I didn't see anyone trying to set fire to horses in this video. I did see a police horse trample a defenceless citizen who was clearly and justifiably frightened and displaying no threatening behaviour and subsequently a police officer hit the same non-threatening citizen with a long stick for no apparent reason.

They hit him because he’s behind the line. By law they can use force to compel him to move. I wish people understood the laws. If the police declare an unlawful assembly, they can use force to compel you to move.

In layman’s terms, they can hit you until you leave the area.

I don't understand what line you're referring to.

By law they can use force to compel him to move.

But he got up and started to move and then yet another police officer forcefully pulled him back on to the ground. What you're saying doesn't make sense.

In layman’s terms, they can hit you until you leave the area.

Having the right to hit someone isn't a reason to hit someone. The police officer who hit the citizen with a long stick had no apparent reason to hit him.

They had given a dispersal order. The police line means he should be moving forward and away from the police. Umm.. have the right is a reason to hit someone.
THey hit him because he wouldn't leave. People don't understand, once you are told to leave, leave or you will be hit. Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn't a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves. The police are not your parents. If they have the to use force, they can and will.

have the right is a reason to hit someone

Why is having a right to hit someone a reason to hit them? I have the right to smash my own hand to pulp with a hammer but the fact that I have that right isn't a reason for me to do it.

Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn't a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves.

So you're saying the police have the right to hit whoever they like for as long as they like, all they have to do is prevent them from leaving the area? That's crazy.

That isn’t what I said at all. They didn’t prevent him from leaving. He didn’t leave.

They didn’t prevent him from leaving.

As I already pointed out, they did prevent him from leaving. He got up and started to move and then a police officer forcefully pulled him back on to the ground.

And what was his fate? Arrested ?

LOL WTF are you talking about?

[–] Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I think it is clear. Which word confused you?

[–] rah@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

No word confused me, I was confused by you changing the subject away from you being wrong.

[–] Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I wasn't wrong. I explained to you what the law allows.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

The law allows rioting and burning, but only if you do it for trump.
