Garda assaulted

Nothing that an issue of tazers wouldnt go a long way to giving back some authority to the Gardai but given how long its taking to give them something as basic as a bodycam I wont hold my breath. What needs to happen when the scum are found guilty that a few of the biggest and hardest Gardai they can find are given 15 minutes with them behind a locked door, thats the only justice the scum understand.

Are the guards trained in unarmed combat? If they're not then they should at the very least have non lethal weapons for protection.

They should also be patrolling in minimum of 4 in areas like Ballyfermot. Maybe a maximum of one female guard per patrol as well.

We simply require a 0 tolerance approach when it comes to the law. This includes the enforcers and the judicial system.

The Gardai and Defence Forces need to align in relation to Ireland requirements in this area from 2023 and beyond.

There should an administrative unit setup of all office and admin roles and put most of the 14k Gardai out on the street.

Gardai should be travelling around in Vans rather than cars and also provided with the gear to protect themselves.

Ireland does not require The local friendly neighbourhood Garda.

Blame must lie with the government too.

It's often been said that prisons are overrun and there's no space etc. Therefore judges are far more lenient when it comes to sentencing.

Build more prisons, create more space and stop letting these scumbags run riot because of that shortage.

This is it. Due to gender balance a female Garda has to accompany a male Garda and no disrespect but I know someone who works in the Guards and apart from the odd one most female Garda are next to useless. Even most Gardai nowadays are not intimidating due to size restrictions been done away with. We need Gardai to look like the Transdev security officials who are mostly over 6ft 2 in height and build accordingly. The scrotes than might have second thoughts about assaulting them or giving them lip.

Defend her comrade, dish out timber.

Gardai had stab vests well before 2015

These scumbags will probably get less than a year.

I honestly can't see how this, what looked like a bad beating, could merit less than 5-10 years.

Otherwise it just sends a message it's ok to smack the gardai around.

More prisons are needed for the scum taking over our towns and villages laughing at the law abiding.
