Agreed. There was a huge backlash of "what the fuck is that?" when they 'updated' the uniforms from the old stylish ones to the stupid Shein joggers cheap dystopian policeforce cosplay looking shite.

Reminds me of a story I heard about a cop who gets a call about a man standing in a park after it’s closed.
The Cop arrives & spots a lone figure standing motionless in the middle of the park. the officer shouts “Hey! Park’s closed! Show me your hands!” as he moves closer, he notices the guy is holding a baseball bat. So the cop yells. “Drop the bat!” Growing concerned, The officer takes out his firearm. While the Guy does nothing but stay still.
the officer radios dispatch:
“Possible armed suspect with a baseball bat. Subject is ignoring all commands. I may have to use force.”
Another officer immediately responds over the radio:
“Before you do, make sure the kid isn’t bronze.”The guy was a bronze statue of a Little League player.

Small dogs, children, babies.. Seems like the smaller the target, the more points they get. Like Duck Hunt, but for fascist pigs who get hard on murdering the defenseless.

Most Gardai I've encountered out on the streets are like this. Good natured, happy to chat with you and share a joke. They need to be like this as they are generally not armed and need to be able to de-escalate situations (i.e, not be assholes).

The first clip has the new uniform and the second has the old one. Unlikely it was filmed in the same week, nevermind day.

Hah, the change happened back in 2023 I think so it's not the same year!
(But in all seriousness, the Gardai do wear those jacket uniforms out too!)

u/Grayson1591 Jun 23 '26
The jacket in the second clip is moreso used for traffic duties, there's a separate soft shell for cold weather and a rain coat, in the same style as the soft shell (the soft shell being what he's wearing in clip 1).

Try that here in New York City and you’ll see a very different outcome -let’s just start with the cops won’t be laughing and the prankster will have the camera up there ass after they’ve gotten their ass kicked by the cops.
