The chief did not say if

the officers – named as P.

Brosch and A. Smith – faced

disciplinary action.

Writing on Facebook, Mr

Neely’s sister-in-law

described him as a

“homeless and mentally ill”

father of eight.

Christin Neely said he

had been “treated like an

animal” and “paraded

through the streets”.

Leon Phillips, president of

the Galveston Coalition for

Justice, led calls for the two

officers to be sacked.

“If it was a white man, he

wouldn’t have been treated

that way,” he said.

Fury as police lead man by rope

POLICE in Texas have

sparked outrage after a

picture emerged of two

white officers on horseback

leading a handcuffed black

man by a rope.

The image was taken in

Galveston on Saturday and

has been widely shared

online. It has led to tension

across the US, with people

saying the image is racist

and a throwback to slavery.

Last night, calls were

being made for the two

police officers responsible

to be fired.

The handcuffed man has

been identified as Donald

Neely, who officials said had

been detained on a charge

of criminal trespassing.

Police Chief Vernon Hale

has been forced to apologise

to the 43-year-old for the

“embarrassment”.

He said: “Although this is

a trained technique and best

practice in some scenarios, I

believe our officers showed

poor judgment in this

instance and could have

waited for a transport unit

at the location of the arrest.

“My officers did not have

any malicious intent, but we

have immediately changed

Donald Neely is

tied up and led

down the street

by mounted

police

of terrorist cells scattered across the

West which could be swiftly activated.

But US firepower alone, including

cruise missiles from warships and sub-

marines, would also be devastating.

Meanwhile Mr Rouhani branded US

sanctions as “economic terrorism”. He

said if President Donald Trump wants

negotiations he must lift economic

sanctions imposed last year.

The crisis was triggered when Mr

Trump pulled the US out of a 2015

deal to stop Iran developing nuclear

weapons. He said the treaty – still

backed by Britain, Russia, China and

the EU – failed to address Iran’s ballis-

tic missile programme.

Iran has admitted breaching limits

for enriching uranium under the treaty

• and is threatening to shut the Strait
  of Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf
  through which a fifth of the world’s oil
  passes.
  Last month Iran seized a UK-flagged
  tanker, Stena Impero, claiming it was
  in retaliation for Royal Marines seizing
  an Iranian tanker off Gibraltar on sus-
  picion of breaching EU sanctions on
  supplying oil to Syria.
  Yesterday Mr Rouhani said: “A strait
  for a strait. It can’t be that the Strait of
  Hormuz is free for you and the Strait
  of Gibraltar is not free for us.”
  On Monday the UK said it has
  joined a US-led naval force to escort
  shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
  Last night China – which relies
  heavily on the Gulf for oil – said it
  could follow suit. Its embassy added:
  “We are studying the US proposal.”
  Meanwhile, the Swedish owners of
  the Stena Impero slammed Iran’s
  refusal to release the ship and 23 crew.

Iran threatens the

‘mother of all wars’

over Gulf stand-off

IRAN’S hard-line leaders yesterday

threatened the world with “the mother

of all wars” amid rising Gulf tensions.

As Britain and America stepped up

naval operations to protect tankers

from the fanatical Islamic

Revolutionary Guard Corps, Tehran

intensified its rhetoric.

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani

told the nation on TV: “Peace with Iran

is the mother of all peace, war with

Iran is the mother of all wars.”

His comments had echoes of Iraqi

tyrant Saddam Hussein’s boast before

the 1991 Gulf War that the US-led

Coalition lining up against him faced

“the mother of all battles”.

In the end the war was one-sided – a

42-day battering by Coalition bomb-

ers and missiles followed by a 100-

hour ground war to liberate Kuwait.

However, Iran is nearly four times

the size of Iraq and has double the

population, more sophisticated air

defences and a nuclear programme.

It is also thought to have a network
