Four
mounted police
officers of the
Victoria Police
in
Victoria
,
Australia
, during a peaceful protest at
Hazelwood Power Station
. The officers and horses are equipped with
riot gear
to protect them from any indirect projectiles or attempted assaults, as well as
reflective tape
to aid visibility. Mounted police are often employed in
crowd control
because of their mobile mass and height advantage.
