HOUSTON (AP) — A homeless black man who was led by a rope by two white officers on horseback in a southeast Texas city said in an interview that he was overcome with shame after watching video of his arrest.

Donald Neely told the Houston Chronicle that he wasn't embarrassed as he walked between the officers' horses when he was arrested in Galveston on Aug. 3, accusing him of criminal trespass. But that changed after he saw his arrest on police body camera footage that was released publicly on Wednesday.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
