GALVESTON

Photographs of a black man being led with a rope behind two white police officers on horseback drew accusations of racism against the police department Monday.


The photos show Donald Neely being led down the middle of 23rd Street between two police officers on horseback. Neely appears to have his hands tied behind his back and is being led down the street by a rope held by one of the officers.

The officers’ action struck some people as racist and they likened the photographs to historic images of slavery.

Galveston’s police chief and city manager said they believed the officers used poor judgment in the situation portrayed in the photograph.

These two need to be fired immediately and stripped of their certifications and pensions.

It says that their backup was busy, so they followed a different procedure.

I think one of the officers should have dismounted and walked with the perp. The other could have leashed his horse.

fuckoff

Galveston’s police chief and city manager said they believed the officers used poor judgment in the situation portrayed in the photograph.

“Although this is a best practice in certain scenarios, I don’t think it was the best practice at this point in time,” Police Chief Vernon Hale said.




A police unit the officers had called to transport the first man arrested was not available to pick up Neely, so the officers chose to walk Neely to the intersection of 21st and Market streets, where the mounted units were staging, according to the police department.

The officers appeared to use proper techniques in leading Neely while on horseback, but the practice is usually reserved for extracting people from large, dense crowds, Hale said.

“It is a valid training technique for transporting prisoners in the proper scenarios,” Hale said. “In my opinion, quite frankly, I think my guys showed some poor judgment in this scenario. It wasn’t a crowd-control scenario or anything like that. They should have waited on a unit.”



Neely, 43, has a history of arrests dating back to 1994, including six other criminal trespassi

That would be my thought since they were only going a block or so.

Aside from everything else, there is a safety issue. While these horses are highly trained, there have been incidents where one has bolted. What happens to the cuffed suspect if that happens?

He prays that the one with the rope in his hand lets go.

one could have easily walked the handcuffed trespasser, or they could even have taken him into a fast food joint and fed him a burger (like cops did with some other guy arrested for a mass shooting) as they waited for backup.

SEMINARY, Miss. (WDAM) - A second suspect pleaded guilty Monday to burning a cross in a predominantly African American area of Seminary on Oct. 24, 2017.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Graham Williamson, 38, pleaded guilty to interference with housing rights, a federal civil rights violation, and conspiring to use fire to commit a felony. Louie Bernard Revette pleaded guilty to the same charges in April.

Both men face decades in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for the crimes. Revette is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 5, and Williamson’s sentencing is set for Nov. 5.

According to the DOJ, Williamson admitted he and Revette built the cross from materials found at Revette’s home and burned it in the Keys Hill area of Seminary in an attempt to threaten, frighten and intimidate a juvenile and other African American residents in the area.

“The defendant used a violent symbol of racial intimidation to threaten these victims and inspire fear, while they resided in the security of their own homes,” said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division. “The Department of Justice does not tolerate these hateful and historically egregious acts and will continue to vigorously prosecute criminals who violate the civil rights of peaceful community members.”
