Is this forum a garda forum or something? Everyone on here always seems to support police brutality and assume all civilians are scum. The video doesn't show the attack but the amount of witnesses to the attack seem shocked by what they saw! As my daughters friend is training to be a gardai, she asked her not to share it on Facebook, so I didn't either (shame on me).

TBH I actually thought the blood looked fake, but I like to keep an open mind. The gardai are just human after all, and are capable of doing bad things. Obviously they are not as corrupt as the law in other countries but it's still possible that the gardai can include some bad eggs.

It's strange how the Irish public on here are so anti-civilians.

No. You have it wrong.

We are anti-gowls.

I am just open minded, there are two sides to every story. I don't support police brutality. Police brutality is the police shooting unarmed black lads in the back running away. Removing a woman who is trespassing from a doorway is not. It was unfortunate that the door broke the way it did but the guards didn't take out their batons and beat it.

Thats it, make an assumption and fire a cheap shot at people who bother to get out and do something so the likes of you( and your children) wont spend your life paying for something that is a basic human right

Do you have a rain water harvesting system? Is it a basic human right that someone will run a pipe from the resivour to your door ?

The door would be made of safety glass which can't cut you. I'd like to see all the supporters comment if they saw actual independant footage if the whole event

I'm starting to feel nothing but utter contempt for the protesters at this stage.
Get off the roads, get out of my way, take your leaflets down and shove them up yer arses.

There is no brutality in the video.
We're not anti civilians, we are anti leaches.
The lads protesting have never had to pay a tax in their life.
USC, property tax are far worse taxes, but they people paying them are to busy working to protest.

So people will have to pay for their own **** to be taking out if the water, and the water cleaned. Sounds reasonable to me.

Yeah all I really meant was that a lot of people tend to either say the coppers are immediately in the wrong, and others just support them and moan about the civilian. I've noticed on here the majority was immediately pro-garda, but other places I looked where anti-garda. It would be good to see the whole video, not that I really want to see how that blood got there.

As mentioned earlier, Protesting is a waste of time, pisses people off and contributes nothing sure even Paul Murphy said it at a community centre meeting, the Government couldnt give a **** if 1,000 or 100,000 march they will carry on regardless.

These vids are doing me head in and I am starting to get bored of the whole thing

Knowing that these "peaceful" protestors spend their whole time videoing everything at these protests, do you thin the Gardai are just going around beating people knowing it'll end up all over the internet?

Super-Rush · 13-04-2015 10:14PM

Is there a need for another thread about de brutalityyyyy?

The protesters think they are a lot more liked than they actually are.

Fr_Dougal · 13-04-2015 10:15PM

Was completely anti water charges and had no intention of signing up to IW, but those absolute Gobschite protesters changed my mind about the whole thing.

Well I never watch these videos, I just presumed that was the first one. I've better things to be doing than watching these videos, this one just happened into my Facebook timeline.

Bit of a strange decision. Just don't pay if you don't agree and dont pay the protests a blind bit of attention.

its not actually a private company, it's a semi state company. what other type of company can do it. Globally councils have been off loading services as they can not do it efficiently. ESB, Eirgird , gas networks Ireland, VHI are all similar companies.

Our water service has had no investment in the last 100 years, there's boil notices all over the country.

The money we have been paying has only been enough to stick a plaster on leaks . To get rid of the Leaks and boil notices we need to invest, the money we currently out in to the system can't cover this.

The Garda should invest in some water cannons for the peaceful protests like
