I fear some senior republican will pay for this with their life like Michael Collins, History repeats its self..
Is that a joke? It isnt a choice to support the police as a political party. If they were just a group against the police that would be fine, but as a political party they have responsibility.
glad to see they are becoming more democratic though.

Considering that the police here have been considered a Protestant police force for a protestant people it is a Major mile stone
PSNI trust
The PSNI needs to make strenuous efforts to earn the trust and confidence of nationalists and republicans.
Gardai corruption and malpractice - which has been exposed in the Morris Tribunal and the Abbeylara inquiry in the 26 counties - shows the need for constant vigilance and oversight.
These inquiries and the ill-treatment of republicans by the Garda Special Branch also provide compelling reasons as to why the responsibility of political parties and representatives should be to hold the police to account in a fair and publicly transparent way.
This ard fheis is totally opposed to political, sectarian and repressive policing.
The experience of nationalists and republicans in the six counties is of a partisan, unionist militia which engaged in harassment, torture, assassination, shoot-to-kill and collusion with death squads.
The Good Friday Agreement requires and defines "a new beginning to policing" as an essential element of the peace process.
The Good Friday Agreement also requires functioning, power-sharing and all-Ireland political institutions.
The British government has agreed to the transfer of powers on policing and justice away from Westminster to locally-elected political institutions and have set out the departmental model to which these powers will be transferred.
In these circumstances authority over policing and justice will lie in Ireland...
It can only be progress for the good surely ??
Fair enough then, however i think this whole religious catholic and protestant thing is stupid, its exactly they same as the crap going on in Iraq.
me too, however there are plenty of people in the world prepared to kill over it, that being said and done it also has to do with the British state as well, it's not just along sectarian lines, it's important to remember that also..Vilham wrote:
