It kinda does, yes.
Because your honest criticism is the side dish to your entree of being a complete jerk about it.
Do you work for big gift card?
::checks watch:: I love when someone projects their anger issues on me before noon.
I have heard this before “the dog doesn’t like black people.” Surprise! Its owners never do, either.
So, dog’s just don’t dislike black people unless you train them that way.
“What they did was real inhumane,” Neely’s brother, Andy Neely, noted to KPRC. “They treated my brother as if he was a dog.”
They love their whiteness more than Jesus.
I would wait for a car. Anyone who understands the history of race in America should understand that the optics of leading a black man through town tied to a horse are going to be far worse for everyone than simply waiting for a car. Anyone who doesn’t understand the history of race in America is too ignorant to be a…
“reverted to their training”

Walking a black man around on leash while riding horses, in Texa, these guys will probably end up getting some prize like a washer/dryer set up.
What the fuck? Have the Rangers not heard of laws against official malfeasance?
To be honest, what sort of civilised country in 2019 should have to explicitly write a rule that it is not ok for police officers on horseback to parade a suspect through town on a leash like a runaway slave?
So whether right or wrong, it would be legal.
If police are barely investigated, hardly charged, and scarcely convicted for killing black people—on video—why would they face any sort of consequence for parading a black man through the streets tied to a rope while on horseback?
