A photographer with The Kansas City Star saw a woman slap a police horse in the face. When officers pointed her out for arrest, she disappeared into the crowd.

Police said Foster approached an officer and his horse named Dan and began yelling and screaming in the horse’s face, trying to scare the animal.

“When this tactic did not work she attempted to push my horse with no success. I observed this to only make her more angry and violent and in a last attempt she struck my horse in the face with an open hand,” the officer’s report said.

The officer said Foster then ran away and they weren’t able to catch up to her due to the size of the crowd.

God, folks are stupid! I despise Trump's message and behavior but acting like an a-hole only builds his following. George Wallace employed the same tactics and became a political force, agitating folks so they would act out and turn off the public....protests are a basic right but one must consider the motivation, are these folks genuine or clowns and stooges looking for their "15 minutes of fame"? Exactly how does striking a horse or berating a police officer secure the moral high ground?
