Metropolitan police watch Occupy DC demonstrators as they try to block the guest entrance to the Alfalfa Dinner at the Capital Hilton in Washington on Saturday.Draft Horses? Oakland Police need draft horses? Budweiser anyone?
The one in the foreground looks like a Percheron and not a Clydesdale. They used to be plow horses.
"I (click here) saw a very young woman on the ground. She had been beaten earlier, and she
had to go to the hospital. ... Apparently her only crime had been being present
at the protest when she was beaten by the police." – Kevin Army, eyewitness
to OPD's attack last night on OCCUPY OAKLAND
People of the community complain about the demonstrators, but, when it comes right down to it, the complaints reflect every reason to continue to bring the establishment to the plight they seem to share. I doubt "Occupy Oakland" is limiting their community to caucasian people alone. While the community sees their issues differently and separate from the demonstrators, they sincerely aren't. Gentrification is a Wall Street invention to return real estate to their 'For Sale' pages. It would be nice to have neighborhoods rehabilitated, but, without homelessness would be better.
...In fact, I told the man that Occupy Oakland (click here) distracts Oakland from its own issues. He asked me what some of those issues were. I didn’t know where to begin. How about the gentrification that treats African Americans like “blight” to be removed from our own homes? Then our politicians applaud the new “diversity.” Our politicians worry about polishing Oakland’s image and an Oakland Renaissance, even as Oakland’s children get killed in the streets....
Draft Horses? For real?
Those poor animals.
I would think apples or carrots would do the trick.
Whatever.
The draft horses to the right are pulling a cultivator. I don't know, maybe Oakland taught the poor animals to bite. If they are aggressive it is completely out of character. I mean what did they do to them?
