text: In reply to message45052: About 15 yrs ago I met up with a Gathering of Eagles in DC to protect the War Memorials for a Socialist aiming to spray chemicals on the Memorials. We were outnumbered 10 to one. The DC police had 2 types of horses. They had police officers on smaller faster type horses and officers on larger Clydesdale type horses in riot gear. They didn't plow into any crowds though.
