Ah the naivete. Make sure you don't fall off that high horse you're liable to hurt yourself.

I'm sure if they fell and are injured they were breaking horse riding law.

That's what the police report says anyway. The bodycams had a rather peculiarly timed malfunction during the event. But hey, the two policemen involved investigated each other and decided that it wasn't them, so it's all good... Foolish rider injured himself by not holding onto the saddle more. Funny how all the injuries are police baton shaped. That seems to happen a lot. I wonder if there is any law of nature that gives them that shape all by itself.

Well, yeah, you're gonna get a police baton-shaped injury when you're riding your horse illegally and fall off the horse right onto the police baton.

90% of the time it's either a bot, or the suspect in a Criminal Minds episode.

Yes there's nothing more naive than these deadbrained peaheads who think police are their enemy or just there to mistreat people. That's not mere naivete, it's sheer stupidity and lack of good upbringing.
