OLD TIME "CROWD CONTROL"


This is a copy of an officer with his  Trusty Four Legged Transport.  A horse you think. Definitely "No."

Our officer is from the early 1900's.  He worked in Albuquerque, NM.  It is quite hot there, and there is a lot of desert. It is just not the Sahara Dessert where one would expect to find a Camel

Jefferson Davis (Confederate President)  as Secretary of War for the U.S. introduced Camels to the South West.  Around the 1900's the City Police tried these animals for police work. 

I am not sure how the experiment went, but The Officer looks happy.

I thought I would just share this picture with collectors. Hope you enjoy seeing it. 

From personal experience, I can tell you to stay off  of these four legged beasts. Stick to a car;   Ride a motorcycleOr just Walk; But Never get on one of these (expletive deleted) creatures !!!
