    Doing their job does not involve assaulting minors. The video also shows a garda about 4 mins in kicking. This is not part of his job. If it was it wouldnt be showing his collegue grabbing him by the arm stopping him

    OK, I'll bite, what is a minor doing there in the first place? Is it OK to shout abuse at the Gardaí?

    Maybe he likes to show how a poor citizen, who has no job and enough time to spend camping outside the central bank can afford a laptop that most people with jobs cannot.

    I havent a clue what the minor is doing there. Could be protesting,could be walking past and got caught up in the carry on, she could simply have been walking past but i do know one thing. Thats not the issue here.
    No its not alright to shout abuse at a garda but i've yet to understand how verbal abuse allows a garda the power to physically assault anyone.
    I'd like to see you stand up in court and tell a judge the reason you assaulted the girl was because she shouted at you

    He's skyping the events to someone I'd imagine, or using it to record proceedings. I saw that kind of craic going on at quite a few of their protests.

    Edit: You got in ahead of me Garkane!

    Of coarse it's not OK to assault someone. But the Gardaí are alowed to use proportional force. Neither you or I was there, so we can't really comment on what was happening.

    I don't see a kick on the video. I see another Garda rush in and tap his buddy on the shoulder. Beyond that I would only be guessing, as would you. :)

    Its not just another Guard..Its a sergeant.. And look at his body language when he grabs the bike helmet guard.

    If you look closely it certainly seems he doing something with foot be it releasing it from some grip i.e. if they where holding onto it or he simply striking out at some one on the ground.

    But the complaint from the alleged minor seem to be leveled at the same Guard..

    To be honest I havent a clue. He did seem stressed alright. I suppose he could of went too far. But I still can't see crap in that video.

    You could be right Swifty.. Im only looking at it from one perspective i.e. the cameras and not the Guards protecting the cordon.

    So he can afford to have a Macbook, Mobile Data and to stream video, have time to protest and confront Gardaí!

    fúck this job lads, I'm joining the protesters!

    Wow. That was shocking. It sometimes amazes me what people think is worthy of videotaping.

    It certainly is a novel way of suggesting the thread be closed.
