    All true but sure the moaners wouldn't have anything to
    give out about if they were to believe that.

    It's just such a waste of energy to be annoyed at something so harmless. It's made a few people smile, and times are really hard so smiles count for something.

    And not inconsequentially, cops everywhere are also having a tough time like everyone else. and if getting behind this is a distraction for them then that's a good thing too.

    I have great respect for the Gardaí.
    They've to tell family that their son, daughter, mother, father, etc has died and how.
    They've to deal and investigate with very tragic incidents and crimes.
    They've to deal with being spat on, called every name under the sun, kicked, abused, you name it.
    I know they know what they are signing up to and of course they'll be some useless Gardai.

    *It's generally only rough all yokes who have no respect for them in my experience!

    It's hardly the fault of the Gardai that you believe the media. The Gardai that did it, were in the video.

    2 horses in their stable, 6 from the Garda college, 6 on the station roof during their break, 6 in a park it looks like, possible Phoenix park where the hq is judging by their uniforms and I think, 8 Gardai in a few tourist spots. 8 that engaged in dancing on their off time but in uniform. Fyi, if there was a crime they and all Gardai would still respond.

    This video was made more than 'the other day' so relax.

    I was not referring to video but stating what I saw.
    SO It's "fake news" and all the pic online are false.
    I have no idea when it was made but the Gardaí were practising steps here a few days ago.

    I never want to see a tictock video again, after the first 5 or so last year I was sick of them. I particularly never want to see a Garda or other essential service tic tock to ‘lighten the mood of the nation’. We really are living in a mad world where this ****e is even happening.

    You know when I see the video, I just see people having a bit of craic. They’re just people who, let’s face it, see the worst and best of humanity on a daily basis, I don’t begrudge them a few minutes of fun.
    All the moaning Michaels on here are great to give out, but they wouldn’t bother their arses to try and do anything positive.

    We have feral teenagers terrorizing the north inner city and these utter clowns are pouncing about dancing in their masks...

    Guards can dance if they want to
    They can leave feral teens behind
    Cause feral teens don't dance
    And if they don't dance
    Well, they're no teens of mine

    I thought it was a **** comment by someone who couldn’t argue a point so fell back on the lets take a pop at someone based on a physical attribute and pass it off as a bit of crack / banter/ joke.

    Have you no critical thought process and analytical reasoning skills?

    'Guards' for about the fifth time. Pretty basic English.

    It was recorded off duty. Where did I say different? You know what after work is? It's off duty.

    You know that 7am to 7pm shift? Well amazing as it sounds, is followed by a 7pm to 7am shift.

    During those 12 hours Gardai sometimes get what is commonly called 'a break'.

    They also sometimes do what's called 'office hours' like I dunno, if you worked in something like, an office? Like a senior officer that wears white instead of blue shirts?

    Or maybe they work an alternative 'community policing' roster that's different hours again but exists so they can work more during the day. Maybe?

    So, they did it in their own time. It was mostly performed in Garda buildings. The scenic stuff wasn't but it's still qualifies as 'the work place' for Gardai.

    And has been explained before, those same Gardai in or out of uniform and on or off duty would not hesitate to intervene in a crime or incident regardless of how much you don't like them and despite your simple belief system.
