TAMPA, FL – A Tampa Police officer was caught on tape walking his horse through a crowded Ybor City bar, and the police chief said she approves of it.
The 37 second video was posted on YouTube and shows a mounted police officer walking his horse through Habibi’s Hookah Bar on 7th Avenue. A woman is heard screaming in surprise as the horse rounds a corner into her path.
Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor said, “It’s good public relations.” However, one business owner complained about the practice.

WTF? Good public relations? Haters gonna hate I suppose.
I know police horses are really well trained an all, but this just seems like an unnecessary risk taken simply to showboat the officer’s authority.

Some people are pretty hardcore. I could never pull that off, even if I could somehow get over the whole it’s with you FOREVER thing.
