Cops To Be Arrested: TWO LOCAL cops involved in a brawl with an on-duty officer last May outside the Old City set of the "Real World Philadelphia" will soon be arrested, sources say.This brawl is not to be confused with the one in which drunken housemate Landon –who was once arrested for assaulting a police horse- threatened several friends of his roommate with multiple knives- all while wearing a yellow t-shirt that read “Huggable.” An all-time great moment in reality TV history.

Internal Affairs has since been investigating.
ironically, the highlights (lowlights?) of the 2001 Philly Mardi Gras riots included drunken chuckleheads from Jersey punching a police horse. Landon had not yet located Philly on a map in 2001.
Epilogue: In an effort to make sure that never happened again, John Street disbanded the mounted police.
