the south korean police training for G20 summit

Well, it looks like the South Koreans have things well in hand if they encounter protesters from The Matrix or Inception, or ones hiding out under twenty marble tables at the end of a bar in a building that's painted like a flamboyant cheetah.

I wouldn't fuck with them!

I think they've been playing Starcraft too much. They're clearing preparing for a Zerg rush. ;)
 
Holy shit! Very impressive.

I just hope that they're not so pumped up on adrenaline and/or eager to show off their skills that they overreact.
 
As someone who has spent some time in South Korea (ROK.) I can tell you that the South Korean police have plenty of practice in extreme crowd control. They already have huge protest marches from college students, that are often violent.

Can someone here tell me, I've always wondered, why don't they (world leaders) hold these meeting on some nice sized island somewhere, or on a mountain top resort?

I mean there are (seemingly) always riots and vandalism and injuries.

The police , who have no part in deciding world policy, receive the brunt of the abuse.

Why in the middle of fair sized cities?

I have a pre-set limit so after wave after wave of men, i'm all fucked out. ;)

Ummm ... that is ... ummm ... wow.

That is a really good question.

Their critics already basically consider them like Bond villains, so holding their SPECTRE summit at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps or in Dr. Evil's secret volcanic island lair probably wouldn't help that image. ;)

Exactly. Besides, there's always Davos for that sort of shenanigans.

They have tried doing them in more isolated locations in the past (Gleneagles, for instance, or the place Berlusconi picked), but really, it's an entirely legitimate and useful meeting of world leaders so shouldn't be driven away from meeting in a city, just because of the extremist element in the protestors.

Yes, it really is actually.
