Garda nearly killed me and my brother today.

danger mouse · 22-08-2011 12:41AM #1

Anyway was driving back from Naas tesco towards Ballymore Eustace when a garda car speeding along the wrong side of the road rammed a car into a ditch 2 meters away from us. To avoid them we had to drive into the ditch on the other side of the road. Anyway the 2 garda in the car got out of their car and began shooting into the car they just ran off the road.. it was mad i couldn't believe my eyes. The car they were chasing just drove off towards naas. It was madness the garda car didn't even have their emergancy lights on we nearly ploughed into them.
because of this.

Im very annoyed right now as if we had have seen the garda car even 1 second later we surely would have been dead right now. Don't these guards have to flash there lights when they're driving like lunatics? Madness

So a garda car rams another car into a ditch on a back country road. Two gardaí jump out and start firing into the second car, then the second car just gets back on the road and drives on?

OP, I'm closing this thread until you can provide some proof that what you have posted is true.

PM me with a link to any news story that backs it up.

KeithM89_old · 22-08-2011 02:06PM

Well apparently it is true.
http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/gardai-fire-on-suspects-car-517439.html

Armed officers from the Organised Crime Unit had been tailing the two cars suspected of carrying members of a Dublin crime gang.

They pulled over one of the cars but also opened fire a number of times after the driver of the other vehicle ignored orders to stop.

The arrested man was detained under section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act and is being questioned at Naas Garda Station.

The Garda Press Office said investigations are continuing.

Reopened.

I guess they don't do apologies in AH. Just redicule, doubt, etc. etc.

Anyway, the OP has a good point about safety and glad to hear they got out of this scrape alive.
