They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.
Actually, the DΓ‘il bike shed didn't represent a waste of money. Debate me, bro.

This clip has been circulating a lot and look I don't want to be critical, it's great that it's inspiring people.
BUT. There is one thing he says that's inaccurate and it's important that people understand the reality.
He says that their trade union didn't support them. That's not true.

This is a key point: evangelicals in the US are not villains in this piece because their religious commitments tie them into the brutality. They are particularly tragic because they've abandoned their religious commitments to participate in the brutality.

When the trip is less than 5km, why don't you cycle? Why aren't you in the library every week? Before you go to sleep, do a little Examen every night. Spend time with children.

If they do this to the world's most renowned activist, what do they do to people we will never hear of? The EU must cut all ties with the government who orchestrates this depravity.

I feel the need to reassure my American friends that there is simply nothing normal about this. It's brutal. If an Irish officer ever approached someone like this, the scandal would be so great, the Minister for Justice would basically resign. Our cops don't even normally have guns.
