Ireland descends in to violence

Planting Drugs and Explosives, Shooting to kill, Rioting, Beating up Women, Hassling Asylum Seekers and thats just the police!!!!!!

The latest crime report shows a massive increase in violent crime

What have the Garda been doing about it? joining in by the looks of it...

if you cant beat them, join them.

The Garda Commissioners own report shows massive failings in the Police/Justice system

* 93% increase in Assaults

* 83% increase in Sexual Assaults

* 33% increase in Murders

What on earth are the thousands and thousands of Garda doing (13,000) as our country descends in to violence?

Despite Large increases in funding, manpower and equipment the police do little to keep the streets safe for ordinary people. Instead our new minister for Justice seems to have prioritised the harassment of Immigrants, Travellers and Protesters!

In an inept display of Scapegoating Minister Mr McDowell tried to blame everyone but those responsible. (including Teachers and parents) McDowell also used the old chestnut of More Funding More Resources and most worrying More Laws.

FF PD you have failed us, your Celtic Tiger is violent and out of control
