Human Rights Committee Wants Less Riot Police at Korea THAAD Site

The easiest way to get less riot police at the THAAD site is for the protesters to assemble and protest in an area that is not blocking a public road that leads to the THAAD site:

A human rights committee under the National Police Agency (NPA) has recommended the law enforcement authorities to reduce the number of riot police deployed to a U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile base in the southeastern county of Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province.

“As the current number of riot police there can lead to a violation of the protesters’ freedom of assembly and demonstration, the authorities should actively take necessary measures,” the committee said during a regular meeting held late September.

The NPA committee consists of 13 members ― 12 external members and one police officer from the audit and inspection division. 

The committee further asked the authorities to submit additional data, based on which it can judge whether the police are guaranteeing the protesters’ freedom of assembly and demonstration.

“HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE WANTS LESS RIOT POLICE AT KOREA THAAD SITE”

A real human rights group would demand FEWER riot police. Sounds like they are a front for some kind of fascism…

…though obviously not grammar Nazism.

And why are they always picking on Les?!?!? I don’t think Les’ Police are going to calm down the Pro-Beijing crowd at all…

I mean, granted they’re not going to mow down the protestors with a hail of lead; but they do tend to go overboard with boas and glitter…

Less police = more mayhem. Perhaps the boys at the THAAD site need live ammo oh and actual access to their assigned weapons.
