Brigadier the police horse was hit by a van this evening. After being tossed through the air and sustaining serious injuries, he was shot in the head.
The driver who hit him took off and is yet to be found. He abandoned his van.
The police officer was injured but is said to be doing fine. Everyone who saw it was pretty upset.
If you want to be upset too, here’s some video.

“It iss upsetting”? Been hitting the bottle a little early? Oh hell, it’s 7:13pm. The bottle’s been being hit over here for at least 3 hours.

Nevermind.
