British police killed hundreds of people in Ireland in the 20th century.

Google "Bloody Sunday 1920" for starters then go on to Black and Tans and Auxiliary Divisions of the RIC.

That's before we get to B Specials and using .30 calibre browning machine guns for riot control in the 1960's and "shoot to kill" and collusion from the 1970's to the 1990's.

But then Irish people don't count as far as the British are concerned.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
