    There are two different stories being posted on whatsapp and facebook. One story by travellers and one by friends of the man who owns the van.
    In one story the detective is friends with the man who owns the van

    And even using bits from both stories I can't make judgment on what happened yet. Still lots of info missing.

    What's the other story? You only present one story here?

    Proof that you have lost the plot?

    Well your post above is one example. You are refusing to provide proof of your comments, whilst simultaneously demanding other posters provide proof of their first.

    Lost.the.plot you have...

    ..and don't call me "son", it's Senor.

    Now, back up YOUR comments or shut up asking people to back up theirs.

    BBFAN has never defended travellers. I challenge you to produce a post where I have done so?

    I'm not going to search for your posts but if it wasn't you I apologise.
    However I still want proof of your own claims.

    You are presenting 2 items as pure fact
    1) that the guard and van driver are friends
    2) that the guard was off duty

    Now please back up those points that you are posting as facts, some evidence please

    So you have no proof that I've defended travellers?

    Good, I accept your apology.

    I present no proof for my claims here because no-one else in this thread has presented ANY proof for their claims therefore the burden of proof is lowered to the ground. As is the norm on AH as far as I can see.

    So all of your points can then be disregarded because they have no factual basis

    So please stop posting them as fact when they are nothing only your thoughts and opinions

    By the way, I have no idea if they were friends or if he was off duty, but I’m not making stupid assumptions either way

    Does anyone care?? Really? A scumbag being a scumbag threatening an armed Guard with his dog.
    He grabs the Guard-intent.
    The Guard is in imminent danger-Guard eliminates the danger.

    Whats the problem here? Apart from the Guard shouldnt have got himself within reach of the Scumbag but maybe he was trying to protect the man in the van.

    By your logic 99.9% of posts in this thread can be disregarded as none of them have any factual basis?

    I don't think you can tell me to stop posting? I think that's called back seat moderation?

    The Garda have to put up with some sh!te.

    Not only from the criminals but now he will be hauled over the coals and scrutinised for every little action he took during the incident.
    We should be proud and confident to allow our police force take necessary action without the chill effect they must feel in any incident where the knackers' rights are stacked against the guards.

    You honestly think we should be proud of an obviously unstable individual killing a dog?

    An pity for sure but its handler threatened to use it as a weapon.
    Thats up to the authorities who allow any ars3hole to have a dog.

    Ive no doubt it was a fine animal in the wrong hands.

    Well, when I see someome acting like a child, I mirror them, hence the "LOL".

    Your argument of "im not showing you proof, if you dont show me proof" is beyond childish and in no way adds to discussion.

    You are in your 40's or early 50's and this is how you conduct yourself?

    My time is too valuable to interact with you.

    Goodbye.

    I’m not telling you to stop posting at all

    I’m asking you to stop posting bull**** as if it’s absolute fact when it clearly isn’t

    There’s a big difference

    He's not unstable as evidenced by the fact he is armed. I suggest you look up the requirements and qualifications needed to be armed. You really are making a clown of yourself now

    Based on my experiences of how travellers treat animals the Garda probably did the dog a favour..
