A Texas police department altered a policy Monday after pictures surfaced showing white officers on horses leading a handcuffed black man on a rope.
According to the Galveston Police Department, the officers, identified as P. Brosch and A. Smith, arrested Donald Neely, 43, for criminal trespass on Saturday.
The officers were"familiar" with Neely, and he had been warned about trespassing at the location where he was arrested from, the statement said. He was led on the rope about two blocks to"where the Mounted Patrol Unit was staging from." "My officers did not have any malicious intent at the time of the arrest," Hale said."But we have immediately changed the policy to prevent the use of this technique and will review all mounted training and procedures for more appropriate methods.""I applaud the Chief’s swift action in the discontinuance of the transport technique used in the arrest of Mr. Neely," she said.
