Horse moves aside, segway is on grass lying flat, man is on ground five feet away lying on back. Possibly hit head on capitol building wall. Police stay on horse while another guy sternly says something to police officer still on horse. Short clip. Low resolution.

Unstable footing of any kind actually.
I didn't see the horse actually trample the guy. Did the horse knock them down?

many around here defend the cops.
I am fully opposed to ANY union representation for ANY enforcement authority, public or private.
