A pair of Halloween costumes worn by horses of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Unit are causing a stir in the community. Black Lives Matter Lake County shared a photo of Klansmen and their horses in response.
Lake County Sheriff Frank Leonbruno said a department Facebook post of the horses was taken down due to comments likening their costumes to attire of the Klu Klux Klan.
Black Lives Matter Lake County took to social media the day after Halloween with a post including the two images above and a third showing two apparent members of the KKK on horses. The sheriff also provided 19 News with this photo showing one horse after sunset. Its orange beads are aglow, and similar to a purple set worn by the second horse.According to Leonbruno, some have reacted by hurling threats in the days since Halloween.“There was never any intention to be insensitive to the negative perception some people took in the image of ghost horses, and we apologize if any person was upset.
