DAMN GUARDS

.SONIC. · 18-03-2010 10:33AM #1

so i was walking around my town yesterday and have to say that the police are complete gob****es!! im sure its not all of them but one fool in particular, he called us over and started threatening to bring us home if we were drinking ( which we werent), but while he was talking to us another group of teens walked past, bottles in their hands (filled with vodka and coke) one of them even had a can out in the open, yet he still proceeded to threaten us, even though were 100% certain he saw them:(:(

i have to say he was very intimidating, did anyone else have any problems yesterday??

Damn them all for what one did to you? Isn't that a bit drastic?

Fuhrer · 18-03-2010 10:35AM

I saw too many young people around drinking, I wish the Guards had stopped and threatened more of you.

Spore · 18-03-2010 10:35AM

Were you a group of chavs gathering on the boardwalk perchance?

What guards where these, the ones from the local Spar or the shopping centre ?

I would have reported them to the gardai, bloody guards everywhere getting too big of their boots.

Can someone PM the garda, I'd like to hear his side of this story

It's amazing how since I've grown up and can act in a normal sociable manner, the Gardai seem to never bother me in comparison to when I was a younger loud gobsh1te.

I had problems alright. There was a bunch of annoying teenagers around but I got the Gardai on their case and they gave them a bit of hassle for me and put them in their place.

The Guards are great lads altogether so they are.

well thats good, if theyre gonna be arseholes and disturb everyone else then you did the right thing!!

but waht were we doing, nothin!!!! we dont drink, yet we still get hasseled??

old_aussie · 18-03-2010 11:53AM

You should have told them(the guards) that there was free donuts down the road. They would have disappeared faster than a free beer at a piss-up

Diabhal Beag · 18-03-2010 11:55AM

My friend nearly died yesterday. He drank vodka on an empty stomach and he just passed out. I have never seen someboy that drunk. We had no idea about what to do. Only one friend was able to help him properly (lying sideways etc). I tried to get him bread and water to try to
help him and when I came back the Gardai were there. They were very helpful and have clearly dealt with that kind of incident before. They could very well have saved his life. He was brought to hospital and can't remember anybodies name (parents included). He will probably have to get his stomach pumped too.

Confiscating drink is done for a reason. To stop stupid people like my friend from harming themselves or others. They put up with a lot of **** in their line of work and yet I have rarely heard of incidents of police brutality.

If taking drink off idiots will stop serious accidents from happening I am all for it.

Right, so you and your mates were just roaming around minding your own business when this Gard decided to give you grief?

I'm betting you and your mates looked as dodgy - air max and tracksuits by any chance? Scanda's? Tracksuit bottoms tucked into socks?

I'm just making generalisations here, but I doubt the Gard stopped ye without any reason whatsoever...

Some can be dicks, same as every other walk of life.. there's way more good than bad though. At the end of the day it's better to just grin and bear it and do what you're told, it'll save yourself and the Gardai the hassle

What are you whining about? The guards didn't take you off in the back of their car, they basically asked you what you were doing & made sure you weren't up to no good. That's common procedure on St. Patrick's Day, maybe you should stay at home next year if you can't handle it.

Only with some piss heads in the local supermarket. I went home soon after and continued with my celebration of Wednesday.

Can someone change the thread title to "Damn one guard in particular", so ?

If you are that concerned about it then get in touch with these people. I presume that since you are complaining about it on the internet you were smart enough to take his number???

On what is probably one of the hardest days in a year to be a member of the Gardaí is it that bad that one out of ~15000 of them was allegedly a little over eager in asking a bunch of teens if they were drinking.

OMG!! I saw loads of Gardai yesterday, seriously, there must have been hundreds of them and every single one was doing thier job properly so don't just single this one Garda out.

I hope you can get over this awful experience and hopefully the next time the Gardai will treat you and your friends like kings, Rodney Kings!! Until then stop your moanin'.

Indeed! your so right a kettle could be a pot.(Oh xavier he's so cool he knows a kettle from a pot):rolleyes:

OP I had a discussion with a guard yesterday I seen several gardai man-handling someone I had seen ejected from a bar for no good reason, I was (at that time) still a sober person and I tried to tell the gardai this gentleman had in fact done nothing and was told if I didn't **** off I would be arrested.

Charming little nazi garda she was, anyway i did **** off because she could very well have done what she promised still though no need to be like that at all.

Problem here OP is gardai are people, and some people are just Cnuts no matter what job they do.

genericguy · 18-03-2010 02:51PM

what i saw yesterday were huge groups of gardaí strolling around stephen's green stopping well dressed and seemingly well behaved randomers and smelling their soft drink bottles, then when i reached the central bank/temple bar area there were 2 scummy looking people passed out on the ground, and also 2 incidents of scummy teenagers starting fights with passers by while gardaí stood in full view and did nothing.

while i agree with xavier that this is indeed a shyte thread and not all gardaí are cnuts, i'd say the gardaí were definitely picking their battles yesterday.

OutlawPete · 18-03-2010 03:57PM

They done a fine job as far as I could see.

Around 4pm they escorted around 250ish kids down Abbey St from loitering around the Henry St / O'Connell St junction.

What is it with that spot that has them gathering there?
