I know an old Filipino gent who was a cop in Manila back the 60s-70s, he said they used to fire the warning shot after they dropped the bad guy.

It was a warning to the next wannabe gangster.

I believe 7 shots discharged with only 5 hitting the target. That is what is shocking me. 71 percent hit rate. No good enough.

Have a look at comparable ratios of rounds discharged to rounds on target in a stress situation, that's high.

Any politician who turns up at that protest in Blanchardstown would be my first target for the "hate legislation" they have a hard on for.

I assume it will be broken up for breach of the covid regulations?

Laws are for poor people.

Any threads set up for the people terrorised by the shop robbery?

It's embarrassing seeing the likes of Jedward doing this.
And people who should know better are not far behind.

What about the shop assistant who might need counselling after this.
What about this man taking responsibility and not doing this to his friends and family by not threatening people in a shop with a knife and lunging at a garda with that knife.

What about the guard who shot him, who has to live with taking someone's life and who was forced to only because another life could have been taken.

People here telling guards how to do their job is cringeworthy and if people who should know better fuel this stupidity, things are only going to get worse.

This was a tragedy.
The guy to blame for it is dead.
There will be an inquiry into how the guards acted.

So very sad to see our young people desperate to live out their own racial victimhood fantasy, to have their part of the regressive identity politics zeitgeist. The race baiters and grifters have won.

I highly doubt they discharged two warning shots AFTER shooting someone dead.

Well thats how you get away with the first 5 shots..."I tried to warn him by firing 2 warning shots first".

It's rather disturbing how racist idiots like Ebun Joseph have such a platform to promote hate and create racial divisions at every opportunity.

She's little better than Gemma O'Doherty yet is paid by UCD to peddle her ****e.

Rotten snobby cu675.

Using this for their own gain and pretending to be anything but rich, insulated tossers.

Who expects some good old fashioned looting and burning after this, plus a rally and to be damned with Covid restrictions. There is thing is like a wet dream for Gemma, Dee and the gemmabots.

Well thankfully we are in lockdown, well in relation to woke gatherings anyway. The meedja will shut down over NY. And quite frankly I doubt the vast majority give a sht. Publicity will decline soon enough. Feck them all.

IMO, the Gardai tried everything non lethal against this person and had no choice in the end. His family is alive, they might not be tonight but for the action taken.

Feel bad for the cop who fired, it's one thing to do all the training but to actually pull the trigger.

I really hope the cop isn't gonna get hounded

Does the shooting of a black man accused of criminality not align with what Gemma and her ilk pretend they stand for?

IE. Vitriolic racist "patriots" against multiculturalism.

Why would you do that, when you're educateing people (myself included) on why guards shoot mass, with certain tactics and reasons.

Are you a guards or firearm specialist?

I'm not who you are asking nor am I a member of An Garda Siochana, but I am competent in firearms and guarding procedures just in a different uniform. Based on my viewing of the video clip the situation had gotten to a stage where he needed to expend ball ammunition to hit.

Less than lethal options had proved ineffective and there was immediate and credible threat to himself and/or other members of AGS against an attack where such an attack presented a credible life threating situation, or to himself or another member of AGS from being disarmed. If the knife-wielder got close enough to an armed Gardai and slashed at his hand, wrist, forearm or just straight up stabbed him centre mass there is a risk that the firearm could be taken from him and you now have an individual with a firearm as opposed to an individual with a knife.

It just comes back to if it has gotten to a stage where you do need to take a point of aim and neutralise a threat you want to make sure that you absolutely can protect yourself and your colleagues. If you stand 10 feet away from a mirror and walk/jog/lunge towards it and move your arm in overhead swings or stabbing motions the one consistent target is from the waist to the shoulders.

The reds and shinners stoking this up are a disgrace.

Their only interest in this is to corner a slice of the political market. Trots have nothing else but Shinners will have to tread more carefully if they can keep their woke idiots in line. they have seats to lose.

As John Connors rightly pointed out, Lidl are robbing us every day. What with their affordable prices and jobs for disadvantaged areas...

I watched the video recording many times

It appears armed suspect is going into the house and is shot once from behind by an ASU member, he turns and swings the knife at the ASU member and is shot a further four times

The fifth shot being the last shot appears to be fired as suspect is falling to the ground

Now I'm not suggesting the force used was disproportionate to the threat but I would be raising questions based on the video. If the ASU member feared for the safety of person or persons in the house as suspect goes to enter then yes but we don't know the full facts yet. The last shot again appears questionable.

It's not as open/shut at this point as people may think.

Kids, kids, you’re BOTH wrong.

Bullets are for people who think it’s okay to steal, cheat, lie & wave machetes around.

That just reads like a press office statement rather than a response. I'm not saying the gardai are wrong here, just that it's questionable and needs to be answered as it's the difference between 'man shot by gardai' and 'man killed by gardai'

to me it reads like a comment based on what we do know. Tell me, if they wanted to arrest him, and I presume that was there attention, how exactly do they do that 20 feet away from him? an arrest requires that they get close.
