I was talkin to a fella....

TURRICAN

..the other day we had a conversation about members of the travelling community and what they gets up to.
Now im not tryin to put anyone down here,so please bear with me mods.

anyway the conversation swung around to our Gardai siokulanai.
We ended up saying that they were in fact just as bad as the travellers or if not worse.
we both knew people in the forces who were into selling stolen cars ,letting people off with drink driving on more than one occasion.their sons selling drugs.

just wondering from everybody else what have you come across,and where the fcuk is the gardai ombudsman.
this country is going downhill so fast and we all sit back and do SFA.

Tell us about your experiences with them.:pac:

Move along now lads, nothin' to see here. Move along.

There most likely are crooked gardai out there but you get that in every job.There are people who will abuse their power in all professions.I used to hate the gardai, i like most of them now.that being said i agree with you about the "travelling community".alot of them are complete scum.I got beaten up one night in town for looking at one of them funny.Absolute pr..ks!!
the reason im saying this about them and not the gardai is because i have never met one traveller that i like!I have met alot so i dont think its an unfair judgement

easyeason3

No I have never come across a Guard selling a dodgy car or even heard of it. As for their sons selling drugs, it's possible it happens but I'm guessing that is the childs decision & not one he/ she has shared with the parent Guard.
So no I don't think Guards are like knackers.
Way too many people have less & less respect for guards even though they deal with the scum of society to try & make life safer for the rest of us. There will always be a rotting apple in a barrell of good ones but you don't get rid of the entire barrell, just the bad one.
I think it's disgusting the way people run Guards into the ground thinking that all they do is eat takeaway, avoid rows & tolerate drug dealers.
Go do a Guards job for a month & come back & tell us how it's done so.

Before anyone asks no I'm not a Guard & no I'm not married/ in a realtionship or related to one. I just have genuine respect for those in the force who go about their jobs regardless of danger.

I heard the Gardai plan to reverse the polarities in the Large Hadron Collider 2012 and kill us all.

For a brief moment there, I thought there was a Garda called Siokulanai.

I behave, so no experience with the Gardai I'm glad to say.

i dont think so ..a fella heard on the air waves how they carry on with their duties and if you heard it would wouldnt believe it.
i know too that they are all not bad but at the end ofthe day they are supposed to be keeping the country under control and there is nobody for them to answer to,*mentions ombudsman* who are they ?

So you're saying that the gardai in general are good people?...

...but you're doing it by saying that travellers in general aren't?.

Aside from the fact that 2 people being killed does not mean they are all saints, you do see the major problem with that post, right?.

And yes, it's horrible and tragic that they were killed. But please dont use such sentimentality tactics to make the OP seem like a prick....

...I could just as easily say "how dare you drag up the names of those 2 brave men in a thread about crooked gardai" and make you seem like a prick. See how that works?.

Let them catch themselves out. the longer it goes on the more scum (not the garda specifically).

On top of all that. If you were in a position of power and someone offered you a way to double your wages. Don't say you wouldn't think about it.

If a Gards kid is selling drugs it doesn't make them corrupt.

Thats cool, I didn't think you were trying to create a bad vibe. Been from close to where that Garda is from it had been on my mind for the last few days, just wanted to point out the sacrifes that a Garda may have to make for our country, I just can't imagine a traveller every adding that kind of value to our society.

Worked with a traveller once.
Hardest working guy in the company. Was there for about 15 hours every day and worked his bollix off.

Really? Does the 'fella' know that it's illegal to listen to that? And do you always believe what a 'fella' tells you?

Please get a grip. There is a Garda Ombudsman & if you did a bit of research you would see that they investigate claims made against Gardai.

If you & your 'fella' friend have incriminating information against a serving Guard then by all means make a complaint, but it seems a bit too far fetched for me. A Guard selling a stolen car & another Guards son knowingly selling drugs? If it is true then report it, but I have a feeling it's hearsay.

I am saying that a brave Garda (not the first) lost his life in service to his country. I have never ever, ever heard of a traveller make a similar sacrifice for this country. Thats why I will not equate them as the same class of person.

I am not dragging anyone's names anywhere.

This quite an emotive Issue for a lot of people me included.

I met a car load of travellers walking home on my own one night. One got out and punched me in the face. Never happened before and hasn't happened since.

I'm surprised the OP decided to post this thread given what has happened in Donegal & the funeral that took place in Mayo.
Disgusting & in bad taste in my opinion.

Typical over-compensation. He was probably nicking tea bags when you all went home in the evening.

it could be, i know since they split up times have been tough and non of them got any record deals

after reading the papers yesterday, i don't think anyone should be bitching about the gardai for a while op.. bad bad form.

johnny_knoxvile

The only way to sort this one out is to ring Joe Duffy...

You and your traveller friend should go talk to Paul Reynolds...

I was talking to a guy today and he told me scientology could solve all my problems.

This was also in the papers yesterday.
Gardai can also accidentally kill people.

Just because a couple of gardai died doesn't mean others can't be talked about.

Have you ever walked down abbey street in the day time????
Every day I walk down there and theres normally at least one deal going down. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've seen a guard down there in the last 3 years!

Yes there'd be an element of risk involved but thats what they're there for, to protect the rest of society....
