The policman shouldn't have lashed out like that but come on, They have to put up with some amount of crap.
The people were not exactly protesting peacefully now were they. I think a few more should have been clocked on the head. Might put manners on them.
like our homegrown Mayday uniformed hero some years ago? The one who overlooked putting on his numbered ID.
Would these be the same people who, although members of the gardai, were not able to recognise him (a colleague, whose full face was on film)? OK he was not wearing his ID (surely an offence) and he lost the plot by physically abusing a member of the public (surely an offence) and finally, wasting garda time by not owning up (surely an offence). Or perhaps he did not recognise himself (which may not be an offence, but would warrant psychiatric evaluation)? It may not be of Rodney King proportions but nevertheless ......The Mayday matter was fully investigated and both court and internal disciplinary proceedings taken. Only one person was found guilty before the courts......and one guard was found not guilty by his peers, a jury made up of people like you and me.

If you are charged with a matter then naturally you are charged with breaching a specific section of the law.You are not charged with 'breaking the law'. Most that were before the courts were charged with offences relating to the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act. All bar one were found not guilty.
That puts the kybosh on this sacred tome http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/peerYou'll find that a jury of the guard in questions peers are NOT Gardai but members of the public.
THe video that I saw was timed and edited by RTE not the protesters. Do you reckon that RTE News were deliberately tampering with the evidence to give an unfair view of what happened?The one who was found not guilty? The video was nicely timed by the protestors, nothing shown when there were missiles thrown and general intimidation against the Gardai.
