I complained about this to the Garda commissioner and ombudsman, the ombudsman has seemingly forgotten about my complaint, the commissioner says he'll forward it to the *training* department, of all people. I'm thinking about reminding them, but I don't know if its even worth wasting the stamp.
@Chrisi313 The Garda Ombudsman have not completed their findings. It's a significant investigation. It is worth contacting them to see what stage they are at.
Everytime i see protesters they dont have weapons. Wtf you think is gonna happen.. You need bottles of alcohol knifes sticks shields so on so forth. you think these people with power are gonna give it up easy..
Been in Cork two years and wanted to show my support as a Frenchman.
Seen the recession in Cork over the last two years, and it's nice too see the Irish young men and women leaving their usual policial apathy for a while ( smiley wink), standing up, being politicized and all, and fighting for their right to education.
A right not a privilege lads.
Keep up the good work and take care of yourselves.
here is a march on the dail on the 7th dec buget day cowan and co are in there til 9pm ,we all need to be on this ,lets show them our anger we are been laughed at ...
it starts at 7pm the garden of remembrance ..thanks
Such a shame to see the ordinary citizens fighting each other, the same family that struggles to put a kid through school also has a policeman just trying to make ends meet... meanwhile the political puppets and corporate manipulators watch from their guilded mansions and scheme to create another economic bubble from which to profit. Start marching to their homes folks, and get the police to join you.
Their primary role is to protect the State and the powerful from the population.
By organising correctly, democratically, we can formulate a plan to pressure the State and their rich pals from multiple directions. Occupations, strikes and blockades in many areas can overstretch the guards and defeat the agenda of the rich while simultaneously teaching ordinary people how powerful they really are. Forget "leadership", educate yourself and get organised.
If the people were organised correctly, and made single unified charges at the scum garda then they'd be running with their tails between their legs.The masses vastly out number them it makes no sense at all why we back off from them and how they can dominate.If we had one proper organiser to lead the charges we'd take them down and overthrow them. Not that thats the intention.But if the garda start attacking the people then the people should have a plan to attack back.
the scum bag cop abusing that student at 4:45!!! you know who you are garda.. any time you want to come an step on the mats at aikido club please be my guest.. maybe you wont be half as smart or such a hard man then. that was absolutely unlawful abusive and distructive behaviour both mentally and physically. its also incriminating being caught on camera.. your easily ID'd. i understand gardai have to do what there told, but excessive force?...
There so brave, kitted out in riot gear, beating defenceless people who are calmly sitting on the ground.. God forbid one of the protestors hit them back only then would a case go to court. This injustice is a disgusting shame!
keep an eye out for a titled "police brutality.mp4 " another example of police beating students trying to protest against the rise in tuition fees. i just uploaded it so it may take some time to play
To USI President Redmond : Please shut up about who you do support and who not. Were the Gardai differentiating between groups when they battered students with heavy-handedness ? NO. So please , get down off your high horse .
Disgusting abuse of basic civil liberties. We are one of a few countries left with anything resembling political freedom and we should hold onto it dearly.
I propose some new cuts 50% pay cuts for the Guards to start perhaps pay them in buckets of swill. I am sure that would go down a treat. Ah I spose they are only doing what they are told poor tings
Its bad enough our economy is fucked, having scumbags with badges makes me worry. How could grown men get their kicks from beating up students, thats actually defending the future of the country, if anything a better future for most of those guards kids.. Hope Karma is on the hunt this Christmas!
@oconnorciaran.. here here! the behaviour of the guards is both shocking and appalling. how anyone could perform such horrible acts to such a good looking guy at 4:40 is beyond me! i mean innocence is written all over his face and he is most likely just resting after what must have been a hard day of protesting. i think the country needs more people like this to take a stand and with gods help lead us out of this recession.
absolutely shocking! I never imagined the guards of this country could be capable of such aggression, its sickening. The footage at 4:40 alone would merit an investigation itself. I mean the innocent victim showed no signs of violent conduct yet he was treated as if he was an outlaw and lucky not to receive serious injury to his arm or face... Unbelievable!
If I can't get into college then I'd have to leave. Not everyone has the money to go to college at this price. Why take education away from these people? What we need is more educated people to get us out of this mess! They don't care if the people get knocked out, but if one of them gets punched in the face? They will say it's wrong. Lets face it. We need a new goverment. a fair one. Today, it's police brutality. Tommorow, it's a dictatorship. It makes me sick.
at 4.42 the garda says ill break your fxxking arm if you dont get up! the garda have taken a oath to uphold your rights ect , this is how crimanal OUR cops are and thats in public with everybody watching could you imagine what crimes they do behind close doors with no withnesses, get his number and report him ,
if they bring in Fees, it will be a return to the 80's where only wealthy families could go to college, that is not the way to create an Educated work force!!!!!!!!!!
omg at the end a guard smacks the camera now how is that right if he broke it wah ?
and the poor boy near the end just sitting on the pavement he looked like he was just resting then they attack him like they dont put shitty wrist locks on the homeless and tell them to move with such aggression
im pretty much screwed im in 5 yr nd there just guna keep hiking up the cost so i wont get the chance to go to college cheers lads im just guna go to SMART country where i can get an education AND a job
Fair play to taxi driver.Face facts OUR GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY, RUINED LIVES, BANKRUPTED PEOPLE, PUT FAMILIES OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND DRIVEN PEOPLE TO SUICIDE.
Thats what Fianna Fail has done for Ireland.Cheating, lying,thieving scum.
The government WANTS young people to emigrate. It cant afford student grants, it cant afford dole,there are NO jobs.The gardai are an extension of the government.I wonder will they be cut in the budget,they'd be the first out with blue flu then
Typical of the Gardai. Abusing the power they have as usual. Malicious fuckers. The people protesting are students, they're not scumbags. Cant believe that girl was dumped on the ground like that. Any guard who was involved in anything like that should be reported!
im actualy so shocked by this video young ppl get treated like scum nd there nt tey hav a right 2 fight 4 ter education nd tere nt aloud d garda's r 2 b dere 2 look after d irish ppl nt send them into hospital nd tey hav no rite this country will end up in bits nd in war jus like spain nd france i quess none of us aloud freedom of speach anymore its jus a shame wat a way 2 bring ur future generations
at 4:52 Why is the guard saying get up right now while he is already up :/ The gaurds are a hape of shite anyway what the fuck is wrong with them.. disgraceful.
I was disgusted by what i saw and i am a citizen of Ireland living in Florida. In particular , the young woman who is dragged out unconscious by a cyclist helmeted Garda, badge no. B 556, now identfied as David Campbell. This guy knows or is responsible for the young lady's condition. He is out of Pearse St. Garda station .I urge all of you, students and concerned citizens, to lodge a formal complaint . A prosecution is the answer to this outrageous behavior.
The guy at 3:57 is some man. He's right. The guards were totally out of line, thinking that because they are guarda means they are in a position to threaten and use excessive force at their own will. A shining example of what's wrong with our police force.
Keep fighting, and occupy if you have to. Get the trade unions involved. Over here in Canada we look to anyone fighting to build the resistance to ever higher fees, attacks on student unions, campus labour unions and campus free speech.
lmao i find it funny that the cops can say theres no prove of them hiting the people or using there power to full this video shows it fucking wankers hittin the lad when he was jus sittin down i wonder does it make the guard feel big does it
I m not Irish but First time ever i`ve seen this sort of protest against government and rule in Ireland. Irish is waking up from pink dreams..Its time to wake up early..If you stay quite like sheep,there will be lots of shepherd for you..
People stop pretending that all the students are perfectly innocent and the gards are evil! have those saps are just out to cause this trouble and arent students at all... scroats
the gards = scandal, government = scandal, mainstream media = scandal,you dont hear about this on the news or as the taxi man said the 32 taxi men who committed suicide,our fukn media and the world over is all the same,bullshit on the news,mary harney got hit with paint,we have no jobs which we all know,the goverment and their cheese,wtf,its about time we start broadcasting real stories and stories that matter and are fully true cos like fuck did the usi start that shit
You would'nt see that type of police brutality in either China or North Korea.I know because I've lived in both countries.Ireland is becoming ever more authortarian!
i am a Chinese student living in Dublin, i totally agree with Irish students when they stand up to oppose the fee increase of education. education is a right not a business. students did not do any thing to damage the economics, either did their parents. it was the bankers and greedy people of wall street. it is them who made people lose their jobs, it is them who put other people s lives in risk in purpose of chasing their own befits.
this is disgraceful , is there any complaints being made??. this government is taking the p***!! we all should be out there , they call this a democracy!! also more fool everybody who doesnt get off there arse to change this with the rest of us!!
I hope more and more will take to the streets coming up to the budget. ICTU have a big one at the end of the month hopefully with a few 100,000. Fuck the pigs and fuck fianna fail. No offence to decent garda, but you are a minority.
If only America would stand up and do the same. It sucks to live in a country in which the people have become so deluded and/or beat down that they can't find the will to stand up and protest against their increasingly idiotic government.
Hi guys. I've made a facebook page in the hope of showing as many people as possible the disgraceful conduct of garda B 556. It's called "Report Garda B 556 for Negligence in the Duties of an officer"
PLEASE search for it, join it, tell all your friends and of course report the man. Thank you
Jesus christ!! Thats disgraceful behaviour out of the guards!! feck sake!!! bastards shouldnt get away with that!! it shouldnt be jus student that do a protest!! should be everyones families and all .. This country is gone to the dogs.!!
Absolute disgrace.....innocent ppl making a point get the Garda investigated who caused injury to innocent ppl....No one beat them when they had their blue flu day, every day we drive pass guard driving on mobile and personally i've been offered lifts home from garda who are platered driving their own cars home from a night club....scum, no wonder the country is like this
I am myself a student from Pakistan studying in Ireland.
I have full sympathy with the students protesting against the fee rise.
Police should not use force against innocent students. They have every right to register their protest. They were peaceful.
Police in almost every country is used by state authorities to torture innocent people , never saw or watched they have beaten the real culprits. Only helpless and innocent people become their victim.
The riot police were absolutely out of line...the protesters weren't causing any harm!!!!I know it's their job but they should not have acted like that.....really out of line. A DISGRACE for the gardai.
OMG I'm absolutely appalled at the behaviour of some of the Gardaí in this video! One incident @ 3:55 shows a kid being smacked with a baton while sitting defenseless on the ground! :-O
garda are a disgrace 3:53 no reason what so ever to use that baton pure and utter disgrace everybody like and favorite this video to get it seen more the whole world should be made aware of the vicious animals that are supposed to keep the peace in ireland, there brutal animals
Garda did the right thing you just have to respect the law and know your limits....it a shame that few militant elements got involved in the march and turned a peaceful protest into a shameful mess.........
This is a fucking disgrace, instead of the Garda doing any real work like catching murderers or rapists or cutting road deaths - over 30 people died last month in this country on the roads - instead they assault cash strapped students. I wonder what the Garda would do if they had to pay thousands to train in Templemore. Wankers, suddenly they all have big dicks when they have batons!!!!!!!!!
that is fuckin bad i thought those kind of things only happens in south asian countries ...........but God that is so bad................ i dont think garda is responsible for this .becouse they do what they told to do ... so it is goverment who is need to pay for this..........pak
This is sickening! How do those "people" sleep at night! Did you email this to the press! I know most of the time they don't take our side but this is horrible!!!
I was there from the peaceful start to the violent end & it became obvious as the day wore on there was goin to be trouble. The Garda using unnecessary violence is nothin new in this country. I've been a victim of this violence in the past & a victim of the corruption that gets them away with it. They're a fuckin disgrace. The sad thing is that this video is just one of many forms of proof about they're disgusting behaviour yet every 1 of them will get away with it & will be on our streets again
I wasn't at this protest but was at the Fight the Fees protest two years That was a massive protest but I don't remember there being such a large garda presence being there unlike this year let alone riot police turning up! From these videos, I don't see these students as being threats. Granted, there was probably a few being a bit unruly but none of them appear to be brandishing weapons or acting aggressively. The guards were brutal in this and need to be dealt with swiftly..
it wasnt all the police who were brutal in fairness like the guy who helped get the girl who was KO'd out of the place seemed pretty decent but yeah there was a lot of unnecessary violence
Fair play to every1 who went out to protest! I agree with the taxi man at the start it shouldn't only be students, I think it's time we all stopped sitting behind our screens moaning about what should be done and get out there together and protest 2 get it done.Our government is atrocious & so is the acts of the Gardai! We need new government and quick before they ruin us altogether!As for Mary Harney, Minister for Health my ass! She can't even look after her own health never mind our countries!
that was just evillll.... i was in that protest for a short will and it was alot of fun. nobody was trying to hurt anyone or anything, for this to happen later...
Gardai are a fucking shambles of a police force. Any excuse for them to vent their problems, cant handle students voicing their opinions so they call in the "big boys" with the battons and riot gear, fucking pathethic. Cowards on a power trip!
3:54 actually makes my blood boil.........for me it has reached a stage where Im starting to understand the "people" or what we refer them to be as scum bags finally. You know the guys that for years were spraying on the walls " **** the law" etc.etc.... maybe they are the guys that were right after all. I know if some one came into a bank to rob it,I would probably applaud the guy and hold the door open for him on his way out. .Proud to be Irish? Ha what a SHITHOLE!
they are going to hit the elderly hard in the next budget, dont think my granny will have the energy for this carry on though. maybe not, maybe she'd kick some riot gear ass.
this video makes me sick. The fact that the Gardai, government and even the media turn a blind eye to this brutality really shows how low this country has stooped.
fucking non eating cheese bastards of a government,fucking ireland up,people like these students deserve better,get this government out now by any means !!!!!!!!
In germany when police starts to attack the protesters, they yell "Wir sind friedlich, was seid ihr?" Which would be translated to "We are peaceful, what are you?". This yelled, by thousands, directly in the faces of the policemen might make them think about their actions. Might make them consider if they really want to be the agressor in this fight.
Sure the gardai are just glorified security guards.Rise up and take our country back from the corrupt officials who say they have our doing this for our benefit.Sack them all, and make them live off the dole see how they like it.
my mates went to this and one of them came home with a lump the sick of a large orange on his arms and a black eye he was trying to shealter a girl from blows from a garda when they where peacefully sitting on the ground our goverment and police is aload of bollox! i hope ever garda that hit someone will burn in fuckin hell and our goverment has there blood on there hands ....
Holy crap, i wished of joining the Garda one day but damn, i never thought they were that.. abusive of their powers such as at 3:01 thats just way too rough and agressive!, no respect for the general public at all!
Absolute disgrace, that young girl was taken out of the crowd and thrown to the curb like a piece of Rubbish. The police officer walked away without any concern or regards for her wellbeing only for her friend intervening who knows what would have happened. He should be held accountable for what he did. From this video these kids were sitting on the ground with no weapons only using their democratic voice to let their opinions be known only to have the gardaí thumping them with their batons.
Was there as well, had hurt my hip(at something else) and was limping. After the main fights were over the riot police "cleared" the streets and one of them pushed me with his shield so that I fell because I "wasn't moving fast enough". I wish I had taken his number. Pushing someone limping, very classy. Wow wow wow. And the riot Guardaí ESCALATED everything to begin with. Total fucking disgrace.
3.53.. It looked appropriate to hit ur man sitting down cos the threat he was posing was unreal..he looked a dangerous man on the ground.. the gards are the biggest bunch of scumbags goin
I agree with "shivnen" about a complaint of negligenve, but IMHO you haven't seen anything yet, compared to police violence in Greece. Such a complaint would never occur in Greece where police brutality, tear gas and incessant beatings of demonstrators are the (dis)order of the day. SOLIDARITY WITH IRELAND, Greetings from Greece.
This video makes me wanna throw a brick at a guards face. 4.41-4.55 is unnecessary, just like every other fucking clip in the video. i mean that poor girl who got KO'd being thrown to the kerb
This is a discrace..clearly that girl was an inocent student and that gard KOd her and just flung her on the kerb like a pice of garbage the lowest scumbags in ireland woudnt do that.. The gards have been geting away with murder the last few years becouse they cannot be fired like the rest of us
I moved away from Ireland in 2004 after 25 years when the maingy Celtic Tiger got put down for good. I think it was a wise choice, look how bad things have gotten. Ridiculous.
Great video Paula. Photos of the injuries suffered by students can be found at free-education.info/photos-gardai-leave-students-bloody-and-bruised-at-national-student-protest-in-dublin/
Oh my god the poor girl that is wrong....im a teacher and if i did that to a student what would happen to me....that is terrible...what is happening to my country....can we not protest...its a right....or am i mistaken
This makes me sick, The bankers have robbed us blind made this country so bad our daughters and sons are growing up in a world of not knowing if thye will have a job or a home of there own, But are they hit with battons, or dragged along the ground ow no they sit still in their comfy homes drive there big cars and dont have to worry about paying bills, all these young people want is a right to a education with out being crippled with fees, shame on this goverment kick them out
More people should take to marching in the streets, I don;t think enough people are doing it personally, everyone seems content to go to the pub on a Saturday night and rant about government actions but can't be bothered to take physical action. We need a change at the highest level, not a substitute party which will slide in and continue to screw over the average man or woman.
This is an absolute DISGRACE. The Gardai do not have a right to touch you unless you're acting in a threatening manner and not a SINGLE person that got beaten, pushed or picked up acted in any way threateningly. This is an absolute disgrace and I am APPALLED at the action taken by the Gardai. I will DEFINITELY be complaining.
some of them garda acted like scum and should lose their jobs, the youing one was out cold and the other fella was hitting a fella on the ground if your going to fight fair not like a cowardly excuse for a man behind your shied
Fuckin Bastards... mail this evidence to the ombudsman,
# Garda Commissioner or any member of An Garda Síochána at any Garda Station
# To any member of An Garda Síochána at or above the rank of Chief Superintendent at any place * Send your complaint in writing to 150 Abbey Street Upper, Dublin 1 or by fax to 01 814 70 23 * Online by using the online complaints form make a complaint by submitting the online GSOC 1 form * By Phone to LoCall 1890 600 800
The Garda really need better training on how to handle this sort of thing. It is disgraceful the action they took against people sitting down and not threatening them.
I complained about this to the Garda commissioner and ombudsman, the ombudsman has seemingly forgotten about my complaint, the commissioner says he'll forward it to the *training* department, of all people. I'm thinking about reminding them, but I don't know if its even worth wasting the stamp.

The government WANTS young people to emigrate. It cant afford student grants, it cant afford dole,there are NO jobs.The gardai are an extension of the government.I wonder will they be cut in the budget,they'd be the first out with blue flu then

Typical of the Gardai. Abusing the power they have as usual. Malicious fuckers. The people protesting are students, they're not scumbags. Cant believe that girl was dumped on the ground like that. Any guard who was involved in anything like that should be reported!

I was disgusted by what i saw and i am a citizen of Ireland living in Florida. In particular , the young woman who is dragged out unconscious by a cyclist helmeted Garda, badge no. B 556, now identfied as David Campbell. This guy knows or is responsible for the young lady's condition. He is out of Pearse St. Garda station .I urge all of you, students and concerned citizens, to lodge a formal complaint . A prosecution is the answer to this outrageous behavior.
SuperVeryConcerned 1 year ago 11
The guy at 3:57 is some man. He's right. The guards were totally out of line, thinking that because they are guarda means they are in a position to threaten and use excessive force at their own will. A shining example of what's wrong with our police force.

i am a Chinese student living in Dublin, i totally agree with Irish students when they stand up to oppose the fee increase of education. education is a right not a business. students did not do any thing to damage the economics, either did their parents. it was the bankers and greedy people of wall street. it is them who made people lose their jobs, it is them who put other people s lives in risk in purpose of chasing their own befits.

I am myself a student from Pakistan studying in Ireland.
I have full sympathy with the students protesting against the fee rise.
Police should not use force against innocent students. They have every right to register their protest. They were peaceful.
Police in almost every country is used by state authorities to torture innocent people , never saw or watched they have beaten the real culprits. Only helpless and innocent people become their victim.
C'mon guys you can do it.Save your future.

I wasn't at this protest but was at the Fight the Fees protest two years That was a massive protest but I don't remember there being such a large garda presence being there unlike this year let alone riot police turning up! From these videos, I don't see these students as being threats. Granted, there was probably a few being a bit unruly but none of them appear to be brandishing weapons or acting aggressively. The guards were brutal in this and need to be dealt with swiftly..

In germany when police starts to attack the protesters, they yell "Wir sind friedlich, was seid ihr?" Which would be translated to "We are peaceful, what are you?". This yelled, by thousands, directly in the faces of the policemen might make them think about their actions. Might make them consider if they really want to be the agressor in this fight.

Absolute disgrace, that young girl was taken out of the crowd and thrown to the curb like a piece of Rubbish. The police officer walked away without any concern or regards for her wellbeing only for her friend intervening who knows what would have happened. He should be held accountable for what he did. From this video these kids were sitting on the ground with no weapons only using their democratic voice to let their opinions be known only to have the gardaí thumping them with their batons.

Was there as well, had hurt my hip(at something else) and was limping. After the main fights were over the riot police "cleared" the streets and one of them pushed me with his shield so that I fell because I "wasn't moving fast enough". I wish I had taken his number. Pushing someone limping, very classy. Wow wow wow. And the riot Guardaí ESCALATED everything to begin with. Total fucking disgrace.
