    As bad as the Gardai are; at least we don't have the gun-toting culture that our American cousins do.

    This was filmed yesterday in Washington.

    In the late 1990s, someone hung "wanted" posters all over the city with the name of the then-police chief and a picture of Chief Wiggum. I see things haven't changed much in the department since then...

    Welcome to the District, hipsters.

    I imagine once he left, they carried on, so I'd say no.

    Now that one is just fcuking crazy...idiots wrapped inside morons!

    What i wonder is why all those students didnt rush the cops and stop him getting tasered? not like they have enough bullets to shoot them all (we all know they'd start shooting at innocents)

    Great job by the coppers, mad person disrupts meeting and is removed, meeting continues. Mad person resists and tasering ensures. Top marks and happy endings all round.

    Gross negligence by the coppers. Student asks question at meeting. Although speaker is happy to answer question, coppers don't like the question, so they forcibly drag off and tackle student to the ground, then when student says 'I'll walk out peacefully', they tazer him

    FYP

    I'm not surprised he pulled a gun with all that cocaine all over the place, and the mob throwing it him.
