irish police, road deaths, and assaults on motorists at the side of the road

Irish police (styling themselves An Garda Siochana) are claiming to have brought down the number of road deaths in Ireland over the past year.
During this period the Irish police force have subjected motorists to high aggression style harassment and intimidation and assaults.
The preponderance of this behaviour by Irish police officers has been directed at ordinary citizens going about their lawful business.
To justify this thuggery, the Irish police force is now publishing figures which the police claim show a decline in road deaths year on year by a figure of thirty mortalities.
Thirty less people dead.
Therefore the cops think their institutionalised thuggery is justified.
The Irish police have replaced the internationally accepted code of law enforcement To Protect And Serve with a new motto of their own, To Harass And Intimidate.
And the statistics they are publishing to justify their own criminal assaults on members of the general public are utterly and completely false.
Here is the news.
There has been no decline in the number of road deaths in the Republic of Ireland.
Road deaths in this country are increasing.
Over the past year several hundred thousand foreign nationals have left Ireland.
Several hundred thousand foreign nationals left Ireland over the past year because they could no longer find work here.
The departure of this several hundred thousand foreign nationals over the past year meant several hundred thousand fewer people on the roads and therefore several million, (yes million because they all used the roads more than once a year believe it or not Garda Hardman), several million, I say, fewer road journeys.
The decline in road deaths of thirty people actually amounts to a statistical increase in the number of road deaths as a percentage of the number of people using the roads.
So the Gardai have terrorised the general public with no net positive result.
I say more.
The road death statistics are collated by the Guards themselves and are not to be trusted for that very reason.
To be quite clear.
The road death statistics false as they are for the reasons I've stated above relating to the decline of several million in the number of road users, are further not to be trusted as evidenced by inconsistencies in similar tabulations collated by the police themselves in the recent past such as the DEATHS IN GARDA CUSTODY statistics.
These statisics exhibit what we might call signs of creative accounting.
Hoo boy.
People die and they ain't in the statistics.
It's as though they never existed.
I say more.
While the Guards are making false claims about bringing down the number of road deaths, while police officers have been terrorising ordinary motorists at the side of the road, while semi literate porcine faced cops have been inflicting their inferiority complex on the citizens they are sworn to protect, while all this has been going on, there has been an explosion in violent crime, crimes against the person, murder, stabbings, rape, child abuse, prostitution, drug dealing, Al Qaeda activities, rackateering, arson, people trafficking and young scruff in Naas throwing snowballs at my car.
No sign of Garda Hardman when any of this is happening.
He was probably on his break.
Or out buying doughnuts.
Or busy terrorising someone at the side of the road with a broken light on their car.
Crime gangs have taken over Limerick and Dublin.
Those crime gangs are able to project power with impunity into every small town in Ireland.
And the Guards are prancing and preening with delight over their false road death figures?
I say enough.
