Garda in Ireland with guns???

Must have been the special operations unit. These thugs must have been terrorizing for a while.

these were from an ERU (Emergency Response Unit) that's well armed. Plain clothes cops regularly carry guns too. Most beat/traffic Gardai are unarmed.

"The human rights group, Amnesty International,"

These people couldn't give a shit about "Human Rights" unless it mentions whites.

Where were they in Rwanda, Cambodia, etc.

Amnesty International said it needed to be established that the garda officers had done everything possible to avoid shooting the men.

An armed man in the act of commiting a crime is a valid target.

Hey, AI what you gonna do? Call Ireland names? Like "gulag"?

Back in the late 70's when I was with the Sheriff's Office I went to visit the in-law's in Ireland, had a friend in the Garda and commented about them being unarmed. His buddy in Special Branch showed me what they had in the boot of their car. The first thing I noticed was the Uzi. If a Cowboy gets drunk overthere, those boys are ready.
