This is NOT a very recent event. This was originally published on July 8, 2019 on Wordpress. It was later removed by Wordpress along with everything else I published there. I happened to archive this before it was censored.
Also, this served as the basis for the video Who Does Antifa ACTUALLY Attack? Ep. 13 More Horses? (November 2, 2019)
You may remember in Episode 4 we covered a case in which Antifa allegedly stabbed a police horse in the neck with a spike tipped flag pole. It seems we have more cases of Horse being attacked by Antifa. This time it was outside a Trump rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
On October 11th, Medaria Arradondo – Chief of Police of Minneapolis put out this public statement;
“On October 10, 2019 the President and Vice President of the United States came to the City of Minneapolis for a campaign rally. This visit motivated tens of thousands of people to visit our vibrant downtown.
Officers from agencies across the metro assisted the Minneapolis Police Department to enhance public safety. Officers worked to ensure people’s First Amendment right to assemble, speak freely and protest. MPD appreciates the community support demonstrated by the law-abiding attendees and their partnership to create a peaceful expression of passionate views.
While the vast majority of people that gathered were peaceful and respectful, officers did engage with some individuals and groups demonstrating aggressive or illegal behavior to address issues related to life safety and property damage. Officers further engaged when assaulted during their response. Objects containing liquid believed to be urine were hurled at some of my officers along with bottles and rocks. Police horses were also assaulted by protesters striking them with sticks.
MPD officers used appropriate levels of force including chemical irritant while responding to, at times, violent and aggressive individuals causing harm to others in attendance. In addition, officers practiced admirable restraint and utilized de-escalation skills to defuse tensions by exiting crowds. As with every use of force, there will be an internal review to ensure policy and procedures were followed. Our primary responsibility will remain to provide for the peace and safety of all those we serve”
They also posted that to Facebook.
The Minnesota Sun reported on this on October 13th with “Minneapolis Police Chief Says Protesters Threw ‘Objects’ Containing ‘Urine’ at Officers During Trump Rally” and Town Hall reported on it on the 13th with “Minneapolis Police Chief: Antifa Threw Urine, Bottles, and Rocks at Officers, Hit Horses with Sticks” .
Just a reminder – in this series we have seen these people who claim to defend members of what they call marginalized groups attack members of almost any such group you can think of; women, so-called people of color, gay people, transgender people (purposely de-gendering them and mocking them, by the way), disabled folks, immigrants, elderly, adolescents, the occasional white-supremacist and/or neo-nazi type, Bernie supporters, random passers-by, dogs, a horse and now more horses.
They are not what they claim to be. They are an excuse to engage in violence against innocent people with the opportunity to be immune to the consequences of doing so.
