    A bit excessive all right. Three guards to tackle / throw one girl. I mean both parties are at fault here. She shouldn't have been standing near the car and the guards didn't need to use that much force. No one "wins".

    Quite convenient that the hi-vis gets out of the situation (obviously to move down the crowd), but I think there was an ulterior motive :pac:

    Cant understand why the Guards aren't with the protesters at all these events. Their wages were cut too, while the govt. lord it around the place.

    the 2 gards had her under control. the "guy?" in hi viz runs from the other side of the car and slam dunks her into the bollard. he didn't have to get involved. he may have even slowed up the car from getting away. the girl herself looked quite young, and i dont know, she might have been a little idealistic, but jesus people have been killed by actions like that. there was no need for that at all. im shocked at that level of violence. heartbroken even. that could be anyones daughter, maybe overlly excited by the protest but she needs to be pulled aside and protected. not a massive assault.

    oh, well then. it was all a little misunderstanding. obviously they were only escorting her skull to the side of the pavement.

    and just to let you know, i never had a problem with gards, many friends are gards, im bewildered that someone could do this. also when someone does this to a gard i utterly condemn it too. this violence belongs no-where.

    But, I suppose the next question would be "does that excuse the level of force used to shove her to the path?"

    They could have easily body blocked her instead of actually flinging her to one side. I'm just going on what I see here...and as I stated above, she is partly at fault as she wouldn't move.

    This is simply shocking behaviour. Things are really getting out of hand. Someone is really going to get hurt. Total over reaction by AGS and very unprofessional.

    She could have been killed.

    I wonder will the ombudsman investigate this one?

    idealistic youth. 2 "gardai" had her under control. did she hit the bollard? . the thudding sound meant she hit something. concrete or bollard. take your pick. not pleasant either way.

    Yes, if she makes a complaint. No, if she doesn't.

    Obviously.

    So did anyone happen to see fiona ( as named in the various fb posts ) actually hit the bollard or read the title and decided she was thrown into the bollard without actually seeing it ,

    I think we're sticking to a "magic bollard" theory at the moment. Or maybe it was the bollard in the grassy knoll. Completely overlooking the fact that the guard shoved her...to get her off the road.

    Like 110% of the short garda brutality videos posted that showed absolute the opposite
