It's true that J-cops are often clowns but there's no suggestion as yet that they are being one on this occasion. He's obviously a suspect to one degree or another, and arresting him is perfectly legitimate if there is a possibility that he may destroy evidence or go on…

lamborgini, yomiuri, and dreamdrifter. Please visit a few fish and chip shops and see what is going on.

@DeepAir65 - it's an attempt to get media focus in order to get more tourists i.e. possibly a good return for the city on tax money spent. Also I wonder how much other work a Mayor of Kushiro could possibly have..

Japan will never win the war that it lost due to the stupidity of its leaders, including HIrohito. That's the truth; and all the chanting, burnt incense, praying and lying cannot change it.
