    Ah, ya gotta love the Spanish Arch, home to much non-sensical stuff.

    This picture is brilliant, it just doesn't make a lick of goddamn sense!

    Look at the can beside Morgan Freemans foot, my only explanation for this picture is that he's an undercover detective trying to blend in with the local drunkards, and failing miserably.

    Doing research for his latest movie I reckon.

    That's dedication...explains his bemused look too.

    Am I the only one that thinks the Garda was way out of line on this one?

    The pepper spray clearly subdued him and there was absolutley no need for a strike to the mans leg except for revenge. The guys back was to him and his eyes were closed. No more threat!

    I'm not saying the guy was in the right, I mean taking off your clothes on a hot day, what was he thinking? And when the garda put his hands on him he should not have resisted or went for the garda.


    But the scuffle was over, the man was decapacitated. In my opinion this an abuse of power and I feel it's police brutality.

    I actually feel sickened by this.

    If a muppet like yer man in the pics tried to choke me in the course of my duties(if I was a Garda) I think it'd be pretty justified to give him a belt of it too, just to make sure he stays in line and doesn't think of going back at him.

    tbh I hope yer man got the shíte kicked out of him in the cells too!

    Never having been pepper sprayed myself, but always believed it is not the Be all and end all of subduing a person. Instead it is merely used as the first stage of subduing, where it would surprise/disorient a criminal, allowing the next stage to continue with a higher chance of success, with it being safer for the gardai.
    So Pepper spray. A little Baton. Clap on cuffs. Job done.

    I have been pepper sprayed, and you'd want to be bloody determined to keep fighting afterwards. I'd say the baton was just to get him on the ground.

    Its a series of pics, not a video. You can't tell what happened and why or even if he's actually hitting the guy with the baton.

    My fellow boardsies. I am happy to announce that I have just walked by Shawshank Redemption man. I am currently enroute to the Spanish Arch to see if he is there and will take photos and post them here if I can track him down.

    I felt so humble to be in the presence of such a celebrity, nay, a hero, nay, a God!

    You can see that there is a ripple in the skin, it seems highly likely the guard is striking rather than just pressing really hard against him as the skin wouldn't ripple that way if he was just pressing against the skin. I'd say the guy still wasn't listening to him so got a light slap to get him to pay attention.

    Agreed. It's clear the way the guy grabbed the Garda, I think he was right to mace him and give him a bit of a strike with the baton. The guy was being an aggressive fcuker. (The guy in his boxers, not the Garda!)

    I realise thats very possible but without video evidence the person I was replying to (or anyone here really) can't claim to have the full story. Its very good camera timing if the person managed to snap just at the second of impact and flab waving though.

    The whole series of images are highly amusing, the first one is officially the funniest photograph I've ever seen, had a great laugh at it altogether. :D

    It's more than likely that the photographer took a burst of shots in continuous shooting mode and uploaded the best ones with the most going on in them.
