The Galveston Municipal Police Association defended the actions of two mounted officers that arrested and led a black man with a rope, an image that drew outcry from some in the community.
GMPA president Geoff Gainer slammed the media on Wednesday for its reporting on the story, accusing journalists of "fanning the flames of discord" in a "country is roiled by recent tragic events." The cops' actions were not motivated by racial animus, and the technique used is common practice for mounted cops across the nation, Gainer said.
Officers arrested Donald Neely on charges of criminal trespass over the weekend. At the time of the arrest, no police units were available to transport Neely to jail. The officers escorted him to a mounted unit staging area to wait by tying a rope to his hands and leading him from horseback.

More typical Democrat rhetoric. Seriously they could have thrown him across the back of one of the horses lol like the real cow boy days. Black society has become hyper sensitive to everything. I knew this was the road after Ohbammy was no longer the head Libtard. It is not a rope it is a lead line. They make it sound like he was lynched. Sad they are superior athletes but dumb as a chunk.
OMG! They made him WALK!!
