Se they wan use am for sacrifice ni

londoner:


horses are used in many cities I have visited, including New York, many across Australia and my hometown London.

Many times mounted police are a deterent. Its not really about transportation.

That's interesting. ..
Here in France, where am schooling, police don't use horse.

izzo22:
you a mumu a big one for that matter...go and ask the UK police what dy do wift horses they have

My mum said I should not reply insults from bastards

Horses are important in police work

From WikiPedia.....Mounted Police

[i]Mounted police are police who patrol on horseback (equestrians) or camelback. They continue to serve in remote areas and in metropolitan areas where their day-to-day function may be picturesque or ceremonial,

Don't mock the Governor.....he knows what he is doing (at least in this instance)

The bolded is what you should've been paying attention to and not the other gibberish which you obviously understood little of yourself.

londoner:
Mounted police patrol are the norm in many/if not most main western cities. They must be still using them for a reason.

Take a look at the list of mountedcpolice worldwide

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mounted_police_units

I think Nigerians are far too obsessed with all things shiney.

Why do you clowns come online and just spill nonsense to your readers? As big as New York City is, Mounted police can only be found within a two block radius in Time Square and they are only there for ceremonial and picturesque reasons (like my last post stated). Act crazy and you'll see Power Bikes and Crown Victorias come at your from every angle you can imagine.

The Governor pulled a silly move, and I think this goes to show the level of thinking of the person in charge of the state.

Horse-rider..wit AK47

Well NY is not the only place that uses mounted police In London, they are used, and it is beyond just ceremony, they arealso used across Australia. No one is saying there should be no vehicles for the police, obviously there are in addition.

The governor is also not proposing that they should replace vehicles. He has already distributed the police vehicles back in April. Mounted police are to enhance security. I must say, I have been in places that were in fact calmed down by the presence of police on horseback. That is both in the UK and Australia.

My issue is not that he is introducing mounted police, my concern is whether there is actual training, facilities and policies in place for mounted police and police horses.

At the end of the day, if he introduces dogs now, people will shout as if the use of dogs in policing, security have not proved useful elsewhere.

There are many things a car can do, but it cant give you the vantage point that a horse can. Both working together is better than just one alone, in my opinion.

And you cleverly omitted this bit...(sauce)

[b]but they are also employed in crowd control because of their mobile mass and height advantage and increasingly in the UK for crime prevention and high visibility policing roles. The added height and visibility that the horses give their riders allow officers to observe a wider area, but it also allows people in the wider area to see the officers, which helps deter crime and helps people find officers when they need them.[1] Mounted police may be employed for specialized duties ranging from patrol of parks and wilderne, football matches and demonstrations.ss areas, where police cars would be impractical or noisy, to riot duty, where the horse serves to intimidate those whom it is desired to disperse through its larger size, or may be sent in to detain trouble makers or offenders from the crowd. For example, in the UK, mounted police are most often seen at football matches, although they are also a common sight on the streets of many towns and cities as a visible police presence and crime deterrent during the day and night. Some mounted police units are trained in search and rescue due to the horse's ability to travel where vehicles cannot.[/b]

And from this article in the Nigerian Guardian....

LEVELS of public trust and confidence in police are higher when officers are deployed on horseback, a report suggests.

The number of mounted units in Britain has fallen from 17 in 2012 to 12 in 2014, amid pressures on budgets.

And the study commissioned by the Association of Chief Police Officers set out to assess the value of the patrols.

Researchers say they could have a greater role in neighbourhood policing.

Interviews with police and the public were conducted by the University of Oxford and research group RAND Europe between February 2013 and August 2014.

They examined the reaction of members of the public when neighbourhood patrols by pairs of mounted police officers were trialled in three areas in Gloucestershire and London in March 2014.

They also looked at the use of mounted units at the Glastonbury Festival, football matches and demonstrations.(more here)

Hope this helps.

Absolutely not true! Again you're speaking on something you know nothing about. How many times have you seen policemen on horses patrolling the cities of London outside of Trafalgar Sqr and other tourist filled areas? What about the inner cities of Melbourne? What about Sydney or Adelaide?

The Governor fumbled, period.

Are you ok? What the hell did I cleverly omit? I do not disagree that they are used for ceremonial duties, festivals or sporting events. What I said is that they are not used for everyday policing... unless maybe you live in Amish County.

Nigerian Guardian?! Really?! Horses in which London or New York are used where vehicles cannot? You think those cities' roads are like Anambras that is a mixture of clay, tar and mud?

You lot should learn to speak on what you know about.

Haba, your sounding too encyclopeadic as much as your sounding insultive and abusive, check out the comments of those arguing with you and see how civil they are but you keep abusing and insulting people to drive home your assertions.

Do you think if these people stopped replying you that you have won, they just back off because they discovered you dont do solid arguement but throw tantrums and insults with reckless abandone.

Tone its down and argue, stop insulting, well Ibadan people na their way shaa, starting off the day by throwing abuses, if they want to greet each other they will start with insults.

No, this is the bolded in full
in metropolitan areas where their day-to-day function may be picturesque or ceremonial
The description you want to highlight is for metropolitan areas and they even wrote (may be) which indicates that it isn't the same for all metropolitan areas. One thing that is indisputable though, is their use in remote areas.

I still do not understand whatever it is you're trying to say. I quoted what was relevant to my point, how is that so hard to understand or don't you know how "quotations" work?

Anyway, my point--- and bottom line is--- horses are not used as everyday policing vehicles or transport in major western cities. If you insist on that, then I insist you've got no idea what you're talking about.

Remote Areas like where?

Please, give instances in the U.S and U.K since you seem to know these places so well.

stop arguing nonsense here. The governor bought those horses for crowd control and to enhance security which he stated before now. Besides, the police in the state have not told you they are lacking cars for patrol. The governors action is commendable and its a popular practice elsewhere. He needs to add dogs to the mix. Everyone agrees the governor has done well so he needs to consolidate. If you have less information on something, do not be quick to come and talk trash.

ISpiksDaTroof is here to troll. People, stop giving him attention and he'll be weakened.

Ok, you're right, I agree. But, In 6months I'd really appreciate you telling us how many of those horses are still alive and haven't been eaten or sold. Also, please remember to give us figures of how many crimes were averted or solved due to your fine Arabian Stallions.

If the Governor was smart, instead of buying hungry mares that'll become malnourished and abused in less than 60days, why didn't he provide the police with a command center equipped with fingerprint capture capabilities--- linking up all the police stations and precincts in the state--- so that anyone arrested could be captured in its database so if they are skip court or commit another crime in the state(while under a previous court order) their identities/criminal records within the state could immediately be ascertained once in custody.

That way, criminals know there's no hiding place for them in the State and they would be forced to relocate thereby making his jurisdiction crime free or at least substantially less so.

That's how you stop crime instead of buying worthless horses that are really of no use.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to use their heads when it comes to the simplest things.
