Well done the Gardai

steve-collins

Another shooting foiled last night and a very dangerous individual taken off the streets by all accounts.

They have been getting a lot of negative press recently but have been very proactive in following and watching known gun men. Another good result last night.

They need to be congratulated for doing their job. I don't think so.

I don't get this logic.

So, you wouldn't cheer when a football player scores? (Assuming you're in to soccer... or GAA or whatever).

Would you be thankful of the pilot that got you to your destination safely?

He/she is also just "doing their job".

I can’t stand when people clap when the plane lands. A lots of landings are ILS anyway.

This thread is linked to the Hutch Kinahan feud.

Be careful not to give anyone notions about themselves by telling them that they’re doing a good job.
Or is it just the Gardai?

do you clap bus drivers? train drivers? taxi drivers?

most planes land themselves these days anyway

I'd clap a pilot if he landed a plane in a storm for sure but that's about it.

Easy Rambo, I know the printer jammed on you earlier and you had to refill the stapler, but not everyone has a dangerous job like yourself. These dossers just have to confront coked up scrotes armed with automatic weapons. They'll never know what it's like on the front line like you do..

Just be mindful their great achievments are self reported.
They are either releasing directly or leaking that people who havent been charged with anything much less seen the inside of a court room were going to do this and going to do that. Theyve gotten good at solving murders that havent happened yet.

Didn't mention anything about clapping (I also hate this behaviour), but I do thank the driver when I get off the bus (or a taxi, can't really head up to thank the train driver... not without looking suspicious anyway).

All professions that public safety is a priority.

Why isn't it the same when the Gardaí do well?

He's not supine enough.

I actually don't believe anything senior Gardai say anymore. I just view it as a rotten entity unable to change.

Given what happens to a garda who opens his gob about wrongdoing, its hard to see how it could change.

If you can swing a bag of door knobs I think i have a suggestion you will be happy with.

I always cringe when that happens.

Let's just hope our judges pull their heads out or their arses long enough to lock these scumbags up for years and years.
Can't see it happening though.

I haven't heard a pilot getting the clap for a while now.

What dangerous do you do? How do you risk your life each day to keep dangerous criminals off the streets? Please tell us as you are very obviously a very modest individual.

I wouldn't be a big fan of the police, but I'm in the city centre most days and they do deserve some credit where it's due. It is a bit strange how they more or less named the four blokes they nicked. That might bite them in the arse if or when it goes in front of a judge and jury. Then again, with the amount of intelligence that they seem to have built up it might go the special criminal court. They seem to be on the ball.

For doing it very well. People thank the bus driver and waitress for doing their jobs, I don't see why not thank a Garda who does it well.

You'd think if you are calling someone dumb you'd take the time to spell correctly.

What do you reckon the intellectual capacity is of the people that do clap?

Should’ve arrested them afterwards.
