Why the focus on women?

Sorry to be so picky - just have this resentment towards this conception that violence towards women is somehow worse than when the same violence is applied to men.

This kind of state brutality is abhorrent wherever it happens and to whoever it happens to. I don't believe there should be any distinction as to whether this violence is perpetrated towards men or women.

I neither feel that any of the violence I have received from cops has been worse than that received by my male counterparts, nor do I believe the effects have been any more adverse.

Whilst I realise that this may not be true for all women, I still believe that these are the kind of gender stereotypes that we should really be trying to break down.

Annoying feminist


cross border cooperation

them pigs look very familiar, they look like special branch ruc/pigsni in action, is this another example of cross border cooperation or sharing pig tactics, where gormless gardai goons come up to the black north, to learn and train under the influence and instruction of RUC/PSNI trainer Johnathan McIvor. Well at least if the gardai are beating women in the streets it may have saved some hapless dana clone gardai wife from her usual nightly beating.

Horrible!

This footage makes horrible watching. It reminds me of a scene from the Indymedia video of the horrific police violence in Genoa last year.

Here it's a different country but the same scene, people on the floor against a wall surrounded by cops all swinging their batons giving the people a severe beating - it's disgusting.

The irish police always seem to be very violent and aggressive against the reclaim the streets parties which are so damn fluffy.

Best wishes to you irish folks :)

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

WELL, HERE`S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!!!
YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS MATERIAL WIYH YOU AND SHOW IT TO THE COPS THAT WERE BEATING YOU!
TAKE THIS MATERIAL WITH YOU AND GO TO THE POLICE.
YOU HAVE TO PUT THOSE ASSHOLES IN ORDER!
I`M NOT LIVING IN THAT WHERE ALL THIS HAPPENED BUT
IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEATING ME LIKE THIS
I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME HE WOULD EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ME!
IN FACT IF SOME ASSHOLE COP WOULD EVER DARE TO BEAT ME
I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD NAIL HIM.
REVENGE! GO AND BURN DOWN POLICECARS GO AND BURN DOWN THE POLICESTATION!
WE HAVE TO STOP THIS VIOLENCE!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
BEAT THE COPS WHILE THEY ARE BEATING YOU! TAKE SOME NAILS
WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEMOS AND STICK SOME OF THEM IN TO THOSE ASSHOLES EYES ;)

THEY JUST HAPPENED TO BE WOMEN

I Was not focusing on Women. The people getting beaten up in this video just happen to be women.
Violence against anyone is horrible, but its even more sickining when its the Strong picking on the Weak.
