A shocking video from the weekend’s Trump administration protest captures the moment a man is repeatedly trampled on by police horses.
Hundreds of demonstrators were out in force on Friday (June 6) against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles, which culminated in something resembling a battlefield as the riot squad descended on them over three consecutive nights of pandemonium.
One iteration of the social media clip, which also aired on national television, showed a person wearing a backpack lying in the road surrounded by police both on foot and horseback.
In quick succession, he was kicked by a horse and then stamped on by another before a separate rider whacked him on the head with a pole-like tool.
The man managed to haul himself off the ground and back away, yet a police officer forcefully returned him to the floor as the chaos continued to unfold around them.
Warning: Some people may find this footage distressing
Officers at the scene had Molotov cocktails and rocks thrown in their direction, and so the response tactic was to unload rubber bullets and tear gas on the incensed protestors.
