Still trying to find the backstory to this.
When he heads for the plane you can hear 'em going:
"Not our flight, not our flight"
Fun at the Cork airport in Ireland

In situations like this, yes, he got away with it without being shot. However, there are some Garda units that are heavily armed and have shot people when threatened. The regular Army can also be deployed as needed for security details and they too have shot people (IRA usually).

Come on people, you know you've wanted to run from the cops at least once.
Subtract all of the "aiming for personal" and "hitting cars" and you have one hell of a fun joyride. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I would have had SO much fun. I was really annoyed that the door was open at first though. I kept thinking "Why doesn't he close it?" And "there's a passenger in that thing?". Then I realized it's RHD. :laugh:

Should have been shot in the head after the first attempt at hitting the police officers.

Heard about this on the news this week, it was kinda overshadowed by the Obamas visit.
A couple of points:
Gardaí are trained not to pursue, in fact they are trained never to pursue unless it's absolutely essential, the risk to the public is seen as being greater. We've had a few cases go before the police Ombudsman where a Garda was deemed partly liable when the chase ended with a crash.
Regular Gardaí are not armed, we have the ARU for that. (The Volvo wagon that's first on the scene at around 5:20 is an ARU vehicle). The unmarked Mondeos that arrive are plain clothes detectives, probably armed as well. Before that it's the Airport rentacops that are trying to avoid being killed.
That video would probably have been a lot shorter, but for the fact that half the force were in Dublin for the presidential visit.

YES x infinity! Haha that was hilariously entertaining. I think they dealt fairly well with the security threat of a naked man driving a fire vehicle in circles. BUT if I was in the big fire truck, I would've sprayed that guy down good and blasted the insanity out of him with pure water.
