WATCH: An NYPD Officer Chased Down A Suspected Thief On Horseback

Hand up, I didn't know that NYPD horses could be used in police chases ever since Henry Ford started pumping out Model Ts or at least since NYPD started using these sleaker, fancier cars.

I figured that any police horse was there to protect and serve by simply being an intimidating, gigantic four-legged creatures with roughly 99% muscle that I can confirm definitely works when you are drunk at parades. However that horse was ready to roll like Stu Feiner before a YES concert at the Nassau Colisseum.

Yeah yeah yeahhhh, I know the officer on the horse technically didn't catch the alleged crook. But something tells me a dude that stole a couple pairs of sunglasses in Times Square wouldn't have run directly into another batch of cops if he wasn't worried about his ass getting stomped the fuck out by a horse running full speed in a concrete jungle. If he did, he sure as shit would've just purchased some sunglasses from Shady Rays using promo code KFC instead of robbing some goddamn street vendor in the middle of Times Square.

So thank you for your service Officer Butternuts Butterstuff Buttercup as the best law enforcement horse I have seen in action since True Lies.

This scene/movie is so fucking preposterously great
