Help sign this Petition. Save Mounted Patrol!

[Officer Vader]

The Mayor of Philadelphia is undergoing one of the most con-Police decision he has made so far. With Fairmount Park being the largest public park in the country and 2nd largest public park in the world he has decided to disband Mounted Patrol which could be very unfortunate. Mounted Police is great for crowd control and amongst all other things. I ask if all who can relate please sign this petition and help PPD keep our Mounted Police active.

Thanks for your consideration and if this thread isn't where it belongs than I understand if it's moved. Again thank you.

Alas, mounted patrol in many places has been targeted as a waste of money and they're being gutted. Since it is much more economical to put an officer in a car than on a horse the politicians don't have a problem getting rid of them. I hate that, because I was in Philly during the last republican convention and the horses did an outstanding job. The bicycle guys were pretty cool to watch, too. I didn't know you could hit someone with a bike. And I don't mean run over them. I mean pick it up and knock the **** out of them.
