Does Korea currently carry out Death Sentences? I don’t remember any in the news over the passt few years.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-31107215

A South Korean soldier who shot dead five of his colleagues and injured seven others has been sentenced to death by a military court.

The sergeant opened fire in June 2014 at his post near the North Korean border and fled, sparking a manhunt.

He was captured two days later after he shot himself during a tense stand-off with troops.

It reignited debate on military culture in South Korea, where all males must do about two years military service.

Can Korea develop an all volunteer force to counter the 1.2 million “draftees” to the North? The ROK cadre I worked with were quite professional, while the draftees doing thier two years ranged from professionals to “needs adult supervision.”

I just knew that there had to be something wrong with the site.

The Drop never goes quiet for that long. Too many here who love to share opinions; myself included.

Welcome back, everyone.

Criminalization of everything, militarized cops, black lives matter, distrust both ways between cops and citizens, etc…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBUUO_VFYMs#t=102

This is an interesting video. In the end, the cop was wrong and the citizen was right… even polite and respectful.

But the question is… if you were the cop, what would (could) you have done differently?

There needs to be a public awareness campaign on standardized behaviors of how to deal with police. That would go a long way toward reducing conflict and friction.

When the cop pulls you over, don’t commit suicide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8
