    Pretty poor form alright.

    Twink is getting about isn't she.

    Id say the protest outside the Russian embassy was a bloodbath.

    Are there any of these videos that don't start just as a Gard is dragging someone off? Its almost like they don't want you too see the peaceful protester before the evil Gards pounce on him for just standing there being all peaceful at a nice distance.

    ugh that turns my stomach. Why do the guards all have to crowd around him as well

    Pro-tip: don't lie down in the middle of the road when the police tell you to move away. Also, if you're an epileptic who is prone to having fits you shouldn't be putting yourself at risk like that.

    I also love that the video opens with a title describing it as "brutality". I can make my own mind up, thanks. Love the protesters shouting and roaring at the gardai trying to do their jobs as well.

    Rent a crowd knobends.

    Unless that guy was waving about a weapon or acting in a way which was going to cause immediate physical harm to anyone or a guard I can't see how dragging him along the ground by the head can be in any way proper order... I know these protest groups are contentious, but even the way they are around him afterwards, big guilty hands all around him.. That's. Not on I don't think for any force to behave like that unless the guy was endangering life like...
    Scary ****

    You don't understand crowd control but don't let that get in the way of your rant.

    They clearly weren't trying to drag him along the ground. It's fairly obvious they tried to pick him up and carry him, but he was throwing himself around the place and trying to kick out.

    ye they were doing such a good job controlling the crowd?! They seemed totally clueless as to how to act at this guy having a fit.

    Most cops overseas have tear gas, pepper spray and tazers. People have a right to protest but most police forces around the world have the right not to give to fcuks about your right to protest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 998 ✭✭✭dharma200


    Ah ok I must have missed that bit

    **** I didn't realise there was a Saturday night guard brutality thread lol.. Feel free to merge with all the others mods .. Maybe we should request a board all on its own for the mega thread!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Royal Legend


    This is Ireland, if they want to protest then they should go the Gaza or to Israel, then they would witness brutality and I doubt if they would be so mouthy with the local police or militia there either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭Mongfinder General


    The right to peaceful protest.

    Clarify peaceful?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,566 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Guards are nerds .The difference is they now have power unlike in their school days.
    It's sad to see them all behave like robotic nerds. It's kinda revenge I guess.

    They are guards, not doctors.

    And he was putting a life at risk - his own, by lying down in the middle of a road for fcuk sake!
