That wasn’t just holding on,that was a blatant yank on the chain......how dare they feel the need to touch anything attached to the tack or even the horse.....makes my blood boil!
It makes me boil too and he thought it was funny 😠😡
It makes my blood boil too. The thing is those tourists think it's funny, what's there to laugh about?
Me too💥
I agree
What do you expect from those lot???
"The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."
Charles Bukowski
Oh, thank you for quoting Bukowski! I've collected and read him for almost 50 years.
Sadly, that's why the stupid people run the world and go so far! God supposedly praises common sense, yet He insists on catering to the senseless!
" Often wrong, never in doubt "
That unfortunately extends to having kids too. The people who would be decent parents often don't have kids becasue they're ovey cautious about finances or making mistakes. Meanwhile, the idiots and degenerates have no issue with breeding like rabbits.
Never heard that...but I'll remember it! Thanks
We're living in an age where you have to explain to a grown man the difference between right and wrong.
Thank you for your comment! 👍
He probably comes from a country where no-one knows.
@@suebryanwilliams8611
Everybody knows right from wrong, he was just arrogant and from his smile afterwards didn't get the seriousness of what he had done.
Some people think the rules don't apply to them, look at Yellowstone and people not willing to keep a sensible distance from the wildlife.
@@suebryanwilliams8611 a country that was probably colonized by your people that so obviously know the difference between right and wrong
It’s called entitlement. Some people think they have it like that. He must have felt like a fool.
That guy should have been immediately arrested
He was "given some advice" ie; "Do that again and you *WILL* be arrested".
I think his son looks like he will grow up to be as simple as his father.
Lol His kid looked.... idk... like a weirdo, smiling like that after getting scolded was weird lol 😂 He looks weird lol
💯%
I think the boys mother is the dads sister or a close blood relative.
😂😂😂
He Already is
The Apple never falls far from the Tree,
🥴
The fact that he also touched the police officer shows he feels superior to everyone.
No he just wanted to de escalate after his stupid behavior. I think he felt bad and he knew he messed up.
An alpha male would never have acknowledged his wrongdoings
Actually, his touching the officer is a subconscious action indicating dominance. If you research it along with the meaning of body language, you will understand others deeper than they know themselves.
@@Boss_Tanaka There was zero remorse shown during his talk with the police officer.
Exactly!!
@@Boss_TanakaDid you really just use the term, “alpha male” unironically? Lmao at your tater tot nonsense.
That kid smiling at 203 it's obvious how smug and rotten his whole family is.😢poor kid.
The way he pats the officers shoulder makes it worse - trying to show he’s in control or that he owes no respect to anyone. One can tell by how his kid just giggles at the situation that dad thinks he’s on top of the world and can get away with whatever. Should have arrested or cited the dummy.
Kid is just laughing cause Dad is in trouble.
And the patting of the officer's shoulder by the insufferable person, as if he's in control. What a gadfly.
That creeped me out when he touched the cop.
The grinning from him, plus possibly his wife and son, was very irritating, too. They seemed to think that any attention was fun, even being spoken to by an armed policeman. I think they should have been told to leave the area.
@@genny9026 Leave the UK more like!
@@jonathanlake6053 😂 I bet they came here for a while because everyone where they live was fed up of them.
The whole thing was super cringe.
The fact that he's still upright and breathing is a clear sign of the level of patience these guards have. Were it me, he'd be flat on the ground with hoof prints up his back. That was absolutely unacceptable under ANY circumstances!
Totally agree with you. They are on duty as is the horse 🐴.
Not only that, the horses are well trained, so are the rides, but accidents can happen, and these people on horseback could be seriously injured.
Altijd triest voor het paard die wordt de dupe van aan deze teugels trekken.
Deze man dacht dat dit mocht. Hij was zeker verbaasd dat de guard dat niet wilden.
Dan brengen ze excuses aan de politie. Daar hebben ze meer ontzag mee dan de guard zelfs 😢😢😢😢
@@Loes731 Leuk om hier een Nederlands commentaar te lezen.
deze toeristen lezen geen waarschuwingen blijkbaar, alleen maar een beetje dom lachen.
Ik erger mij hier ook vreselijk aan.
Ik snap sowieso niet waarom iedereen zonodig op de foto moet naast het paard.
@@nunya2954 as could the horse!
He was pulling on that rein as if he was going to lead the horse. As a “cousin from across the pond”, I’m shocked at how people think they can link arms or go across shoulders or even touch arms of the guards, then have the audacity to stare at the guard as if HE’S the rude one when he pushes them or says something.
As an Indian, I feel ashamed of this - the man appears to be a compatriot. TBH I've seen too many fellow Indians crossing limits abroad. Somehow, many of us lack the sensibility required to be resposible travellers.
We've only got to understand that we experience a similar sense of hurt when foreign tourists come to India (or any other culturally-rich Asian country for that matter) and disrespect our culture or customs.
Respect is always a mutual thing.
Sometimes people get over excited when they travel abroad plenty of British people do the same actually British tourists have a terrible reputation.
@@paulworgan6599 I guess people do get a bit carried away when they are on a holiday. After all, what's the point of travelling if you can't let your hair down and have some fun.
Also, in this era of selfies, all that people are looking for is some outlandish or bizarre activity that they can capture on their phones, to gain that one-upmanship on social media later. Sometimes, they end up doing stupid things, as is the case here in this video.
Interesting point about British tourists - I'm not sure I agree. I've always found them to be quite respectful and dignified when travelling - unless, of course, they've been to the pub and have had one too many. ;)
@@gautamv952 I’m glad that the British are behaving better 😂😂😂😂😂
The son was the smart one, even with the father egging him on out of frame. 👍
Send them over here to America. We have bison at Yellowstone they can pet.
He should have been fined and he should also apologise to the guard. What a moron.🙄
That is an excellent collection idea. Give any money from fines to the soldiers
@@auntieWarrWhy give the money to the soldiers? They aren't tramps. Give the money to tramps and hobos.
@@jeffrey44 Give it to anyone - guards, homeless people, animal shelters, childrens' hospitals...but fine the hell out of the jerks.
@@StellaWaldvogel What about using it to build mosques and fund Islamic activities?
What about debt ur in. Pay for that
Oh and notice how he pats the arm of the police, like it's no big deal, between us boys. This is an entitled guy.
Yes, he should have got told off for that too.
A real smarta*s
I would have knocked his hand off. Cop isn't his mate.
He just cannot keep his hands to himself.
You’re right, I noticed that too.
The Policeman should have said "And don't touch me either!". Some people are unbelievably ignorant and entitled.
That policeman sure wiped the stupid grin off his face.
If you're going to visit another country or you live inside the country you must respect all their traditions and rules. Stupidity is not an excuse..
I bet he’d have been arrested if he’d done that in his home country. Pleading being a visitor doesn’t cut it. He was obviously being a total show off. Well he succeeded in looking a fool
We, as a nation, are much too tolerant. Not only of these tourists, but of the many others who violate our traditions and history. I know some readers will say we haven't always been the best or fairest, but if you come to this country at least respect our servicemen and women and the horses on display.
@@dougscrivens4002
EXACTLY! Exhibit proper etiquette and show some respect!
@@dougscrivens4002Exactly! If we went and did that in their country, we’d be thrown in the Black Hole!
You don't even have to know the rules, you just have to not be an arrogant idiot like that guy and you'll find yourself happily in compliance with the rules.
What an eejit. If that's his son in the blue polo shirt, he seemed to find it hilarious. The apple apparently hasn't fallen far from the tree.
Is eejit or ejitt?

Rude parent and rude child. Life is usually learned the hard way for these types of people.
@@patrickmalone1902 🤣🤣🤣
As a former horse owner, I just don't understand why some idiots feel it's perfectly okay to walk up and touch someone's horse without asking permission first. The same goes for touching dogs, or any other animals.
It's embarrassing that guide dogs have to wear a sign saying "Don't pet me, I'm working".
EXACTLY!👍
You touch a guard or their horse you go to jail. Full stop. Thanks to social media we now live in a world of pathological narcissists
@thomvogan3397 - pathological is expecting all international tourist who visit this attraction to be able to read English
What a stupid man. The guard did the right thing and a good job.
He wasn't stupid. He's a Middle Eastern minority in the UK and knew there would be no consequences for his actions...
Should have unsheathed the sword
The problem isn't ignorance. The problem isn't entitlement. The problem is that there are NO consequences. It only takes one video one person to be taken away and charged to go viral, then these morons would think twice. Sadly, this behaviour is also seen so often being reinforced in children/teenagers who show nothing but contempt for the guards. Makes me sick.
You're correct - But the problem is, a half hour later there's an entirely different group of tourists there who didn't see the jerk get taken away.
@@ROGER2095 Hence why I mentioned the viral video.
@@ianbeale2527 If only. It might be hard to believe, but most of the world doesn't spend their days looking at their phones.
THEY SHOULD HAVE THE PUBLICS CONTEMPT THEIR GETTIG A FREE RIDE ON TAXPAYER DOLLARS
Eventually somebody else would come along and do the same thing. You under estimate just how incredibly stupid people can be just to get a picture of themselves.
Smile dropped when the policeman walked towards him
I think it shows how wonderfully trained both the rider and horse are. Cudos to them. She immediately got him controlled and calmed down and he listened. That jerk is lucky he didn't get injured doing that.
Absolutely - lots of training and discipline right there. I *loved* when the rider bellowed at the moron. 😅
@@daniellekbingham1104
... with the saber in the hand....
You don't bother a military holding à saber... when you are not stupid.
The police man should have made him apologise to the guard
And to the horse...
Not just for what he did to the horse but also for wearing those shorts.
He should have arrested him. He ignored the instruction on the sign.
@@carolineridlington5010my thought exactly
A man gets no apology, why should the woman and why is the cop fighting her battles for her!?!
That was a terrible yank. He deserved more than a talking to. A fine at least, an arrest, something.

OBVIOUSLY 🙄
@@Guitar-qv6gu Humour?………..
It is very difficult to use sarcasm in written comments on RUclips. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not so obvious.
I've noticed it's really easy to be respectful of other's traditions and to learn about the rules by reading signs...
Am amazed at the control the guard has over the horse. Saw a video where he moved the horse sideways by inches closer to two elderly vets so they could pet the horse and then back into place.
These Tourists need to realise that these are serving Military Personnel not a theme park attraction. even his son thought it was funny maybe learn some manners and respect
I think that is part of the problem. They think that the guards there for a photo opt. They are military and are on duty. When they, the tourist, yank on the chain, there can be serious problems with that. We own horses and I have an understanding of it.
Wow! Talk about blatant disregard and disrespect! You can see by his reaction when walking off, laughing, that he went up there with a plan. He grabbed the chain and yanked, and wouldn't let go until the guard pushed him off with her horse and yelled at him! He perhaps thought the female guard wouldn't challenge him. He should have been arrested. If you touch a K9 officer, a dog, in a unacceptable manner in the U.S., you are charged with assault, as he is a working officer. It should be no different there. Well done to the guard in getting him away from her and her partner! Once settled, she reassured her horse.
Totally agree. He had it planned and thought it was great after he'd done it. He should have been arrested and fined. Likely he's a visitor to the UK, so putting him in jail would be more trouble than needed ( missed flights, no visa to stay longer, family would have to go home without him, etc) , so a hefty fine might make these asshat think twice about such disrespect to working soldiers and their horses.
@@Gwennedd
After reading your comment, I would agree with you in regards to putting him in jail. Perhaps it wouldn't be prudent as he is likely just a visitor. A hefty fine would be better than nothing. He gets a little talking to by the officer, and walks away smiling.
plus the dog gets to bite the fool.
And what appears to be his kid is apparently just like him, grinning like an idiot while the police officer talked to him.
Definitely need a no touch of anything rule! Even exhibits in a museum have more rights and protections.
They think it’s Disneyland -instead of actual soldiers on duty
I live in California, I see many jerks like this. They have no respect and the only way to instill it into them is to arrest them, prosecute them and force them to accept the consequences
I find it disturbing to watch these ignorant tourists behaving like this on a daily basis. The visitors are more than welcome to admire the guards and horses and it's all part of the experience of a visit to London. They somehow feel that they are entitled to behave in this appalling way.
These people believe the kingsguard is a show. They do not understand that these are the top military personnel in the country who have earned the honor of protecting their Monarch. They act like they're in the United States where anything goes.
EXACTLY! A working animal is just that. WORKING. I may compliment the handler "Oh, lovely horse! Nice dog!" and all, but the animal gets nothing from me but an admiring glance. Don't distract them! Simple as that.
They possess more money than brains!
@@sylvisterling8782 The horse isn't working. It provides no protection at all. it's just an ornament.
@@jwsuicides8095 the horse is more than an ornament. Horses are excellent resources in crowd control. New York City has a mounted police group that they use for patrolling and for crowd control.
It is a long-standing mystery as to why the public is even allowed to get this close to all ceremonial guard activities.
It's the military way in the UK as in the public eye and have to show restraint and discipline with the public.
@exbritishforcespatriotscha7723
Maybe, it needs re-examination?
I guess the public and tourists used to behave but now that’s changed
We witnessed this same event last November. A perimeter was created for the crowd. There was a very distinctive semi-circle line to show the proper distance for this guard change. It's a small area.
American tourists are so embarrassing!
Read about the country you are visiting and understand basic etiquette. You're abroad to see other countries/cultures. Want everything to cater to you, please stay home.
@beverlytatum5911
...it depends on what day one visits and time of year. Arabs and Chinese appear to be the least disciplined around these activities.
The look on his kids face . He thinks it's a joke.
Never ceases to amaze me how ignorant people really are!
Ignorance is universal
He wasn't all smiles and chuckles when the policeman had words with him.... He and his ignorant bunch should have been escorted by the police away from the crowd. Make an example of arses like this.
And yeah, I am totally boiling because the horse was so upset! Grrrrr!!
OMG that could of been so dangerous the guard was moving the horse one way and he was pulling it another poor horse The powers to be need to get this sorted sooner rather than later a simple NO touching horse rule is all thats needed
,If you look carefully that mans son went to touch the reins but was scared. The man straight away went and pulled the chain . Idiotic
Yes I agree the signs are all wrong,it should have added do not touch the horses. Something has to be done about this total disrespect. King Charles needs to see a few of these videos,I'm quite surprised that the Late Queen let this happen,knowing her love of horses
@@carolekratzke9500 I doubt that she was ever aware tbh and unless someone makes a point of bringing it to the attention of the King he’ll never be aware either.
It's really hard to explain how a person feels it's ok to abuse that soldier on duty.
The son looks like a real bright boy as they used to say in Hemingways time, he's got mom's good looks and dad's brains.
Absolutely disgusting. They make me so mad when they laugh.
Honestly, I can imagine this guy watching this with his son and laughing how they made it to RUclips.
Yes he probably would. His moment of fame.
@upturnedblousecollar5811 . Spot on , this was a planned deliberate action targeting the tether chain so he could say " I didn't touch the reins ! " . He knew exactly what he was doing probably after watching videos like this and wanting his 15 minutes of fame . Like you say they're laughing about it !
The mounted police in the Netherlands are capable of pushing you aside, or make the horse step on your foot. I remember how a football (soccer) hooligan had actually hit the horse. A minute later the rider made that horse push the man against the fence. I later asked the officer for the man’s reaction. "He squeaked".
That’s how it’s done.
I’m for more of that!
He squeaked!!! 😂😂😂
Stop typing nationalistic nonsense.
@@upturnedblousecollar5811Erm.. being proud of your country isn’t “nationalistic” you melt
And that's all the "cop" is going to do? He should have gotten a ride to jail.
And the guy and his son are smiling! Such entitlement!
Lovely Guard, she should be able to carry out her Duty in peace, I’m glad the officer had words with him.
The 4 o'clock punishment parade for the soldiers started by Queen Victoria should be extended to include people like him . Their punishment cleaning out the horses stables and picking up the litter under the stern eyes of the Captain .
This man knew exactly what he was doing , well done to the lady Trooper that was a great shout , don't mess with a woman on a big horse carrying a sword !
She needed the police. Best leave war to the men.
@@hoodatdondar2664 Sexist.
The Royal Guard are not allowed to arrest people, or even confront them. That's the police's work.
Considering the requirements for becoming part of the Royal Guard (do some research on it - it's fascinating!), I wouldn't mess with any of them, male or female. She can probably reduce those two cops into mush in one fell swoop, imagine that horse yanker...
@@hoodatdondar2664 Best leave comments to adults. She didn't "need the police". She's an active duty soldier and could have given you a workup that would have put you out of commission permanently. Unlike you, however, she has discipline and sticks to protocol, duties and responsibilities.
It is good to see the rapid support for these mounted guards by the police. It’s clear that they will take no crap from rude tourists, and it is good to see that. Thank you for your videos.
Absolutely NO ONE should be allowed within 10 feet of the horse . You can clearly see it agitates the animal .
Admittedly there are some who genuinely don’t understand these signs because they don’t speak or read English, but this man understood exactly what this police officer said to him, so I honestly believe these idiots intentionally ignore the signs and grab the reins/chains simply to see if they can get away with it, or to get a “reaction” from the guards. In any case, it’s pure ignorance mixed with a sense of entitlement. I’d love to visit, but honestly, I’d probably get arrested for yelling at these fools and grabbing their arms like they grab these horses. Treating these guards and horses like they’re at Disneyland is just disgusting. I’m sure you can’t grab Mickey Mouse either! Ugh!
Then he touches the police officer on the shoulder, too. Wow!! Hands off please.
Google translate will tell them what the sign says I used it in Italy a few weeks ago
They should be able to use their sword on those fools. At the very least, they should be ticketed with a $500 dollar or however much in pound fine that has to be paid before you can leave the country. They can flag your PP.
Got nothing to do with understanding languages, it’s common sense.
Yes, the police officer was talking to him, so yes, he understood exactly what the officer was telling him, even when she was trying to pull away from the man he kept a pretty tight grip on the chain yes who ever was talking in the video I agree he should be arrested or at least fined...
Well done to this female guard, this man knew exactly what he was doing he should have been arrested on the spot this might be a good Idea perhaps they should have a sign up saying any tourist touching the horse will be arrested. Mind you actions speak louder than signs.
No respect for a female guard,this is the kind of thing we can expect now in what was our lovely country.
Arrest him!!! He didnt hold them, HE YANKED THEM.
@@carolekratzke9500couldn’t agree more
Arrested for what?
@@asimov1123 I would say disturbing the peace would be one you could start with but I don't know British law, possibly even assault. His hand on that chain gave him control over that horse he had no right to take.
That man just couldn't keep his hands to himself. He even touched the policeman 🤦🏻♀️
The nerve of this man-child...I would think the police would have every right to arrest this man as what he did in my mind is a type of assault against The King's Guard and her horse. I would like to see this man-child try this at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery here in the US to one of the mounted guards known as The Sentinels of The Old Guard who are part of The US Amy's 3rd Infantry Regiment it is considered one of the highest honors to serve as a Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
The way he just walked right up and yanked and pulled the chain was truly worthy of being arrested!!!!!

Yes he should have been. Also he should have been detained for a minimum of 12hrs so he and his family feel the pain lawful photographers feel in the UK. He also had the audacity to put his hand on the Police Officer. Definitely arrestable action for a UK citizen.

The amount of control these guards have got over their swords is miraculous! All it takes is little swing and the problem goes away!
They, the tourists, think the swords are props. They are real and one day these stupids will find that out the hard way. Maybe a little pointed lesson would help. I am American and that little episode would have landed that man in jail with a heavy fine.

It's going to get to the stage where there's a very bad accident. Unfortunately the guard and/or horse will take the brunt of it. Or be blamed for any injury to the idiots who will scream about their 'rights' and be awarded damages. So many tourists have no respect for these servicemen and women. They would soon learn if they were made examples of and heavily fined.

Unacceptable arrogant behaviour, he was even looking around peoples faces for amusing support, but I never saw anyone laughing along with him accept for his idiot son! He should have been FINED ON THE SPOT!!!
I would have ran his sorry A## into the road. I cannot believe he did that, that was just mean and no need at all. Something like that he should have been taking away by the police in handcuffs to a room for 3 hours just to scare him, LMAO then let him go, lol
I keep saying that at least 6foot
People have no business touching any part of the equipment, the gaurd, horse...rude, disrespectful, no sense of boundaries.
The man is setting a great example for his son
even his brat thinks its funny
That’s the nature of child development, I wonder where he’ll be by the time he’s 20?
It amazes me at the amount of down right open stupidity some people have now days.🙄
It doesn’t surprise me in the least tbh, we have no workable deterrents these days, they know that they can act with impunity
Some people are just crap now days. They have no respect for others or their property. Its all about entitlement and self gratification.
Needs to be an instant fine for these tourists
30 days in The Tower on bread and water.
That would give him time to think.
I cannot believe the police did nothing to that man. At the very least a fine and/or charge of assault on a working member of the horse guards. At the very, very least he should have been lead away to receive a yelling at behind closed doors. Why the kid gloves treatment? I so wish the horse guards could use that sword...this would have been a good time for a downward swipe.
WTF 😮... Kill a tourist because they touched the horse, are you insane? It clearly seems that way. The guards and horses should be roped off from the public, look but don't touch should be the order of the day.
I’d prefer to install stocks and let the well behaved pelt the baduns with rotten eggs and tomatoes personally then they can advertise their ignorance for the rest of the day!😡
@@martinwebb1681 Nobody said anything about killing him. But yeah, a downward swipe could cause a permanent disfiguring scar, which would still be a bit much. Just a jab would do, put a little hole in his shirt and cause a stain.
Leave it sheathed and a whack on the head.
Please send a message to these people - arrest one & see who laughs. Full support & respect for the Kings Life Royal Guard & her actions.
He grabbed those reins like he was going to lead the horse off! What an unmitigated ass!
Even though a monarchy is dumb, I'd never disrepsect the one serving their nation like that.
He should have been arrested. It would have served as a warning to who I think was his grinning son.
you can read English while many tourists cannot or simply don't see the stupid sign - also seeing the guards often shout their silly heads off is stupid really
He wouldn't think it's funny, if he was in a room for 5 mins with the guard.
These guys are tough. They're military, not street performers.
I think that you summed it up! People see them as a tourist attraction, not soldiers with a job to do. I have seen the same thing in Athens, Greece, and Arlington, Virginia. What's with people?
Even if they were performers, you can’t go around yanking on the reins of someone else’s horse or the leash of someone else’s dog, etc. Would you go to the circus and jump right in one of the rings to pet the elephants?
(I don’t mean YOU, but a person in general)
He should be arrested and sent back to his country of origin in a diplomatic bag .
My favorite Dilbert quote........
"We don't care what smart people
think, there aren't that many of them.
That may be the worst grab I've ever seen. And then hanging on! 😤
I thought exactly the same. He was being peevish and disrespectful. Laughing like an idiot proved it. Attention seeker or troublemaker.
I had to rewind it twice as I was sure he said 'come on' and he did, all the while grinning like an idiot. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Simple solution would be to rope off the horse and guard from the public, then it would be look but unable to touch, those horses shouldn't be constantly touched and pulled by the public, they should be roped off from tourists.
Unfortunately that's not possible it's a public street and ropes or barriers would be dangerous for both horse and guard .
Luckily the collar-chain is designed to hold a horse and prevent it from breaking the line, that said, that was the design of the original, these may be decorative versions. Either way the last I looked they cost £250 and that was ages ago. 😡
Its time they painted an exclusion zone in a bright colour to prevent this sort of thing or somebody is going to get hurt badly.
Paint? Ridiculous. A barricade preventing anyone from coming 30ft. away.
no, its time they make an example of a few of these people
They have a sign in plain site saying 'don't touch the reigns' as dumb tourists go out of their way to touch the reigns
There's literally a sign on the wall. They choose to ignore. Complacency is ruining everything. A flat smack across that idiots arm with the flat of that sword would have taught him real quick
Do these tourists think that this is Disneyland?
Never put your arm🖐🏾 within reach of a girl with a Sword🗡️
Outrageous.
I was pleased to see "don't touch the reins" added to the warning sign. But it seems that people still don't read or obey the signs.
Why people think they are at a petting zoo is beyond me
Stopped smiling didn't he 😂
This Lady can handle her Horse..he lost his stupid grin when the officer approached him..This could have been serious had the Guard not acted so fast.
Muy irrespetuosos e ignorantes.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Not ignorant. he very deliberately grabbed and yanked on the chain. He was laughing after the incident...right up until the police talked to him. And even then he didn't care. The police should have arrested him for assault and fined him.
Of course, torment the bloody horse just for your amusement!
That guy should have definitely been arrested. He knew what he was doing, and look at the look on the kid’s face. These are people who go around the world doing exactly what they want. Touching the officer, was not only also disrespectful, but is illegal in many places. Keep your hands to yourself. I marvel that needs to be said.
Yes, true! To put a hand on a police officer is technically ’assaulting a police officer’. Pity this idiot wasn’t charged; then he’d be laughing on the other side of his face.
Bloody terrible 😡
The police should have put him in jail . Cause his son was laughing too. With no regards to the horse or the gaurd.. The man jerked the horse head side ways. He should have got arrested.
Guy should've been arrested and charged, stupidity is not an excuse! We are to soft in this country the law only seems to attack motorists or working class.
The police are way too soft. They should have hauled him off and given him a real bollocking.
