And as already pointed out,when you try to breach a line of public order officers who have big sticks,what do you expect to happen?!

Seems absurd that many of these people are complaining of Gardai brutality after they so blatantly flout the law. Good job by the Gardai imo. Once we go down the road of destroying our own towns and cities and attacking our own citizens,be they members of the force or not then the fight is already long lost and we are no better than those thieves in the Dail.

Local-womanizer wrote: » Eh,so the Gardai should stand by and not take action until it becomes a riot?! Proactive measures is what is needed to stop situations like such from boiling over to something uncontrollable. And dont forget the DoF building was stormed. It was the protesters who escalated the situation by their actions here,and the Gardai responded.

Local-womanizer wrote: » A very angry collection of people can cause a lot of damage,you deal with them not by their age demographic but by the threat present at the time. And real protests? As I said in another post,the moment we start destroying our towns a cities and attacking other citizens of the country,well then the battle is lost. Why,because we are no better than those sitting in the Dail robbing us day in day out. And I would hope,for the sake of this country that the majority of people who will protest do so without the need to fcuk a sign at a horse.

scientific1982 wrote: » Its not so much the number of people as the type of people. When its fully grown men and not scrawny teenagers, it'll be a different story. When said grown men are protesting things like not being able to keep a roof over their families head, tempers may flare.
Local-womanizer wrote: » Not destroying it in the same vein a war would but when people run out of bottles and signs to throw they usually turn to anything close at hand,like various loose items you would find around a typical city street. And then if you take the effects on people who work and live in the city who are unable to move freely as a result of these protests,then that to a certain extent is destroying the place!
scientific1982 wrote: » So its a matter of guilty till proven innocent. The gardai thought a small minority might start throwing things heavier than a plastic bottle so lets rush in and batter the **** out of them. I dont agree with the idiots throwing bottles either, its counterproductive. However, id say most were there to march peacefully.
