Students and Grannies and Monks -- Oh, My!

The Korean police have been playing rough again, trying to disperse some of the crowds that are settled in for a 72-hour marathon vigil to complete their month of protests against President Lee Myeong-bak’s trade policies. (Photo, again, from OhMyNews.) This seems stupid to me. The vigils are going to end in a day or two – why would the police want to make more trouble for themselves?
