It's still crazy on the scanner with fires, an officer down with medic enroute. Multiple light poles down, car tipping, large crowd forming around and fighting with officers. A broken leg reported. Asking for multiple wagons for arrests. Helluva a night for the City of Brotherly Love.
I do know about the "urban cowboys". I did not question the existence of horses in the city. I did question the presence of those horse in the middle of the "Iggles Viktry" games.
We have cowboys in West Philly, they ride horses around sometimes. Personally were I an urban cowboy I wouldn't bring my horse out in this nonsense but I don't know their lives.
Wtf?! Who brought civilian horses? Get those damn preambling ponies outta here! And bring in the big tactical horses. Hey, we need gear on those tactical horses too. Not for you dumbass, for the horses! The civilian horses are crapping all over! This is a total shit show. Damn it!
Police horses are chosen for an unflappable nature and are trained to ignore things like fireworks. So if the fireworks are making the horses rear, they are probably not police horses.
At the end of January, I was staying at the Loews Hotel... 12th & Market. Would have been cool to either watch from my room or join them.

I really hope either (1) someone misinterpreted what they saw, or (2) Pyro and the rest of the Team Fortress 2 cast are among the revelers. Otherwise, that’s a scary and unfunny situation.
There are several stables within city limits, mostly on fletcher street, that are owned and operated by primarily young black men. It's not unusual to drive through west Philly and just see them out for a ride.
I’m imagining the horses getting ready to leave the house for this. Taking off their uniforms and putting it on a chair, putting on civilian clothes, looking for their keys and wallets, yelling across the house “you guys ready?”

But what would they be doing out on the street during a Phillies victory riot? They would know better.
BYOH!!!
I know Fluffya, and I know the fans. It's a riot.
If protesters doing that are called riots; sports fans doing it are riots too.

But those are your tax dollars, baby. 🥺
