It would be nice if we had an education system that actually taught the history of forces protecting the wealth class and their property over the safety, needs, and rights of the common individual and masses.

I was taught this in the USA.
Go to your board of education meetings. It doesn’t just have to be conservative fucks controlling things
I’m glad you were. I’m a teacher. I have no such experience, but there were books on the matter in my libraries as a kid, that’s how i found out and went down the path of finding out some of what I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
As a teacher you ought to be uniquely situated to impact the thing …
Art teacher, but yes, I do my best to do my part.
This needs to be considered animal cruelty. It's basically a circus act, pigs riding on horses.
Police horses are trained to hurt people, just like police dogs.
They are more trained to not respond to people, and to follow the commands of the rider. The horses are just doing their job, it's the pig riding it that does the hurting.
Police dogs though, that's a can of worms.

Police horses are trained to kick the shit out of crowrds, which is why the police even use them.
Who's in charge of the state troopers? Pretty sure it would be the governor, hmmmm.
I am confused, why are they just letting the horses through? Where are the buckets of paint to cover the goggles? Where are the smoke bombs? Where are the strobe lights? Where is the red rover joined arms line? I’m just an armchair observer from over 20 hours away but the people in this video seem rather unorganized compared to like Hong Kong a few years ago.
Modern power LEDs with ratings beyond one kilowatt and a strobing effect control will take care of horses and riders.
I've heard drums can be effective
