Sickening behaviour

WHATEVER the rights and wrongs of the Rossport/Shell controversy, it is disgusting to see gardaí baton citizens and violently manhandle them for the convenience of an extremely controversial multinational company.

I saw gardaí on the RTÉ news (November 10) break the windows of an elderly woman’s car and drag her from it with unnecessary force; they picked up a man and threw him over a barrier and then baton-charged a crowd.

This was sickening and must disturb any reasonably minded person.
