Why do the police ride horses?

aidan [quote]adoubletap Lewisham High Street has the largest police station in Europe and is the source of the horses. Unfortunately kids can still get stabbed to death about 10 yards from the front door at the bus stop outside so if the beige eyesore is supposed to be a deterrent it ain't working.

yeah i know...shit ain't it.[/quote]

I remember when this happened, amazing! Lewisham has the potential with all it's transport links to be a really great centre, but it just isn't. It really is a bit of a dump. Is that station really the biggest in Europe?

Oh and the reason they ride horses is so they can carry bigger hitting sticks.
