Garda shoots dog in Longford

Stephen Gawking

What's this all about? I've seen the video that the woman took of the incident but it's not very clear. Not sure if I can post the video here so I'll erron the side of caution & not post it. Was the garda justified? He looks like he was alone or was it a negligent discharge? Hard to say either way.

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

No difference at all. 99.9% of posts in AH are not fact. Please show me all the posts in this thread which are absolute fact.

I'm just following the trend and will continue to do so. Apparently it's not against the charter to make up **** so I can carry on doing that.

As I've said you are not a moderator. If you have a problem with my posts please report.

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

Do you claim a dog wasn't shot? Proof please?

I only ask because I'm asked for proof of everything I say.

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

The obviously unstable individual has trained the dog to attack people, in which case in this situation is an officer.

This goes to show that the only way you can deal with travellers is armed.

Well then your issue is with the Traveller who caused the dags death by setting it on an armed guard.

Hilarious. Did you have to think about that for a long time from your smelly bed?

No proof. I'm asked for proof in AH then I want proof for every other post.

I would like to see some evidence of the shot dog. You don't see it or hear it in the video. I find it strange that a dog grabbed the Garda by the tie.

No, my issue is with the person who killed the animal. It's fairly simple really. Only one person killed the animal.

Virgin Media news just played it. It's the same video. There is no clearer video

Are you ****ing serious? What was archer22 on about then? Not sure if it's drink or drugs but I want whatever he's on!

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

Seriously? You trust EVERY single Guard in this country. You really need help.

Ok saw it again on Virgin 2, I got it incorrect earlier that he held the gun two handed..the other hand was holding his tie.
But nowhere do I see the Dog attacking him and certainly not when he fired.

Firing a pistol single handed like that is a bit reckless in itself...in fact the whole thing looked unwarranted.

Thank god that all of our guards are not armed & for mobile camera phones. That idiot Charlie Flanagan very recently wanted to ban the videoing of garda when on duty. Talk about a blue shirt fascist state. Whether those people were acting the maggot no shots should have been fired. The guard should have retreated & sought assistance.

The guard acted in self defense no case to answer. Go to your local Garda station and make a complaint if you wish. Tell us how you get on.

What do you think is happening in the first 10 seconds of the video. Btw, it’s the same video. What’s the story with yer mans right hand side of his body?

What happens the guy in the van if the cop retreats and lets the assault continue?

You claim the Guard acted in self defence? What are you basing that on so?

So if the scum bag had beaten the **** out of the guy in the van while the garda retreated what would you have said??

It’s amazing that people like you leave the aggressors off the hook completely, and not just in this case either

He gets the crap battered out of him like the rest of us do when we call 999?

Isn’t it possible that the dog was grabbing the garda’s Tie?

Presumably your position is that his tie had become possessed and was, of its own initiative, pulling the Garda's neck and choking him.

OK, so now we have a guard willfully ignore an incident of assault?
