      Kept locked in the car, sure.

      On the way to a call about someone with a knife, take it with them.

      Yes.Have to give a chance for example female Garda to use necessary force, when there is no other way.

      No! It’s Ireland – we should arm them with marshmallows and ensure they can be heavily sued if they use them. That’s how we do things here.

      Yes. Anyone opposed to this is an idiot with their head in the sand. It’s that simple

      No, wouldn’t trust the cunts with peashooters. Too many head cases in the Gardai

      They struggle to conduct a simple drugs search legally, how can they be trusted to a teaser within the law.

      Before Gardai are issued with more non lethal weapons, they should be forced to cooperate immediately with Fiosru (formerly GSOC), and be subject to criminal proceedings for obstruction if they don’t.
      Likewise with the farce of roads policing, where many simply refuse to do the job and are unmanageable.

      Yes, as long as the right training in deescalation and usage is given first. Garda training quality is pretty bad compared to other European police services.

      This was found in an assessment done by an independent organisation.

      We also have one of the lowest police officer per capita rate in Europe, its madness that they are not all already equipped with tasers and body cameras.

      In my local area they got tasers, they saw my friend walking home, they put him in the back of the car and brought him to the middle of nowhere, and then they tasered him because they wanted to see them work.

      Hold on a second r/ireland keeps telling me Ireland is a safe country and becoming safer every year. Why would gaurds need tazers?

    17. TheStoicNihilist on

      Yes! I would love some “skanger meets tazer” videos.

      I wouldn’t be mad on the idea. I don’t see any reason for the Garda to be more armed than they currently are. And should there ever be a credible threat them, then that would be the time to further armament. Fully agree with other comments, if it were to come to pass it should be the case that no taser is discharged without adjoining body cam footage being taken. 

      Beyond that, John Oliver did a section about this topic a few months ago and it’s worth a few minutes of your time.

      To anyone with a heart condition or various other medical conditions that might not be immediately apparent tasers are a lethal weapon that can very easily kill on the spot.

      They should be considered a firearm akin to a pistol and require the same training and strict regulation on how and when they are used.
      They aren’t “safe” to deploy like in the movies and should be treated the same as guns.
