She was going under the bus to get into a restricted area, there were hundreds of people trying to do the same thing, the police had the job of stopping all people from getting into the restriced area. For anyone one who has been in a tough spot when you could be in physical danger you know that things happen fast. The cop saw someone coming under the bus, he stomped on their head to ensure that they didn't come into the restricted area. It didn't matter if it was a man or a woman. The fact is that someone was coming into an area that they weren't supposed to be in order to participate in a violent protest. Everyone going past those busses should have known they were going somewhere they shouldn't be and that it could be dangerous. If they didn't know they leaders of the protest are to blame for not informing their followers of what was going to happen. The cop was doing his job as were all the other police. He probably didn't even register that he stomped on a female. He was keeping protestors away from the blue house as best as he could.

In the video I saw, she wasn't crawling under the bus to enter a restricted area.....she got knocked down, THEN the policeman kicked her head a few times, and then she crawled under the bus for safety.

That policeman has been suspended and the police are going to apologize to her and her family.

Alright Scottanus. You should get a girfriend instead of sitting in front of a computer trying to berate people. You must have a lot of time on your hands. Rigteous indignation my ass. You can suck a fat one.

To the people that are saying it was a 'heat of the moment' thing, don't you find it interesting that a cop was in control enough to realise there was someone with a camera recording that specific action & ask them to turn it off? I think that negates the poor innocent threatened cop-on the defensive theory.

She crawled under the bus for safety. That's obvious. I am angry that the news was reporting she had brain damage. What a load of crap. From that? It was hardly even a kick!

A student of mine told me some Koreans are saying the online media is out-of-control posting outright lies in an attempt to influence opinion. They claim that president Noh removed gov't restrictions/controls on websites, and now they're free to print whatever lies they can think up.

In any case, JungnoGuru, I don't disagree with you when you say that the people at groundzero weren't likely there by accident. I was speaking in general terms about people going to these rallys.

What I dont understand is why the police need to be assualting these people water cannons. I had the misfortune of getting swept up in one of the protests last week on my way back from Kyobo (my fault-- next a I see a large group Ill avoid the urge to "check it out"). Regardless it didnt seem that bad. They werent being violent, just obnoxious. From what Im reading the protesters arent the ones getting out of hand, its the cops. Why cant these people just assemble in front of the embassy or whever they want and yell and scream till they're blue in the face? Beating the shit out of them for no real reason, is not only contrary to the principles of free speech--- it motivates them all the more.

I hope that dumb broad had decent health insurance!

Perhaps the question "do you attend riots?" should be on these idiots' insurance applications to determine their premiums!
