    Both the rider & horse look like they can handle whatever comes their way.

Authority. Protection. Bully. Hero. Blue Collar. Civil Servant. Uniformed Pig. Soldier of the Peace. Enforcer of the Law.

A New York City Police officer represents many things to each person, and are nothing if not a powerful symbol. Two weeks ago I was at Battery Park as a large organized protest was underway and some police officers were in reserve on horseback in case things got out of hand. (Photograph taken in May, 2011)
