Garda calls man a "w4nker" whilst searching his home...

Johnny Utah · 06-04-2011 09:34AM #1

Following on from the Shell-to-sea controversy, here's another video showing Gardai conducting the search of a house. During this search, one of the Guards calls the resident a "w4nker" and insinuates that he is dole sponger.

What do ye think of this?

Fairplay

DundalkDuffman · 06-04-2011 09:37AM

He must have known him

wild_cat · 06-04-2011 09:38AM

Was that little crap plant one of em is holding all that they were after?

What a waste of time and money.

If he is a bloke with a functioning penis there is a high probability that he is a wanker.

vibe666 · 06-04-2011 09:38AM

seems like a pretty accurate assessment.

Swampy · 06-04-2011 09:40AM

Yep. That fella sounds like a w4nker alright.

rednik · 06-04-2011 09:40AM

He was probably just pulling his (middle) leg.

Don't really think anything of it. If you are trying to compare one guy calling another guy a wanker to a few guys joking that they will rape a girl, it's not serious at all.

A lot of people have been called a wanker, jokingly and seriously, and I can't imagine anyone went home shedding a tear about it.

kfallon · 06-04-2011 09:42AM

I think the guy was Eastern European and his surname was 'Jerkov' so to be fair it was an easy mistake to make :pac:

The Gardai weren't searching his house for drafts. He probably is a w@nker.

Dotsie~tmp · 06-04-2011 09:47AM

OP is a wanker.

lol @ tomato plant

Duggy747 · 06-04-2011 09:49AM

The guy in the video did actually sound like a wanker.

Heh, the Garda holding the plant didn't look impressed: "Is this it, after tearing this shìthole apart and ruining my morning?............"

I wouldn't see much of an issue there if it worked both ways,try going down your local station and calling one of them a w@nker and see what happens.
This seems to be the general behaviour,they can say what they want but you can't open your mouth or you're "being smart"

I have to deal with a lot of people who i think are wan*ers in my job but I would never call them one because I would be sacked. Garda should have had more cop

I agree. Total wanker. It's my rights guard. I know the law guard. Constitutional rights. I'm up on the law, I am. => Arsehole

Keep the Proletariat thick and therefore controllable.

Agonist · 06-04-2011 10:12AM

By the sound of children in the background he should do more **** and less of the other.

Bus77II · 06-04-2011 10:15AM

The Guard thinks the unemployed control his tax.

The man thinks his son is growing tomatoes.

Zzzzz...

Canis Lupus · 06-04-2011 10:18AM

See I think this is a perfect difference between the two recent examples.

Gardai in the car, in private, makes rape joke = fine as far as I'm concerned.

In this case he's facing a member of the public and his opinion needs to be kept to himself. I agree, the fella sounds like an ass and if the garda knows him he may very well be a wanker but that's irrelevant and it shouldn't have been said (although I imagine you'd want the patience of a saint at times to do that job).

Ash.J.Williams · 06-04-2011 10:18AM

no big deal....

One night i was bringing in my motoring details to the cops and the language coming from behind the hatch was worse than anywhere else i had ever been, next thing a car pulled up and a crim ran in and politely asked me could he jump the queue as he only had to sign on, i said ok and he thanked me and was only 2 seconds signing on!
So the politest person in the station that night was a criminal!

but then again he probably did rape or kill someone rather than joke about it..

bootsmcginty · 06-04-2011 10:20AM

this whole country is making me sick

He probably was a wanker.

I've seen a few people mention this lately. What is a 'freeman' exactly?

I remember about 8 years ago being out walking with my children. As we were walking up the road we had watched a garda car pull up, two gardí get out and grab a lad of about 17/18 chap who was sauntering down the road. The two gardaí manhandled the lad into their garda car. I believe the phrase one garda used was "get into the ****ing car, yah little bollix of a bastard". Whatever they had reason to believe about the chap, he hadn't offered any resistance to getting into the car and didn't open his mouth or provoke them in any way.

So what was all that about! They weren't in the least bit bothered that I witnessed what happened or that my children saw and heard the incident. My oldest lad was about 6 at the time and was more able to process what he had seen than the other two. The day before I'd been telling him if he ever got lost that he should look to a garda for help or go into a shop and tell them he was lost. Straight after that incident he was quick enough to tell me that he'd prefer to go into a shop rather than approach a garda if he got lost.

If you are doing a job, you should behave appropriately. In some jobs you have to be more circumspect than in others and policing is one of those. It was drummed into us in school that while we were wearing the uniform we were representing the school. Woe betide you if word got back to the nuns of any shenannagins of one of their girls putting a foot out of line while in uniform even if it was out of school hours. Even moreso the same goes for the gardaí. While in uniform they have an image and position to uphold.
