Unforgivable! 🤬
Just watched the replay on @abc7.bsky.social and the anchor said "they are trying to get him to leave" as the video shows them shoving him back to the ground and beating him.
Out of control, and it's all started by one man to appear his ego, lust for control and his need to terrorise people. California could be the spark that ignites civil war.
*appease not appeal. Bloody autocorrect and my poor proof reading!
😳😳🤮😢
What the actual fuck??? This is so wrong! What fucking country is this?
I've been charged at by mounted officers, which is terrifying. This is quite a bit worse.
bsky.app/profile/robe...
Do they not realize this makes people hate them?
That's some medieval shit.
Bump*
Dear lord that would be terrifying.
Fucking disgusting @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Disgusting and shameful!
I am a horse owner and there is no way those horses are trampling people on their own! They are being deliberately made to do this and these officers are are brutal thugs and should lose their jobs !
Lose their jobs? I was thinking something else.
You're 100% right, Katie.
This ⬆️
Agreed. I've had horses for over 20 years and never been trampled by one. Terrible abuse of the man on the ground AND the horses.
Absolutely and they should not be able to keep their jobs !
Yes!! 🤬
The abuse is horrific
This makes me ill. Arrest him if he did something wrong! This is SO out of control!! They forced the horse to trample him
What the hell? LAPD, how do you justify this? You can’t, because there is no possible justification! What is wrong with everyone? What is happening in this country?
Lock all 4 up. Enough is enough.
This was really bad. But it was Jan 22, 2025, not what’s happening in L.A. now.
No, it was just livestreamed on ABC 7
They’re typically only used in Griffith Park.
Couldn’t find it and haven’t seen any horses. Did they say where in LA this was?
If you’re really asking this in good faith: what about this moment seems like this wouldn’t be something cops are doing in LA right now? And here’s another angle bsky.app/profile/mady...
Thanks for the info. I’m 100% honestly asking. LAPD can be a-holes for sure, it was just so extreme. Definitely inexcusable. Hope the guy (no matter what he did) is okay.
What the fuck 🤬 Major lawsuit ! Horses are not out there to hurt people 🤬
SHARE SHARE SHARE AND DOCUMENT. SEND IT TO THE MEDIA. WE HAVE TO COUNTER THE LIES AND PROPAGANDA
Send all video to the ACLU
Repulsive. As a former Angelino, I'm f-ing horrified at what I'm seeing. FUCK TRUMP and his Nazi agenda. 🖕🤬🖕
Fascist pigs
Fascists yes, pigs no. Pigs are social animals, cops are antisocial bastards.
I suppose that next you'll tell me I should refrain from calling oligarchs parasites because it's insulting to Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor. Everyone's a critic. In all seriousness though, my sincerest apologies to all actual pigs.
No, it's perfectly okay to call oligarchs parasites and a cancer on society ;)
It'd be nice if videos linked on Bluesky could be shared elsewhere.

I heard these were Huntington Beach Police, which tracks…
That cat food is still moving.
JFC do we know if this guy is okay :(
Like Rodney King all over again.
Public safety.
What breaks my heart about this is that horses are about the most gentle animals you'll ever meet until you train them otherwise. This is what humans do. We turn everything tranquil and good in the world into hate and violence, for the pettiest of reasons 🐴
This. They're torturing the person on the ground, but also torturing the horses by making them do something completely against their nature.
📌
When police work invites the worst instincts to come to the fore.
Terrifying! Does anyone know his condition? He could have been killed!
Wasn't this Huntington Beach pd
🤬
📌
The cops who beat Rodney King close to death would be so proud.
Jack booted fascists.
That's some Rodney King level abuse. Those horses probably crushed him horribly.
And, this is long-standing….
I hope he is ok. That was brutal.
This is crazy

📌
Sites in Downtown Los Angeles, including the Metropolitan Detention Center and sections of the 101 Freeway, became focal points for confrontations on Friday. Trump ordered troops into the city without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom, an action not seen in Los Angeles since 1965.
Those thugs need to face consequences.
FYI I think he threw a firecracker at one of the horses.

Last night - here's the ABC affiliate covering the LAPD press conference after the fact: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mcm... Roughly queued up to where you'll see it on the right of screen.
I can’t wait until adam schiff starts flapping his gums about this. Any moment now I’m sure.
He’s gonna get some $$

The man poses no threat! It's firsthand evidence of blatant police brutality!
It's a woman.
Difficult to tell from the footage but if so, it’s even worse, it’s even more brutal to watch. The beatings and the use of the horse as a lethal weapon, totally unjustifiable!
How are we supposed to watch this abuse and not protect ourselves? We have been taught to respect the police as they are there to protect us. It the line has been crossed. Perhaps if they didn’t feel emboldened and could possibly get shot for their actions they might think about it more
Looks like the 90s and Rodney King, all over again.
@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov so about the resources you mentioned....any going to investigating this crime?
That's some Planet of the Apes shit

What has commonly been called rebellion has more often been nothing but a manly and glorious struggle in opposition to the lawless power of rebellious kings and princes. Samuel Adams
This is just America. Cops brutalize people no matter the president. That’s why “defund the police” was a real policy position, not aesthetic scaremongering like the liberals painted it.
Liberals didnt paint BLM. The media accepted a white male narrative and presented it unflinchingly.
Yes. Liberals. That’s what I said. It wasn’t the narrative that the right painted of antifa supersoldiers that destroyed it. It was liberals going “wahhh no police are important we can’t defund them that’s bad messaging!”
Defund was a conservative psyop. Indeed.
Defund was a real movement. The libs who said “no that’s bad! Reform! More training!” fucked everything up.
Lol. No.
Or the Governor!!! 😡

Funny, they don't warn you about this on their Bluesky account. bsky.app/profile/lapd...

LA police chief / commissioner needs to be accountable for these actions. Be a real shame if members of his family were subjected to proportionate response....
Yea possibly attacking family members who may be kids makes you equally as bad as them. You’re on my side here. But I’m still going to call you out for bullshit like this. Be better.
No, it doesn’t make one “as bad as them”. That’s ridiculous infantile logic.
You are not the solution if your plan is to kill innocents. You’re no better than who you want to fight. I fight for justice for all, that includes the kids and family of evil men and women. You don’t punish people for the sins of their parents. That is vengeance. Not justice.
I’m sure you’re never invited to parties.

It seems like a time to recall your Declaration of independence with the right of citizens to struggle against tyranny.

A little over the top,eh?
How easily people become tools of oppression.
This is pure evil. Find out who they are on those horses.
that's horse abuse.
That’s going to cost the city $5mm+
What was his crime?
Horses will actively avoid stepping on people given the choice — that officer is engaging in abuse of his partner for the sole purpose of inflicting brutality. He should be fired — full stop.
I will never forgive those mfers for this We already had Jan 6 that traumatized the country They should be working to avoid ever descending to this again Gdamn them for killing my country
Can’t wait for this man to sue them into oblivion.
No wonder they were so afraid of hot wheels putting "to punish and enslave" on a toy car. Couldn't be seen as the villains by the public!
Horrible!!!!!!
With so much tax I pay to the government every year, it’s appalling it’s used to raise these despicable animals(not those horses) in the government
WTF!!!
Maybe CA does need to call out the Guard…on the LAPD.
LAPD showing up looking for some communists to beat up: “Finally: some action”
OMG get the names of those officers and charge them
Excessive in every possible way.
Why are LAPD taking orders from Trump's regime? Surely they are under LA/ Cali control?
IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL LAWSUITS & PETA needs to get involved Horses are not trained to trample ppl These cops need to be fired & black listed from ever working in law enforcement
PETA would shoot the horses and say there was no other way.
“These horses have already tasted blood, they must be put down” or some steamy 💩 like that.
No they would not They might shoot the cops though🤨
Have you seen the shit PETA has done? They have kidnapped peoples' pets and killed them. They sponsor kill shelters. They don't care about animals at all, they only care about spectacle
Show proof of what you say? An organization based on the ethical treatment of animals would probably only kill animals who are beyond help bc of the terrible acts of humans
www.peta.org/features/pet...
You literally linked their own site. "We investigated ourselves and found no corruption" One of the first instances: apnews.com/article/0c70... And the snopes: www.snopes.com/fact-check/p...
99% of their killing of animals is bc of the horrific conditions the animals are in So let's be clear about that 1 incident doesn't make them villains As the intentions of most agencies is to help, it's the ppl they've hired who've forgotten the mission
That wasn't the only incident and if the people they've hired are going beyond the mission, then that is representative of them for not removing said individuals. They also don't go after actual fox farms, nor do they go after abusers. They go after what gets them fame. They lost their way years ago
If you've heard of ACAB that means even though there are good cops, they don't stay long because the bad ones will push them out. One bad apple spoils the bunch. If you do not remove the bad agents/workers, they will continue to tarnish your purpose.
Wanna know something? A lot of organizations are lying shitheads. For example: Autism Speaks claims to 'help autistic people' but then treats their own autistic employees like shit and frequently wants to 'cure' autism, which doesn't need it. They also vilify autistic adults.
New and inventive ways do reenact Rodney King
Some of those that work forces
Now would be a good time for the DA to announce at least an investigation/grand jury into what one could argue looks like, given what a horse's hoof can do to a human head, attempted murder.
🥲🥲🥲🥲
This is the second video I have seen from LAPD on horseback being assholes!!! There is no reason for this. And they say, protesters are violent... show them this video.
like, WTF are they doing????????????????????
Beating people up!!!
