DETROIT MAN WALKS TWO HORSES ONTO A CITY BUS

Saturday evening near 7 Mile and Strasburg, Ellessia Drew was driving past a Detroit bus stop and filmed two saddled horses being walked in the front door of a DDOT bus and back out the rear. The driver lowered the wheelchair ramp to help them board. CBS News had to run the metadata to confirm the clip was real and not AI, which is the single bleakest sentence in this story. The owner is Jordan Williams, co-founder of Urban City Cowboys, who says he was leaving a fundraiser where he'd been giving kids horseback rides. He asked the driver if he could bring his "service animal" aboard for a video to spotlight Black cowboys in Detroit. Then he offered a resume: the Jefferson, the Chalmers, the Conners, and now the 7 Mile. He told WXYZ it's not his first rodeo, and added that the buses are smaller now, or he's bigger. He reposted the video on Facebook with "Oppps I did it again." DDOT called it inconsistent with policy and said it potentially creates an unsafe and uncomfortable ride. Their actual rule is that a service animal has to sit on the floor or in the passenger's lap, so a horse fails on two counts. Williams says two or three people were on board and nobody got hurt, and he hopes the city laughs and comes to a rodeo. The mayor's office says they've identified him and opened an investigation.

Why you should give a shit: The man got four routes and a viral video out of this, and the driver who lowered the ramp got an investigation. Talk about shit end of the stick.
