arrest

Last night.

If you ever wondered why in the north inner-city people feel wary of the Gardai and how they behave, here’s an example.

Last night I was coming back from playing five-a-side with two friends. Car gets pulled over. Garda says can you pull in and leave the vehicle. Mate says ‘what for?’ Garda says ‘where are you going?’

Mate (above) says ‘on the way back from football and I’m going home to Sheriff Street. Why are you asking me to pull over?’ Guard says just get out please. Mate points out his constitutional rights.

Next thing two more gardai appear and tell him he’s being arrested. Mate asked, then I asked, ‘WHAT FOR?’ They refused to answer. Cuffed him, left his car in the middle of the road and then the gardai who were left with the car laughed about how they’d have to get a tow truck and bring it to Donabate “for a laugh”. Here’s a bit of it I got on video here.

We kept asking what he was being arrested for and garda who was left there says “why are you asking me, I haven’t “a clue.”.

Last two gardai got in their car with our mate’s car still in middle of road and shouted out  “enjoy your walk home boys”. WTF?

Garda van on O’Connell Bridge keeping an eye on things. Also on O’Connell Street – some flag waving young people.

The fenian fleggers are back.
