I received this in an email and it's titled "Curbside Justice", so who knows? At first glance, it was a funny, faked clip. BUT, I couldn't help but continue watching it and trying to pick up on how it was made. The more I looked, the more real it started to appear. What gives me doubts is how fast the guy was thrown backwards, that just screams Photoshop to me. I know horses are powerful animals, but as fast as he went flying through the air, it just doesn't look real. Here's what DOES look real though:
1) When the horse kicks, it appears the officer is thrown forward slightly.
2) When the horse sets his foot back down on the street, it is farther rearward than where it was just before the kick.
3) The van rocks violently when the man hits it.
4) After he hits the ground, you can see the van window is shattered.
If it's fake (which most emails are), someone went to a lot of detail to make it look believable. If it's real, man that was a powerful kick that must have caught that guy in the perfect spot to send him flying like that ... PLUS, I'm sure he ended up in the hospital (deservedly so) with some broken ribs and possibly internal injuries. What'cha think?
