Wall of Korean Riot Police Taegu picture - This picture starts to give you an idea of how many police there were. In the end I saw at least 120 riot police and they completely covered the front wall of the city hall, sometimes the row was two or three policemen thick. Several big police buses were parked around the corner and you knew when a new bus arrived because the police would yell out battle cries as they jogged to join the wall. Remember that there still werent any protestors around to hear them at this time.
