A horse is much more maneuverable in a crowded urban environment than any motor vehicle would be. There is also a huge intimidation factor that allows mounted officers to easily control or disperse crowds.
Horses are a literal ton of muscle and if you hurt one they can come down on you with the wrath of god*.
*Both the horse and the police, because like K-9s they've got legal protections as well as optics in their favor. Hitting a police car with a bat while it slowly pushes through protestors is 'resisting', hitting a horse is animal cruelty.
Long answer, in addition to the intimidation you feel when you see a thousand pounds of muscle that is completely and utterly loyal to its master bearing down on you, there is also innumerable consequences to attacking a horse in the middle of your "fuck the police" riots.
All sympathy regular people might have had for your stated beliefs and cause disintegrate the instant you intentionally harm an animal. No matter how you slice it, no horse can possibly be construed as a fascist. It also clashes VERY hard with the traditional liberal/leftist propensity for veganism. Veganism comes from the belief that animals are somehow sacred, which is ostensibly why they don't eat them. Smash cut to Antifa trying to harm a horse purely in an effort to get at the cop riding it, there's cognitive dissonance there that everyone will be able to see.
In addition, animals that are used by police count as police themselves under the law. If you attack a police dog or horse, it carries the same consequences as assaulting a human officer.
After that little stunt that cunt pulled not that long ago with his horse being forced to run down a highway, I really don't expect that to stop these psychos from murdering these poor animals. Never did hear what happened to it. Was forced to assume it was put down given the sort of injury it acquired.
Its not going to stop the psychos. The only thing that's going to stop the psychos is a bullet. That's not the point though. The point is to keep hammering into the normies' heads how malicious and evil these people are. The memory of a normie is short, which is why its important to keep hammering the point into their skulls.
Also that horse got moved to a farm in the country and is recovering. They managed to save it.
Sorta off topic, but I don't understand why police are still dragging out horses on the job. Do they offer any tactical advantage anymore?

Short answer, yes.

"Also that horse got moved to a farm in the country"
That sounded less assuring than you probably intended.
