Is that why they’ve got horses?

I’ve long questioned the utility of horse cops. While police officers will say that they need them for crowd control, it often feels like the police only have them because they’ve already bought all of the tanks they wanted and “horse” was their last remaining idea. “The whole department has A.K.s now — why not give them ponies, too?”

We’ve already seen horse cops in action when someone *isn’t* allegedly committing a crime. Now, we know how these saddled-up officers respond when someone *is* allegedly committing a crime — in this case, dealing drugs.
