If you want to swap stories we can. It's easy enough to find great examples of police work in the last few months. Multiple shootings prevented. Burglars rounded up. Murderers caught. The Gardaí aren't ****, there simply isn't enough of them.

You have to be 21 to drink, you can't drink on a beach or face possible arrest but it's fine to walk around carrying a visible handgun or in some cases a massive rifle on your back.
America truly is the satirical show that never stops giving.

Judging by the misogynistic drivel that poster is spouting, he probably had a jolly good **** over that video.

because if it's not, then I have no idea why you posted that.

sounds like some one who has a preexisting problem with the police , or in this case any authority figures


just because you dont understand it doesn't mean its not relevant :pac:

She was put on probation for 4 years, I would guess that she knew she was in trouble, if so, being written up would mean she broke her probation and that scared her. It wasn't fear of the police, but fear of the repercussions.

Its also easy enough to find plenty of policing scandals over the last few months. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between they are all useless and they are all amazing.

Friends of mine J1ed in Wildwood and I heard plenty of horror stories about the power tripping local rent a cops. Total morons by all accounts.

This was a classic contempt of cop case.

There's one like that in Bray. Absolute scumbag who threatens to arrest people who he feels don't respect him. That's most people who aren't important to him. Same fella is shagging the wives/girlfriends of two of his colleagues.

I don't understand how the gaurds don't care that a scumbag like this give them a bad image.

They do. But it's not the members of the same rank who have to sort this, it's management, and ask any Guard, that's where the problem is. I used to hate being lumped into the same bracket as the thugs in uniforms, but I was, even though I was the most relaxed, chilled Garda you could meet. Doesn't matter to some people, just because I was wearing the uniform meant I was a corrupt scumbag. Funny considering it was mostly the actual scumbags who were calling me that...

well there is opinions and then there is the truth isnt there https://nypost.com/2018/05/29/mayor-cops-who-punched-beachgoer-were-doing-their-job/

Some more of the real story comes out. People are still debating the legality of the arrest, but we still don't know the whole story. Can people stop assuming x or y and wait until all the evidence comes to light? Yes, there was no need for the rent-a-cop to punch her, that's a no brainer. But none of us can comment on the legality of the arrest, as we still don't have the whole story. And we won't until it has been dealt with. Hopefully they'll release the body cam footage and we can see exactly what happened then. At that stage, feel free to judge.

Do they ever turn up? The police in this country are pure s h i t e the only people they want to prosecute are victims of the ridiculous drink driving laws.

And you'd be one of the first people to ring if the local scrotes in your area start picking on you. You know what? Just don't ever ring them. Don't break the law and you'll never have to deal with them. How's that? I think that would work out great for everyone involved...

And what's ridiculous about the drink driving laws? You're drunk and you're driving, you're getting arrested. Seems fairly straight forward and acceptable to me.
