Police bodycam videos are a genre on YouTube with many channels devoted to showing the real life drama experienced by law enforcement officers and the people they encounter. I waste too much time watching them.
Many police departments, including that of New York City, maintain mounted patrols. Despite advances in technology, horses remain useful for managing particular environments, including city streets.
This video shows an officer's body camera as the mounted officer chases down an alleged purse snatcher. You can view the complete footage here. The suspect is a parolee out on a murder conviction.
We don't know the name of the officer, but ABC 7 News says that the horse is named Kelly.
