2. If horses didn't trust their rider, their rider would be thrown off,

and possibly trampled.

4. isn't just that, police horses are trained for crowd control situations...

and not to shy at things they normally would by instinct (crowd noise and loud noises ranging from music up to and including fireworks and gunfire).

3. they backed up, and went to flank the crowd

scanner saying they are trying to whittle them out...

one of the protestors is guiding the crowd, chants, reminding them we are all okay, all CALM

bringing in the LRAD trucks......?

5. protestors singing the national anthem
