Patrick Brosch and Officer A. Smith from 306 22nd St to the Mounted Patrol Unit on 21st and Market escorting Donald Neely to booking, quite literally bound by a rope. This is not a joke.
Police in Texas are catching intense criticism online today as images of cops leading a black man under arrest by a rope to booking have surfaced online. No, that first line in this article was not a joke and this is very very real as it is absolutely terrifying.
It appeears Neely is openly homeless and it is publicly known thanks to his family that he is suffering from mental illness. Despite such (and the local PD confirmed that they were familiar with him) they decided not to wait for an actual transport, instead, tied him to a rope and escorted him as they rode their horses.
The Daily Mail reports that the officers in question will not face disciplinary action despite this being eerily reminiscent of the very real times inn which black people were actually treated this way by law enforcemennt during the times of slavery.
