Gardai Harrasing Busker in Templebar

TheStook · 10-11-2012 11:28PM #1

What do ye make of this?

I think its crazy to think that it still goes on in a Country such as Ireland, right in front of a crowd of 50 people.

All the Gardai's numbers and stuff were recorded so I'm sure they'll get their punishment whatever that might be. But this is,in effect, police brutality?

Also- 1:30- AH HEAARE LEAVE IT OUUU.

No respect guard, no respect

The idea of Garda punishment.......best laugh I've had all day.

Love how the camera man sounds like an absolute knackbag.

This is disgusting.
Imagine there is a thread in emergency services (sorry on phone so can't link) about arming all of these shower of sh1tehawks.
They always go on about the tiny %age of bad cops but it is a lot more than tiny.

Spiritual · 10-11-2012 11:38PM

Context would be nice. I hate Guards, but would like to know what caused it.

Boombastic · 10-11-2012 11:39PM

In before magic s, sure doesn't it keep them busy- they won't have to go down the boardwalk to deal with the smack....there is probably a good cafe in temple bar for the cuppa after the busker raid

Pepper spray the lot of them. Police brutality my arse.

not yet · 10-11-2012 11:41PM

Should have nutted him while calling him a free state basturd...I'd love to see that.

But what happened before the video started?
I doubt the busker played a song the guard didn't like so he decided to arrest him.
I'm not defending the guards but how do we know what went on?

Pepper spray them(which they did) for playing music on the street? Nobody in the video had a problem with their music if you listened to them complain to the Gardai.
The dude didn't resist and he was peppersprayed, thrown to the ground and hit several times.

Power mad gits some of them are! Disgraceful behaviour!

It is if you can't play an instrument or sing.

They were playing with amps, guard comes to there and says you can't use the amp lads, they ask can they busk without the amps etc and the guard says yeah grand, 5 minutes later they come back and tell the buskers to leave blah blah, when asked why the one of the guards quoted "act yaddda yadda" and acts like he knows what he is talking about, turns out the act he quoted was actually related to rape...

Basically, the guards were just being *****.

If they didn't want any hassle then why were they crowding the gardaí and shouting at them?

If I'm walking through town and yell "filth!" at someone, I'd expect what I got, never mind if I said it to a garda.

I doubt any of the Gardaí are 5 star.

Well guards hate nothing more than a jeering crowd looking on. They obviously didn't want to look like complete tools so got tough. Crowd made it worse if anything and all filming away on their phones. I hear they want to make that a criminal offence Spain. Must be something more to it. UK cops will arrest anyone who gets in their face and are much tougher. Likewise for European cops.

yermandan · 10-11-2012 11:52PM

is this your video op?

Thanks, I couldn't follow the video properly at all so hadn't a clue what was happening.
You would think in this day & age guards would know better. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a video on their phone, something like this happens & there's usually 7 or 8 people recording it.

Here's a question, do guards get any PR training as part of their course?

I assume the guard meant S8, Criminal Justice (Public order) Act 1994

incompetent thugs most of these fellas. I saw a female guard the other day leaning against a wall, looked about 15 stone the state of her

If you have ever had the misfortune of getting on the wrong side of the Police in Spain you will remember it. Those boys/ girls take no crap. They aren't worried about bystanders or a crowd jeering, they just lash out when talking isn't getting the desired result.

15 stones hardly constitutes a wall.
