Given that criminals here get suspended sentences for assaults that would be classified as murder attempts in some other countries, this is a “fair” outcome even if Gardai comitting crimes are given more harsh sentences.
A Garda unlawfully searches a vulnerable child in foster care, destroys his Leap card, and humiliates him by pouring water over him, all without consequence. What a disgrace of a police force and justice system.

The idea that pouring water on someone is an assault worthy or prison time is absurd. This is what disciplinary actions are for.
Also, I’ve never encountered a 17 year old I’d describe as a ‘vulnerable child’, but that’s another conversation.
No longer a serving garda thankfully.
Christ what a mess.
Such a silly thing to do as a guard.
They don’t seem to be able to get a handle on the open drug dealing there, which I ironically saw earlier today. Then throwing this kind of shite into the mix is so stupid.
A humiliating mistake for the guard and 10k for the victim is probably an ok outcome.
The Garda was very much in the wrong. It was a completely degrading act to do. Very much bully boy tactics.
Gardaí too often ride rough-shot with the law in regards to searches, they’ll conjure up some excuse like “there’s a smell of cannabis” to search someone. Or they’ll just use barefaced intimidation & abuse their power.
But, given the fact we don’t get any detail on the injured party cause of the laws preventing people under 18 being named in any way, were there priors? Did that individual interact with those Gardaí before?
There are many 17 year olds out there in the inner city who have been involved in criminality all throughout their teens.
They’re the biggest scourge to society in Dublin imo.
Gardaí have to deal with these gurriers, who usually escape punishment.
It’s sad, but especially those in state care, who abscond on the daily and have no parental supervision.
Anyway, the bottom line is Gardaí should not have done what he did.
This sounds like Gardai knew this kid quite well.. Gardai totally in the wrong but like any good story there’s definitely more than meets the eye
That’s what happens when you give people power, they abuse it. Unjustifiable authority
Let’s keep punishing the garda instead of the scotes. That will help solve the crime problem right? Right?
And they’re being given tazers 😂
A really creepy, disgusting thing of that Garda to do. Obviously has very poor impulse control, glad he doesn’t seem to be serving any more.
One thing I will say in the Guards (very partial) favour is, I wonder how much training and ongoing support they get for working in areas where theres a lot of drug dealing and anti social behaviour. They’re probably getting constant abuse (i dont mean the like the victim btw, he didnt call the Guard a name until after he bent his Leap Card.)
Genuinely not defending that Gaurd, it was disgusting and I wouldnt have felt sorry if there was a custodial sentence.
But they’re badly paid, especially for Dublin. They’re arent enough of em. I would hope that theres some supports put around the high level of stress of the job. If we want better policing we should be prepared to pay for it, and give them what they need also.
What a bunch of cunt pigs, no wonder the country gone to shit.
Ah the gardai never change, always up to something shady
how can we just stand by when the judges let pedophiles, rapists, corrupt officials and abusers of any sort just walk free? we need to start holding the judges accountable. who is behind it ? because Its like the judges are being forced to give these sentences, surely they all aren’t pedophiles and abusers too.
genuine question : how can judges get away with letting people off with these crimes ? it’s every week that a sex offender or some abuser gets away scot free.
It would be great if someone were to repay them tenfold and water cannon them.
4 guards and not 1 of them thought nope let’s not do this.
Bad people are attracted to positions of power. I’ve no doubt this man is a piece of shit

Please can we give these people high voltage tasers, they are so responsible and level headed, never abuse power.
This man should be banished to the absorbancy part of tampon commercials 😱
Let’s not make any mistake, this a direct response to the “Every young lad in town is a scrote” vibe that people happily espouse about everyone who has the audacity to be outside after 6pm in the city center. The search was illegal, even before we talk about the prosecuted act. The core of it is, even lads in tracksuits are entitled to walk around without being searched, and to take that away from them takes it away from everyone.
So Garda bullies a child and is excused…sounds accurate in this country
