Could have been honoring the rising; shouldn’t rush to conclusions.

After the batein’ that Army captain got yesterday i can’t wait to read the feed on this !!

Just wait a wee moment….

I hope he’s not roughing up the suspect!

there doesn’t seem to be a puddle.
Dubh Linn
You’re right! He could be coming rather than going
Janet, I ate my avatar
Unless he’s got a massive ding dong his elbows are at right angles. I reckon he is fiddling with his phone, probably commenting on BS. Guess the avatar ?
I hear him hummin’…. “The tide is high but I’m holding on….. I’m gonna be your number one
I’m not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, nooooooowoooooooowow……..”
Zzzzrrrrp!

It’s clear as day he’s not going the toilet. Honestly look at his elbows, I don’t know about anyone else but if my arms were bent that high up(like when looking at phone) I wouldn’t be able to reach my snake to hold it
But we can poke fun at it, can’t we. Yes, it’s a shame that those jumping the gun and mouthing off ‘blah, blah on duty’ etc… but can’t the rest of us just have a laugh at a funny pic :)
Harry Molloy
yeah you have a point I suppose, I’m just sensitive that gardai always get given such a hard time and think it effects their overall attitude and performance
bertie blenkinsop
Did you say before that you’ve two kids that are Guards or am I mixing you up with someone else?
Harry Molloy
I did yeah but I was lying. I tell an awful lot of lies.

Its actually a fair point. I know plenty of gardai that find it hard to deal with the level of vitriol when they are genuine decent public servants trying to do their best.

They should be quite rightly subject to scrutiny. If they don’t like being in the spotlight then don’t do a public service job where they appear in public dressed in high vis clothing. The police of any country should not get special treatment or be less accountable than anyone else. If it was a nurse in uniform or a doctor or teacher in this same pose in a photo it would quite rightly be on here as well. Guards are not sacred beings immune from a funny photo or any scrutiny.

Broadsheet is more or less the home of the witch hunt in Ireland.
Just have a look at the army press officer, John Waters and Joan Rivers obit here.
Deluded
Ok, I just had a look. The army fella was all over the meeja. Actually he was on the telly. I noticed a few commenters here rallied to his defense* and the martinets were slagged off.
John Waters floated when we dunked him in the pond, can’t argue with that.
The Joan Rivers thing was a bit odd though, it seems defending or criticising Israel in any way makes you something or other… what’s that about? She was a funny lady, RIP.
*I made a reference to debasement of a knight, to put it into perspective, like.
Pandora
So they should censor photos of people in uniform just because they are figures of authority?

I replied agreeing with you but my comment has been deleted for some reason
Spagnolia von Hoop
Many an oul lad would sneak into a corner like this to count their money. He’s definitely not urinating.
Steph Pinker
You can clearly see he’s not urinating from his reflection, BS are worse for publishing it.
ForFecksSake
He might be urinating or he might not. It is literally impossible to tell.

Nice Anne (Dammit)
Excellent !

If he is caught short is it worse that the aul boy is forced to do this in a corner rather than have a public convenience for something we all need to do. That said, I don’t think he is, but good opportunity to highlight the disgusting lack of public toilets in our cities.

could he be doing something else?

No.

Tomorrow he’ll be arresting others for doing the same. Dick.

This story doesnt seem to have the same legs as the army man with the phone.

The press protect the Garda Siochana. Editor of Indo was editor of the Garda Review.
How do you go from editing what is essentially a trade magazine for cops to editing one of the biggest daily national newspapers? Strange one that. Does not bode well for the freedom of the press.

That was in response to Anne’s now-dissapeared comment.
Am I allowed say I find this distasteful BS?
I blame it on the hurt of stolen bikes
I agree Anne.
one of the most distasteful side of the internet has always been online witch hunts and it would be a shame to see broadsheet moving into that sphere
But we can poke fun at it, can’t we. Yes, it’s a shame that those jumping the gun and mouthing off ‘blah, blah on duty’ etc… but can’t the rest of us just have a laugh at a funny pic :)
