Why Garda incompetence is acceptable?

that ardai have more pressing things. they are under sourced and have many demands. i have found that ardai are okay when ther is trouble but not when there is little trouble. they can be very curteois and nice

I agree witn that last post. the garda have bigger fish to cook than to dela with minor issue such as the one mentioned. there is limited resources.

Power is power, no matter who, and cannot be questioning.
regardless of who is holding it, and inherently must be questioned. As of writing this, it seems safe to say that the biggest issues we face in our society today are things like racism, sexism, religious extremism, xenophobia, homophobia, and general intolerance. All of these problems have common roots, and that is a lack of societal change, and a fear of the new society. To more accurately see why societal change is important, however, and why authority must be questioned in order to solve modern society's biggest problems, we need to look at society over a longer period of time than just the last few decades that we often concern ourselves with.
Society and all of its facets, including the concepts of law, hierarchy, and authority, have been developed over thousands of years by humans seeking a more safe and just environment. It is safe to say that human social structure has evolved for the same reason that thousands of years earlier, our proto-human ancestors began walking on two feet. Human society allows every individual to be more productive, by allowing us to specialize and trade, and thus brought many people together to ensure the society's survival. These systems were built, however, off of fair and just interactions, which many people found quite early on that they could exploit for their own personal gain. Enter laws and power. Someone needed to make sure that these people were not permitted to rampage unchecked throughout the city. That someone would be an authority figure, someone who would be in charge of bringing criminals to justice. The problem with this system is that these authority figures now held all power, and could exploit the ideals of society themselves. Here is where questioning of authority comes in in it's most obvious form. Enough people questioned the leadership of the kings and queens and dictators they were paying taxes to that one of the most important advances in society was able to be created: democracy. No species would evolve new features or behaviors if there was no change in their environment, and similarly society cannot become more equal and just unless every aspect of it is questioned. Remember that questioning authority does not mean breaking it down. It means recognizing its problems and rectifying them in any way possible. Societal progress can only be achieved by those who are willing to seek out what is wrong with that which all others feel in their gut is right, and by those willing to both change and be changed, neither swaying to power nor denying reason.
