Mad cow disease aroused keen public controversy in Korea. It gets worse and demonstrations became violent as time goes by. I agree that mad cow disease is a big problem since Koreans eat all the parts of cow even bones. 

However, I’m really worrying about the demonstrations that held almost everyday at Gwanghwamun because many people get hurts. The center of the demonstration is combat policemen who are called into the army. They are abused since they treat people severly. Media also report that combat policemen how suppressed disarmed people who took a part in the demonstrations.  

   My brother spend two years as a combat policeman, so I could understand the way the policemen treat people. I’m not telling you what combat policemen did was good, I’m telling you that we should take another aspect of view. Media try to stress their cruelty no matter what happened. Half of the injured who reported through media are combat policemen and they also feel threat since they can’t suppress people without an order from above. Some of them usually deadly hurted from the people who demonstrate.

   I wouldn’t know either if my brother wasn’t there. I agree that the combat policemen are sometimes severe, but I want people to feel sympathy what they are doing.
