In the first second, someone tries to throw burning gasoline on a horse. That’s trying to set a horse on fire.

I didn’t see anyone trying to set fire to horses in this video. I did see a police horse trample a defenceless citizen who was clearly and justifiably frightened and displaying no threatening behaviour and subsequently a police officer hit the same non-threatening citizen with a long stick.

I don’t see where that’s happening. All I see is a line of fire appearing underneath some trees’ canopy. I can see neither who throws it, how, nor what they’re throwing it at; the canopy obscures everything.
Are you claiming you can see what they’re throwing it at? If so, could you take a screenshot and highlight the target?

You can clearly see the horse they’re throwing the fire at.

LOL you’re gaslighting me. I just said I can’t see what they’re throwing at and you responded by telling me I can clearly see what they’re throwing at.
I’ll repeat myself: I cannot clearly see what they’re throwing the fire at.

They hit him because he’s behind the line. By law they can use force to compel him to move. I wish people understood the laws. If the police declare an unlawful assembly, they can use force to compel you to move.
In layman’s terms, they can hit you until you leave the area.

I don’t understand what line you’re referring to.
But he got up and started to move and then yet another police officer forcefully pulled him back on to the ground. What you’re saying doesn’t make sense.
Having the right to hit someone isn’t a reason to hit someone. The police officer who hit the citizen with a long stick had no apparent reason to hit him.

They had given a dispersal order. The police line means he should be moving forward and away from the police. Umm… have the right is a reason to hit someone.
THey hit him because he wouldn’t leave. People don’t understand, once you are told to leave, leave or you will be hit. Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn’t a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves. The police are not your parents. If they have the to use force, they can and will.

Why is having a right to hit someone a reason to hit them?
So you’re saying the police have the right to hit whoever they like for as long as they like, all they have to do is prevent them from leaving the area? That’s crazy.
The point is that they didn’t need to use force in this instance.
