    Anyone hear about the alleged taser used by the cops versus a teenager out at Maxol on Dunmore Road last week?

    (i believe it isn't a mad up story, he was resisting arrest or something)

    Shocking, excuse the pun :)

    Probably the regional support unit.

    Misleading title. If it happened, it wasn't an attack, it was defence/required. And if the RSU had to use it (they're the only ones with them in this region!) then you can guarantee they had a very good reason.

    Yes I drove passed that area at the time and I saw this person being restrained, I didn’t see the tasering if it happened. I hate this cop versus teenager taser attack ****e though. As has been said the Guards were probably put in a dangerous position and were left with no other choice. There are way too many excuses made for the bad behaviour certain sections of society.

    Love Chinese whispers !!!
    There was an incident at the garage, real version of events.....
    Two drunken teens nick a box of miller from the garage and legged it, they were outside jeering the staff and assaulted a couple of young lads a while later.
    Cops were called and they atacked one of the guards which led to them being peppered sprayed and arrested.

    It's wicked rough out that way. More tasers is the only answer.

    Good job by the gardai,

    Anyone who's got a dart of it will tell you, hurts like a muddafukka!

    Pepper spray, ah... big difference and a lot less of a story :(

    As long as they don't rob those snowballs, 6 for a €1, that is a taser offence

    If it happened, that's pretty bad. On a side note- why is resisting arrest an offence? It's human nature to want to distance yourself from perceived Danger.

    taser isn't enough if the person involved was acting the bollix

    Acho so. Well then when you were DJ'ing, let's say a guard came to you and said: "That last set of yours was positively shocking, and you're under arrest for crime against good taste, in accordance with Article xyz ".

    Would you have:
    a. started lashing at the guard, kicking and shouting abuse
    b. complied with the order given and then contacted a lawyer or whatever

    You cant have every Anto, Johner and Jemimah start fighting guards because they have a different interpretation of the law.

    EDIT: Unless they're Freedom fighters. In which case it's totally cool.

    hahaha this. I suppose you're right. I'm definitely not cool enough to be a freedom fighter, that's for sure.
