At last the councillors feel the anger of people facing the property tax, the water tax and other austerity measures

These people are heroes for representing half a million householders... Everyone has a right to a peaceful protest in a public space - calling the Gardai is akin to a dictatorship and alarming....... Janey Mack
GARDA VIOLENCE AS PROTESTS ROCK IRISH COUNCIL MEETINGS
Caption: we will rock you water boys
They're a nasty breed those plain clothes Gardaí with the wide arses that they use to intimidate people exercising their rights. They seem as though they come from some sort of cloning lab somewhere. The force they use is particularily vindictive and petty with no regard for the long term injuries their krav maga inspired moves can cause. They're out of the same nest as the new breed of the protein shake security thugs , great in a swarm but complete paper tigers in a straight fight. They work for big business interests , and dare you get in the way little ant , that's what they exist for and they'll snap your arms trying to stop you from standing up for yourself. But it's like a native American friend tells me , 'Their time is coming to an end'.
Funny how the gardai are out in force for these corrupt members of the public,but not around for the isolated vunerable people living up and down the country of ireland,in fear of burglary,arson,and theft etc..
Shame on the gards.
Fair play to the protesters,they are speaking for the people of ireland,we dont deserve this shit.
The banks and excesses of certain politicians landed us in this,they should have to pay it off,its funny how they didnt cut their 100,000 + salaries and expenses but expect us to take all the pain?
Leaders are supposed to show example.
This is not a democracy.
Where are gardai priorities??FFS..You will see a great gardai presense for a couple of peaceful protests ,but where are they when a house out in the country is being robbed,and people being assualted?
With garda stations closing down,where is the focus...only on a couple of protesters,not the victims of crime.
Its just great how they can co ordinate themselves in large numbers for a couple of protesters,its a pity they dont put the same energy into protecting members of the public from crimes such as burglaries and inner city muggings up and down the country
And the excessive force used for people holding a banner,shame on them.
what do you expect from a pig only a grunt.
The idea of community policing is a myth, the gardai have been behaving like this since day one, especially the uzi carrying special branch thugs.
Incidents like this serve as a good wake up call. the gardai are political animals,
They may have taken part in the march against austerity but they are still the first line of defence between you and the state.
The beat elderly women to the ground in rossport, pepper spray activists in cork for postering,
frame up republicans through the use of emergency legislation in the (non jury) special criminal court.
The message as always from the gardai is you can protest as long as it doesn't get results.
just be wary of puttin pics up if any of them could be used in court. i know when ones outraged ya wanna let everyone know and show people but in the long run if yis are gonna put in a complaint ya dont wanna give them any ammo ya know yersmelf
