14. In the interest of facts.

It was not a whip. It is a split rein used on the horse’s bridle. I’ve seen no picture showing the use of a rope. If you have, then accept my apologies and point me to that evidence, please.

This situation is bad enough without the media and politicians embellishing the facts. I’ve heard several politicians specifically say the word “whip” and that is simply not accurate. A rein is not a whip. There is another specific item used by cowboys that is a whip.

I make no excuses for whatever the rein was being used for. Just want our side to stick to facts.

Peace.
