This was obviously a long pursuit that spanned many Garda districts, hence the amount of patrol cars involved.

Chopper is up too so no chance of them getting away.

Jesus thats some amount of cars :eek:

No hope of them getting away once the choppers overhead,that and also because they were driving a battered 90's Nissan Micra!

Wonder what the Garda at 3:17 is taking out of the boot of the avensis estate patrol car?dog unit maybe?

Tis a real shame there isn't more of these types of shows. Especially Ireland only having the one (Traffic Blues). Its about the only type of TV I watch are these shows lol

. Isn't it something TV3 could do, I heard its cheap enough putting such a programme together, and I'm sure it would be popular.

The issue as I see it, and we're getting way off topic here, is that Garda management don't want to show what Gardai are dealing with on the street on a Saturday night etc. A traffic based show is safe to an extent as the public won't see too much.

I also firmly believe that the public are not yet ready, to see what Gardai actually have to put up with on a daily basis. People in this country, in general have a view that there is no danger to police in this country.

Why would Garda management be reluctant to show the reality?

are you serious · 22-03-2012 05:42PM

Reality is mainly what you see on the programme Coppers, that is why!

Because they would be asked what they have done about it

Well done that Cig.....well done those members. Very Professional operation.

Only thing missing is a Public Order unit and a few arrests.

"That Garda wacked my head off the wall. Im only 15. Im a minor, he can't do that"

You're only 15. WTF are you even doing there?!

Jesus, I love the way they think they are all high and mighty yet go around calling the Gardaí w**kers. Class A Citizens right there.

Somebody should tell them the Gardaí are just doing their jobs. Oh, wait, that would mean they would have nothing to shout at... :mad:

deadwood · 23-03-2012 08:55AM

It starts to get a bit like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTwV3vG73cU

"I have spoken to the Police"

"I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE POLICE!"

"No, no don't repeat this bit"

"NO,NO, DON'T REPEAT THIS BIT!"

"Stop it guys, we look silly. Nobody will take us seriously"

"STOP IT GUYS, WE LOOK SILLY. NOBODY WILL TAKE US SERIOUSLY!"

"Feck this, i'm going back to samba band practice, losers."

"FECK THIS, I'M GOING BACK TO SAMBA BAND PRACTICE, LOSERS!"

"No, stay here. You're idiots. You're sheeple, just like the cops. Stop repeating what I say and leave me alone."

"NO, STAY HERE. YOU'RE IDIOTS. YOU'RE SHEEPLE, JUST LIKE THE COPS. STOP REPEATING WHAT I SAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty occupier.

goldie fish · 23-03-2012 09:22AM

The best thing about the gardai dismantling the dame st occupation was....

The rest of the "99%" didn't give a ****. The ordinary people of ireland had absolutely no commentary on the actions seen in the above clips, because they don't care what a few hairy career protesters do.

Wish I'd been there. I would have grabbed a megaphone and politely replied "Well, they're my streets too, and I'd like you to get up off them, stop acting like spoilt brats, stop treating the Gardaí with contempt, and let people about their business like normal, respectful human beings."

I still don't get it. I don't think anyone particularly blames the Gardai for what happens on our streets. Gardai aren't responsible for social engineering, education policy, justice policy etc. They just get to clean up the messy end result.

What's the huge difference between Ireland and the UK? How come many UK forces are very happy to show this stuff?

Write to the Commissioner......because no one here has the answer to that.

MissEmcee · 23-03-2012 04:06PM

I'll bet most of them are on welfare (professional protestors) i.e. don't want to work! Most of them don't even know what they are protesting against.

Its challenging enough not to just burst out laughing at how pathetic some of them are, especially the chap in the 9 minutes ara.

As if its not bad enough using up all the guards time, calling the ambulance, for what im sure is just part of the show is nearly worse

Doing their job does not involve assaulting minors. The video also shows a garda about 4 mins in kicking. This is not part of his job. If it was it wouldnt be showing his collegue grabbing him by the arm stopping him
