Guards deny innocent woman her malteasers

Great to know that our taxes are funding the lifestyle of fine upstanding members of the community like malteasers man, he'll go far in life I've no doubt.

Bouncers get just as much abuse as gardas if not more.

Absolute nonsense! Guards do a lot more in a week than a Bouncer would do in a year. Plus I doubt most bouncers could read half the forms they sign in the station on a daily basis.

yes there

That's the reality of what the guards have to deal with in this country,being told that there wife and kids will be raped by this individual.Yet people love to have a go at them for being pulled over for speeding or keeping the peace at water meter protests.

Glad i don't have to do there job,having to deal with vermin like that.

They definitely didn't expect this to be happening when they signed up for the job I can tell you that. A nice bit of compensation and 6 months off work for PTS is in order.

Slightly over €180 a week for a year to train, then a €23,0000 starting wage to deal with that.

An absolute national disgrace.

Neither was setting up a checkpoint outside an estate the day after a protest and pulling up any resident who had the temerity to take part to check tax and insurance.

Or arresting TDs on a public order charge and having a judge laugh the charge out of court

Unless intimidation is part of their job?

The gardai at senior level decided to involve the force in politics as they have in the past and it reflects on them

Everything you've just said is absolute crap.

The Gardaí enforce the law.

Whether or not you like it, interfering with people installing water meters is against the law. So is failure to pay tax, failure to insure your car, or failure to maintain order.

The Gardaí may well have a lot to answer for in some cases, but their handling of subhuman feckwits like this chap in the video and the scrotebag types who do the stuff above is if anything far too lenient.

No need to go insulting bouncers mate, they're just people doing a job for gods sake. I wouldn't like to be a bouncer at all in Ireland! Plenty of girls I know have spoken about the times that a keen bouncer made sure they got to a taxi, or helped them look after a drunk mate. We're lucky in Ireland that most of them are sensible, everyday men.

So you reckon rank and file Gardai should have not interfered with how the protesters were treating water meter installers?

adversarial roles like bouncers, clampers, water meter installers, gardai, social workers etc. all have their fair share of ugly stand offs with the public by their nature . I don't envy them and they have my respect, but you'd need a thick skin and be prepared for anything and everything.

230,000 per annum is a nice wage.

I'd agree with your assesment of all of those jobs expect fopr social workers.

Once a scummer disadvantaged individual gets to talk to a social worker they are all sweetness and light and shure they had a tough childhood and it was cold that day and i wasn't myself and the dog ate my homework and excuses, excuses, excuses. And a judge will put stock in this :eek: These people know how to game the system and social workers treat every word out of their mouth as gospel when they have made a life for themselves by being outside of the law and common decency.

Social workers have a lot to answer for as regards how ****ed up Irish society is in some ways. They seem to exist solely to polish some absolutely irredeemable turds and they do more harm than good if we are being honest.

Not really

I couldn't endure mouth breathing cretins like that. To think about the number of infantile gimps who claim to hate the AGS too. Wouldn't dream of being a front line worker.

A scumbag for sure but I'd say if Gardai had been wearing body cameras throughout the years we'd be aware by now that things like that being said are quite common for them, unfortunately. The Garda also asked the chap to confirm he was threatening his family and when he did so he said 'Good' as he of course knew that as all was being recorded they could put him away for that bit longer and hopefully they did.

I note the following was said regarding a city in California where these cameras have been used for awhile now:

During the first year after the cameras were introduced, the use of force by police officers reportedly declined by 60% and complaints from the public against law enforcement decreased by 88%.

And so it appears as if these miniature body cameras would not just be a good thing for Gardai (if fully implemented) but also for the public too, as they would give the public a layer of protection and assurance that if they are not dealt with appropriately there will be a record of such.

Try retail security if you think that's bad, you don't have the same powers as AGS but still have to put up with this type of shite from low-lifes every working day & your only back-up is fellow SO's connected to the street radio network.

Well not exactly, if they kick off you can let them go and call the Gardai. The Gardai cant let them go and call the Gardai.

they have the recourse of backing up and calling the Gardai! Gardai have, when all is said and done, **** all but themselves. Pepper spray only in the last few years.

They deserve criticism for how they handled the water meter fiasco.

if you mean they should have baton charged the shower of wasters instead of showing such remarkable patience, then yeah, they deserve critisism. (Burton was right by the way, lots of fancy phones around)

We're not talking about nice bouncers finding a lost handbag or walking girls to taxis... We're talking about Guards and there day to day job. Think there's a difference here. That guard was threatened and his family were threatened with some of the worst vile comments and his shift probably still wasn't over. A bouncer is in a different league. No comparison.

Shieeet I never realised this was in Galway! Just saw the cathederal there towards the end. I hope they sent that cnut straight back to Dublin where he belongs.

No doubt this video will be shown in court? If it does will the guy get a custodial sentence? Even if he does what difference would it make. There's no hope for some people, like what do you do with a guy like that? What steps can be taken to turn him into a functioning productive member of society?

I am against water charges and i went on several protest marches.
However i object to the harrassing of meter installers and of the guff and abuse given to the garda who were sent out to maintain law and order.
After witnessing one incident of abuse towards the garda who was policing a march I decided, as did many, to stay away in future. I don't believe the garda decide which protest to police or not police either.
The best form of protest was simply to refuse to pay.

Very interesting Cathy, thanks. I like the idea of body cameras in that they can also be used to record conversations with a suspect prior to arrest. If the Police inadvertently mention something which only someone connected with the crime would know e.g the murder weapon, an innocent person could later mention it in interview and be made to look guilty if there's no record of the Police having told them this info previously.

True, but then AGS let them go before your shift ends & they're waiting for you in the vicinity of your workplace for you to finish, usually with a posse of scrotes for back-up & kick off again.

What use are AGS to me then?

Been doing this shite for a quarter century now & nothing changes, I've been stabbed, stuck with dirty needles twice & threatened so many times now I just laugh.

Not having a pop at AGS, I know resources are stretched, but you're not the only ones getting shafted with the rough end of the pineapple...at least ye have pepper spray, batons & back-up.

Do you need salt and vinegar for that massive chip on your shoulder? As stated by anoter poster, if the protestors didn't act like scum in a lot of areas, there would have been no need for gardaí.
