I’m sorry they lost their family member but the gardai were doing their job and protecting them. I understand grief can be hard but they have been very unfair on the gardai here. It looks like no matter what the gardai did the family would have blamed them rather than seeing the situation for what it was.

The right decision.
>Nkencho’s family were frustrated at how long it was taking to hold the inquest
Wasn’t the inquest delayed as a result of the family appealing the DPP decision?
Hello mr government please give us money for our little angel who we were so afraid of we had a protection order against, who violently attacked multiple people and Gardai tried to peacefully arrest him for a significant amount of time only shooting him when he started to lunge at them.
did the family not see the video?
Who would be a guard these days. Do your job. Risk your life to protect people. Get prosecuted.
I am so glad the phone camera footage exists. This whole case would have been a far far difficult thing if it never existed.
Good, now fuck off.
No expectation a prosecution would result a sentence*, it would just be another no fault ruling but in however many years it takes the prosecution to run its course.
Can someone give me the tldr?
But what about a second appeal?
What a headline. “Fail in an appeal against decision not to prosecute” is way too many negatives to easily parse.
I know it was tragic that a young man lost his life, that’s never a good thing. This however was such a clearcut case along with video evidence that it should never have dragged on this much.
There has been failure here along the way but mainly the failure to get the guy proper treatment and probably failure that he wasn’t in care and on the streets when this was occurred. None of that is the fault of Gardai.
Good, would have been a fucking disgrace if that Garda was prosecuted.
The worst were all the dopes wanting to have our very own George Floyd, saying nonsense like the guards should have shot him in the leg
If this hadn’t happened so soon after George Floyd, it would have been a blip on the news and likely forgotten soon after it happened.
It’s unfortunate that he died, but the family really tried to raise the biggest stink they could over something utterly open and shut.
Common sense prevails for once
While I agree with the decision I do find it mad that the 20 or so guards were incapable of safely subduing the man. Like there really should be something between taser/pepper spray and shooting dead. 6 shots also seems like a lot. They had him in the garden for like an hour.
E.g.
* Wrap him up in a large net, like they did to the Dad in Into the West.
* Riot guards in full riot gear charge him with their shields.
* A barrage of plastic bullets.
* Non-lethal shotgun spray – buckshot
Based on what was reported at the time it sounded like the guardai did everything they could short of allowing a person to get stabbed to take him down.
It’s a sad event and we shouldn’t allow it to repeat itself but based on the video and the reports afterwards the decision to shoot was the lesser of a lot of potential bad choices, there were no good choices available unless we are advocating for guardai to engage in a melee with an armed attacker.
