more from the Department of Pointless Surveys

[waider]

Survey finds that young people do not trust the Gardaí (that's the Irish police). Well, duh. Aside from this being, as best I can tell, a pretty standard attitude the world over, there's also the minor consideration of the Gardaí who were videotaped beating the crap out of May Day protestors, having first removed their identification tags; despite said video being broadcast on national television, there were no repercussions worth talking about among the responsible Gardaí. In fact, at the inquiry into the incident, none of the Gardaí present saw anything of the events that were taped and broadcast. Or so they said, anyway.
