Outrage after photo shows a man handcuffed and a rope was clipped to the handcuffs before he was led walking down the street by the two Galveston Police officers on horseback.
Galveston, Texas — The Galveston Police Department is apologizing for the way officers arrested a black man over the weekend,reported. The department said two officers arrested a 43-year-old man for criminal trespass in downtown Galveston.
A photo of the arrest was taken and shared on social media. It shows the man with his hands behind his back, walking between the horses and the officers, with one of the officers holding the blue rope. "While this technique of using mounted horses to transport a person during an arrest is considered a best practice in certain scenarios, such as during crowd control, the practice was not used correctly in this instance," the department said.
