Another random person hospitalized after unprovoked attack in Dublin city center

Gardai have been wearing stab vests since 2006.

Are you reading the links or just posting them ?

"New figures provided by the Minister for Justice, Simon Harris TD confirm that the recent Garda recruitment campaign attracted 4,973 applicants.

This compares to 11,075 applicants for the 2022 recruitment campaign."

i think some where around 400 were deemed acceptable to start training from that 5000

Again i ll reference the ever lowering standards resulting in increased washouts early leavers etc . as well as the under reported numbers leaving for better jobs or emigrating well above the actual 3 % reported

As for no further education do you count stuff like driving courses, firearms, first aid, scenes of crime, public order, search, child or specialist interview or other various courses necessary for prosecution of course such as intoxilyser and drager courses ? (none done in initial training or attracting any additional pay)

Lived in a fair few of them. You know what i noticed in all the tourist or city center areas. Lots of police. Ever been to one yourself. Event the center of London. very well policed, all the time. Dublin is not well policed.

Most people will make it home fine. One or two will probably be assaulted. Luck of the draw really.

having to recruit from abroad . like this you mean ?

Gardaí aim to entice Irish abroad to return home and join force in new €550k recruitment campaign | Independent.ie

Im posting links that directly contradict stuff you are saying , is that propaganda ??

They are not attracting suitable people in suitable numbers. that is the point I've clearly made 3 or 4 times already.

the vast majority of candidates already have degrees at least, or they used to , I know of at least two with two doctorates and a good few more with one.

The qualifications I listed are specific to policing i would have though that was obvious, and regardless of difficulty or recognition outside AGS are of no financial benefit.

30 years of shift work in a often physically demanding job and an ever increasing retirement age with a frankly offensive pension for new candidates does not draw the cream of the crop

It is the problem. Too many people on this thread are soft and scared. My post had nothing yo do with responding to scrotes because you'll rarely if ever have to deal with them. Not only that, it's clearly most people.kn this thread would shitbtheir pants if one scrotes even looked at then ffs. Embarrassing. In the last page of posts we've have one person say they are too afraid yo go Christmas shopping on Grafton and one needing a stab proof vest to go into DCC.

I'm sure there's lost of things you fantasise about.

I think the abuses committed in the juvenile detention centre system, physical and sexual abuse, has led to something of an over-correction in the balance of crime and punishment towards leniency.

We became reluctant to incarcerate teenagers but it wasn't foreseen that this would lead to teenage gangs acting violently with a sense of impunity.

I have some sympathy for politicians and judges because they are trying to thread a needle in a way. I would think though that now its on everyone's radar there might be some kind of action taken.

are women and the elderly really being targeted by "scrotes"? i haven't seen any reports of elderly or women being randomly attacked by feral youths in the news that I can think of

I wouldn't call someone in their 50s elderly no, I would imagine they'd be pretty offended

sigh away to your self lad it must be though hauling those goal posts all over the place

it was you claimed low pay, i asked how much it is worth .

you are preaching long and loud on a subject you know almost nothing apart from media shite and preconceptions

explain what exactly is bollox, you've been caught out again and again so its not clear this time ,

what exactly is it you want here ? you think there is a well trained and well motivated police force in Ireland ? do you think there should be one ? or just a cheap bargain basement effort that we do have

I think it ought raise a few red flags when 'liberal progressive' posters say things like "It was no different in 1970/1980/1990".

On what other issue would this be considered a valid defence? Women's rights, perhaps?

In truth, we are beholden to a large edifice of pseudo-knowledge - in this case the sociological explanation of crime which say that the criminals are themselves victims of economic circumstances, adverse psychology or even boredom.

It seems to me that liberals institutions mostly lack self-correcting feedback mechanisms. There is no obvious way to reverse mistakes - because the ideology that produced those mistakes must be defended at all costs and not subjected to critique.

Thus you have posters telling people that multiple stabbings are no big deal, stop being a big scaredy cat etc.

As opposed to people using horrible terminology about posters kids?

getting away with it ? lol

trying your best to make it personal on boards 😆😆😆

sure lad you were begging for some occasion to get out raged and feel hard done by ,

as I already said the attitude that you can do no wrong and are always in the right that is passed on to the little darlings is par of the problem.

if you want to take it as a personal attack feel free and report away but obviously it was a general attach on the attitude that sees no issue with groups hanging around places like temple bar. the headlines day after day prove what the issue with that is , you and one or two others choosing to ignore it is why this thread is still going

get all upset if you like but every one else here knows the reality 😉😉

Tell me what you think about my son?

Don't expect you to be honest.

I've done plenty wrong in my. I'm capable of admitting it. Now back to my son. It was malicious and I've gotten a lot of laughing emoji after not nice comments.

I've been honest as possible on this thread.

Now, how about you? Liberating.
