The larger point, which is getting missed a bit I think, is that someone in leadership at the border patrol—someone senior enough to send these guys out on horseback to ride people down with all the logistics that entails—deliberately created these scenes. We should find out who.

That’s why they use those super long reins because they otherwise look like a real pita.

Maybe the fraternal order of whatthefuckever could point out where in the handbook it says it's OK to whip nonviolent refugees? I mean, it's somewhere right?

You can whip people with things that aren't whips. Particularly long slender leather things.

It's been a long time since I rode, but, one wouldn't want to use their reins to try to whack something. Reins are JUST long enough for being reins, and barely whipping the horse for a run, TIGHT to the rider. And if someone GRABBED the reins? No, the rider cannot risk THAT.

Technically, it's a "quirt." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirt "The quirt, due to its slow action, is not particularly effective as a riding aid for horses, though at times it has been used as a tool of punishment. Rather, it is an effective tool to slap or goad cattle from horseback.
