Two NYPD officers are being accused of confronting a woman walking her dog, threatening to seize the animal, and failing to explain what law she’d broken.
As a law enforcement wife, I have ZERO tolerance for abuse of authority. What was the legal justification for this encounter?!
And where is NYPD leadership? I want answers, not excuses. 🇺🇸
They fool no one. The Fine Gael ard fheis was not the success they’d want you to believe
It was an absolute mess and PR disaster. Pushing the same person to the front to saw they’ve changed their ways couldn’t have backfired more spectacularly.
It was beyond staged and the problem for them is that every Irish person sees through it now.
You’ve lost the people Fine Gael. And you certainly won’t win them back by trying to champion those that are responsible for pushing them away in the first place
🚨🇺🇸 ATERRADOR: Dos policías musulmanes en Nueva York detuvieron a una mujer sin motivo aparente, más allá del hecho de que ella estaba paseando a su perro.
La acorralaron y amenazaron con confiscar a su perro. Al ser cuestionados, reaccionaron con enojo y no pudieron precisar qué ley había infringido ella.
Esto es lo que sucede cuando se le otorga poder a este tipo de personas. Solo puedo decir que ella tuvo suerte de que hubiera transeúntes cerca, porque eran las 3 de la madrugada y la situación podría haber terminado mucho peor.

Mary Dunne, fondly known as 'Dancing Mary', was a common yet curious sight on O'Connell Street for nearly 20 years. The lady from Dun Laoghaire was always immaculately dressed, with trademark skirt and high heels. I can still hear me Ma saying "her gear is gorgeous!".
Mary danced for hours in all weather, seemingly in religious ecstasy and with the energy of a woman half her age. She'd occasionally have an unofficial shrine to the Virgin Mary near the Anna Livia statue I saw a few times and she loved the Rosary.
When she wasn't lost in her trance for Jesus, she'd interact with the busy or bemused pedestrians that made up her audience. She'd also smile and wave if you caught her eye (always a bonus), with her rosary in one hand and sometimes a flower in the other, like a less insufferable Morrissey.
In the great tradition of Dublin "characters" Mary was rightly celebrated for her glorious individuality, dedication to Christ and a fading innocence, which could still be found when ordinary people in our city could be familiar to thousands.
Born Mary Margaret Dunne in 1927, she was a devout Catholic all her life, got married and had six kids. In the 1950s, she owned a hairdresser and was so successful that she was a contestant in the World Hairdressing Championships in Vienna! Her career eventually made her move to Switzerland in 1968 for a few years. Luckily for us, she returned home to Dublin and began the unique public celebration of her Catholic faith in the 1980s.
Such was Mary's cultural impact, a mini festival featuring music, poetry, and (of course) dancing was held in her honour on O’Connell Street in 2010. When reporters at the event asked Mary the million-dollar question "Why do you dance?" she answered, "for the Trinity and Holy Mary". Obviously!
I've read that as Mary was then 83 and was living with her son in Deansgrange, she couldn't attend in person.
Her legend always reminds me of that quote attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane, by those who couldn't hear the music."
Mary Dunne passed away peacefully in 2014, aged 87. She is buried in Deansgrange cemetery, but I suspect a part of her is still joyfully dancing in a place where the music never ends.
The FF, FG and Independent TD gov has blocked the Aontú motion to provide a full independent public inquiry into the circumstances of the murder of Garda Colm Horkan.
Its a dark day for Justice in Ireland.
This country has lost its mind and many of the people elected to run it need to have a serious awareness meeting with themselves.
I’m genuinely shocked that a party leader would object to the idea that NGOs should have to account for how they spend taxpayers’ money. Labour leader Ivana Bacik has written to Tánaiste Simon Harris calling on him to withdraw his recent remarks about the role of NGOs in Ireland. Surely public funding should come with proper accountability, whoever receives it?
I said it before and ill say it again. Ireland is Fucked and there is no way back unless I was running it.
🚨 THIS GOVERNMENT MUST GO! 🚨
Ordinary families are paying the price of their 'leadership':
🏠 17,885 people are living in emergency accommodation
⚡ Ireland has the highest electricity prices in the whole world
⛽ €45 of every €100 petrol fill goes to the government in tax
🔌 500,000 electricity and gas accounts are in arrears
🏥 Hospital waiting lists have topped 1 million
💸 Billions of taxpayers' money wasted every year, from €60m of electric buses left unused to €320,000 every school day on uneaten school meals
They have lost democratic legitimacy. The combined support of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael has shrunk to just 30%, the lowest ever. It's time for an election.

🌟It was November 1st in 1969, when a song entered the number 1 chart among the most listened to of that year and entered eternity. The person responsible had style, knew how to sing, dance like few in history. He was crowned King and on this day he spoke about Suspicious Minds.
This Government Must Go! They have lost democratic legitimacy.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have completely lost touch with the people on the ground, including their grassroots members, hopefully more people will realise how out of touch they are, great discussion this week on The Irish Question with @Nick_Delehanty@PaulTreyvaud and guest @ExCllrRedmond
