Seoul Police

While wandering around Seoul, I came across this cop on rollerblades. This was the first time I've ever seen a cop on blades before so I took a picture. Although he looks a lot more hip than most cops, I don't really see how the blades would be practical if he actually had to chase someone - all the guy would have to do would be to go off road. Anyways, I assume it's more for the PR. Kids probably see him and think that maybe cops are cool after all.
