Cops crashing into criminals...and its great to watch

This is great news, some actual action being taken for once! Hopefully Ireland will copy the UK. Like someone else said, I hope the individuals are correctly identified before getting rammed into and I hope the police aren't on the hook for any claims by the criminals afterwards.

One thing I would say is, if one of the police was to kill someone through this style of policing, even if the police were found to be 100% correct in their actions, that would still be very difficult to live with.

Do we have a moped-based robbery problem here?

I have zero sympathy for these little f**kers.

My idea* years ago was to have a lad in a helicopter armed with a rocket launcher.

There should be a massive public information campaign advising of the new rule and when it's coming into force.

Following that date, any car travelling at speed, refusing to slow down and presenting a substantial risk to the average Joe, if and when it's safe to do so, should be taken out.

*idea may be a little extreme

Of course we know that will never happen in Ireland.
If the Gards can't be arsed for this, they won't care full stop.

Work colleague of mine in Limerick once told me that there were some guys going through his shed in the middle of the night. Several calls to the Gardai "oh, so terribly sorry old chap, see we haven't got anyone in your area, terribly sorry, just lock the door and hope for the best".
Next call "right, I caught one of the fcukers and hit him a good belt, he's out cold on the floor and I'm not sure he's still breathing".
5 minutes later several cars arrived with lights and sirens. They must have materialised out of thin fcuking air he said.

I think everyone's had that friend at some stage or another.

Could they not roll and reverse over them a few times while they're at it.
They'll only be out at it again otherwise.

Ultimanemo · 24-11-2018 08:56AM

But can't they train their snipers to shoot a moving target while on the move?

I think that should cheaper than damaging police cars.

Try watching the video with this music playing in another tab. It makes it even more enjoyable.

We don't have enough mopeds for it.

Of course we do....

They are one of the easiest bikes out there to rob.

I see them around finglas and inner city all the time, no helmets and no plates flying about.

We actually could do with more people on them as traffic is only getting worse.

Imagine if more people cycled and had mopeds/motorbikes how great it would be getting around and less traffic.

It would be wonderful if our gardai were given the freedom to do the same to our scumbags driving scramblers with impunity. I have been working in Clondalkin(Neilstown, Quarryvale) and Ballymun since 2012 and there is a massive problem with this and the Gardai can't touch them. Ive seen them driving recklessly along foptpaths, in and around primary schools with children walking in and out, not to mention some of these teenagers on scramblers are paid to do drop offs for local dealers too because they know the Gardai can't chase them down.

Come to think about it, has anyone been held to account over the scrambler incident in Darndale which destroyed the life of that poor man?

I'm guessing the answer is no.

I think people are moreso praising the police taking real action against any crime whatsoever.

Sure moped attacks are down to 'only 13,000' or so now in their wild west capital,
but what about the 15,000 zombie-ish knife crimes in lawless london?

Perhaps they should invest in Dodge Rams, with metal detection scanners on-board.

If only they could play the prícks with the knives against the moped criminals.
Kind of like Yojimbo!

A lot of do-gooders out in force in the British media today saying things like 'it's just wrong' and others saying 'well, what if it was your child - you'd feel differently'. 'Shouldn't use violence against violence', is another one. All those ppl coincidentally were not native British - i.e. dark skinned. Surprise surprise. I for one am not fooled by their disingenuous arguments which they assert to take attention away from their own minority demographic.

Edit: Oh I forget to say , the one most infuriating point one person made in protest to this, he said 'Look, it's only a smartphone, these things can be replaced, no need to go OTT on this". Later on a guy went into graphic detail about when he was robbed of his phone where the perpetrators held a knife to his neck.

A group were on with the morning team and it included the black ex police commissioner.

They were giving out about the stop and search and their rights but we're then saying the police are doing nothing to stop their kids getting stabbed¿¿???¿??

Mind boggling.....

They need to start getting tough and start thinking about putting out the gangs.

It's gone nuts in the UK and now these issues are starting to raise their heads here too.

I'm still very surprised more didn't try and flood in here and the carry on of the shouting and intimidation is unreal.

The guys on the bikes will stab, shoot etc to get what they want.

Angle grinders are another tool they use.

Be nice if they reversed over them as well. Just to be sure.

buried · 25-11-2018 12:17AM

The only problem with this is that there isn't enough dash cam footage

The hilarious part moreso then scum getting road rash is that in 2018 the police have cameras with the same quality as USA cops had in their cars in the 80s.....

And some would argue that because you do that's exactly why it shouldn't be done. As if feeing good about seeing criminals being apprehended makes you worse than the criminals themselves.

Very happy to see the London Zombie Knife attacker who in an incident last year was filmed going full on savage, where the footage of the attack went viral, has had his lenient non-custodial sentence overturned and has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-4705434

Isn't it amazing that if this footage hadn't gone viral this reversal of sentence wouldn't have happened at all in all likelyhood.

As I said before it's just stunning the level of mitigation that is given to the black community in south London due to excuses that they are deprived due to racism. The knife murder crime crisis in London has transpired precisely because of this attitude imo.

i was listening to LBC last night, and one "lady" was recommending Britian copy the Saudi system of Justice, and chop off their hands! She said kids have no fear of prison, and society needs to instill fear in them. :eek:
