Protest Against "Garda Brutality"

Anyone got any updates for this at all?

Was looking forward to hearing about it. Was certain it was going to end in disaster. Haven't heard a thing though. Did it go ahead or...?


Anyone know?

We're having a Protest Against Garda Violence at the Protest Against Garda Violence at the Students Protest next week.

My name is URL

Is there any need to protest? I mean if someone was savaged by a rampant shickiloni then taking to the streets and causing more trouble isn't going to do their case any good. Best off reporting anything that needs to be reported and let the ombudsman sort it out.

Nothing much from what I gather, think only around 200-300 people showed. Saw pictures of it on the photography thread, boggles the mind some of them. Type of people that are itching to get beat up and asking for it, some gobsheen dressed like a riot squad fella with stuff written on it (can't remember) and remember seeing them on the news with scarves round their faces.
Glad the gardai didn't give them the satisfaction of a hiding, that hospital/lawyer speed-dial will have to wait another day.

The protest today was a successful one, despite it only being announced short notice and not advertised too overtly.

About a 1000 plus were present, and it was a peaceful protest yet the message was loud and clear, that we have a right to protest and wont be battered off the street by the Guards who are acting on orders from the politicians to scare us from pursing our civil rights.

The Op's 'Garda brutality' remark is obviously a snide reference that there was no garda brutality

Have a watch of this and tell me the cops werent heavy handed

Of the 300-500 present, I wonder how many were
a) Students
b) Present at the student march

I would say at least 498 were SWSS/SF/Eirigi!

Go for it! It's gotta be better than sitting around whinging on a public forum about protesters.

No no no. The protest was 19000 in total. 10000 marched peacefully, while 9000 broke away to have a peaceful invasion of the lobby of a random govt dept.

There are some photos of this protest posted in a thread in the Photography forum.

Heavy handed response?

I just watched those vids, expecting to see some brutality. Eh, I think the gardai were unbelievably restrained.

I can see now why it wasn't on the news - because it was so restrained.
Are the students today living on cloud cuckoo land?

They were clearly attacking a government building what did they expect.
And as for Eirigi, the war is over dudes.


Fair play to the gardai, difficult job not made easier dealing with this rubbish.

This kind of crap pisses me off. With every right comes a responsability. With every entitlement comes a sacrifice. People in Ireland seem to have forgotten this. You have a right to protest, but you have a responsability to do it lawfully. The people at the department of finance did not do this and suffered the consequences. Maybe they just need to cop on. For every action there is a reaction. If you attack Gardaí they will not just stand there. Sitting down afterwards does not make you innocent. Life is full of consequences like this.

The videos you posted are pathetic. The first one is 5 mins but was originally over 10 minutes long before editing. The other two are equally edited. Grow up and join the real world.

Yeah. I walked by a Garda the other day. He was just standin there in his uniform. He didn't even look at me. He was definitely looking for fight.

Are you for real? How do you provoke a crowd by standing in front of a building?

there were a few million people resisting the gardai taunts of a game of slaps, while 12 million were keeping their gloves on so that they wouldn't be caught by a surprise game of knuckles.
them gardai are always looking for a game of knuckles, or mercy.

Nice troll attempt. People are on to you.

CrazyRabbit

Have you ever noticed that it's mostly scumbags that get 'assaulted' by the Gardai. And of course, these scumbags would never ever provoke them.

Saying that, on the very rare occasion it happens, it's still not acceptable. I'm just saying it's not exactly black n' white.

sdanseo

In order for there to be a protest against brutality, wouldn't there need to actually be some brutality?

Perceived crime is not nessecarily crime.

The Gardaí handled the student protests exceptionally, and none of the actions of the public order unit that I have seen in any video (and I've been youtubing extensively) are illegal. They are allowed to use force to break up a protest.

I'm gonna dress up as Darth Vadar for the budget protest and order them all to stand down. If they don't I'll just crush their throats with my mind.

Maybe you should un-wrap the cotton wool and enter the rea life.

Is this about those leftie groups the hijacked the student protest last week and caused public order offences and criminal damage to buildings nearby. Do people condone this type of "protest"?? :eek: They were dealt with concordantly to the law.

Dont blame the lefties its the greedy capitalist ba$tards(bankers,developers and eejits that bought over priced squats hoping to make a quick buck) that have the students out protesting in the first place*
