To protect and to serve?
In Canada, I saw it is written “To Protect and to serve” on the police cars. Yes, they do. Most officers I met were very kind and they really tried to help me much. I thank them and I respect them.
In Corea, it is quite different.
The Corean police were the descendant of pro-japanese who persecuted the good people to serve Japanese. That is to say, they are like the some french people who helped the Germans in World War II.
In Corea, the pro-japs became the leaders and high social class members after the World War II. Can you believe that?
And because the police were made to protect and to serve the Japanese in Korea at the times of colony, they are very good at that - serving and protecting the power and the rich. And they are also very good at persecuting the people and the needed.
In Canada, I found that many people respect the police (officers) but in Corea, most of them hates and despise them. They say that the police are disgusting. Why is that? Because the police have made themselves disgusting since the time of colony.
But in the times of President DJ Kim and President MH Rho, they kept the police persecuting the people and they ordered them to serve the people.
Now, MB Lee became the president who was born at Japan, he again let the police their original job.
With the issue of beef importation from US, many people made several peaceful demonstration with candle light. Many young students attended there. And MB Lee, being the president of a country, commanded the police to arrest the young students and punish them.
So the policemen went to the school and took the student from the classroom.
The f**king Corean Police will serve and protect only the power and the rich forever, and they will persecute the people - the powerless and the needed. Because they were made for that. Damn!
