Yea, I'm sure he did.... Even though he had little chance of a fair trial, he would have probably ended up getting 5 years, "NOT-Suspended," because he wasn't a Japanese citizen.

Let me be the first to congratulate the JCops! (Or let this be the first time I've ever had anything good to say about the JCops) And I sincerely mean it... Bravo Zulu JCops!

Man, you are so lucky!!!
I wish I could run into a car load of scum bags like that at 6:30 in the morning! You are soooo lucky! I would pay good money for that kind of opportunity... Usually they just bow their head's after I turn around and run after them.... Only one time, did I have to back off, after about 15 or 20, came out from around the corner, I almost followed them into the elevator, but my there were just too many of them, and my ASP is only the 16-inch model.... Real Bummer....
Never take crap from a bunch of 2-bit punks...Keep your whits about you, and always be ready!

Unbelievable....!
WTF...?
How about calling the police the very instant a man gets punched in your restaurant...?
This Restaurant owner should be held liable! It happened in his his restaurant and he had a responsibility to at least call the cops, the very instant this elderly man was assaulted!

Gee... I feel so safe the J-Clown-Cops are on the job!
Now time to go back to back to cracking down on Illegal Bicycle parking! Hear, no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.... Oh, there's an illegally parked bicycle!
Here's a novel idea... Instead of going back to doing nothing but harassing obasan's and salary-men on bicycle's, How about obtaining search warrants for every single member of this Inagawa-kai gang...? Maybe turn up some illegal guns...? Or are illegally parked bicycles more of a threat to public safety...?
Me thinks the J-Clown-Cops are worthless and they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

This is crazy... What-ever...
There's an old proverb, "Never argue with a fool." And you've certainly proved why that's so true, Thank You!
And only by the grace of god, no body was injured, killed or maimed by these idiots discharging firearms into the air, in a residential area. Thank God no one was injured, except maybe the pride of these very poorly-trained J-Clown-Cops.

Here we go.... And this is the big crime this week...
Let's forget all about catching murders, we have to focus all our resources on tracking down this one guy who illegally disposed of trash...
And you wonder why these cops are so screwed up....

Firing warning shots, are only done in war zones and third world countries... Period...
Thank you, you just proved my point, the only countries that still use warning shots are those in war zones AND THIRD-WORLD countries...

Very Good post and very factual! These people who are backing these J-Clown-Cops, have no idea just what in the hell they are talking about...
Maybe 20 years ago in the Bronx, but as mnemosyne23 so eloquently stated, you just can't go around shooting people, and You certainly Cannot just shoot someone running away. Most people that get shot by cops, are those that reaching around inside their pockets or in their car, in which case the Officer has cause because he has no idea, if they are going to pull a gun...
And Finally to this NigelBoy...
It's obvious that you have not a clue, what you talking about... These bullets, especially hand gun calibre, even when they strike a solid object, don't usually come to a complete stop.
That's why if you fire a hand gun in a an apartment complex, the bullet, will not only go through the person (unless it strikes bone), it will continue on and through the wall of the first, and then the next wall, and maybe even a third or forth wall..
Firing warning shots, is only done in war zones and third world countries... Period...
And only police, lacking complete common-sense and or proper training, respond to a 20 person brawl, with two cops on bicycles.... Ridiculous......
And I would even go as far again and say that if that cop two years ago in Akihabara had been properly trained, would have shot that kid as soon as he brandished the knife.... Those of you that aren't familiar, this cop received a NON-Life threatening stab wound, but then this kid went on stab and kill 4 more people... Because this cop didn't respond with lethal force when it was not only appropriate, but necessary, hence 4 more people died... Good fricken job.... I'm surprised they even called the cops... Unfortunately this kid stopped stabbing people when he got tired, Not because of anything the police did....

Not if they are properly trained, as which is the case in most in Civilized countries... The point being, police departments around the world, have long since abandoned the practice of firing warning shots...
Why...? Because it's just too dangerous.... And the likely hood that someone will eventually be struck by that projectile is just too great... Oh, sure, just fire off a couple warning shots straight into the sky... no harm right...? Well those of you that know a little bit about physics, should know that these bullets, just don't disappear into thin air...
They are going to land with a great amount of force, and if someone is struck in the head by one of these falling bullets, fired by a brainless, corrupt and pedophile J-Cop, they will die.....

No, they do.... Stupidity knows no race boundaries... Last spring in front of Roppongi Hills with hundreds of innocent, and potential helpless victims walking by, that could have been struck by his brainless shots.
This is another point in question, normal police departments (once again in "Civilized" Countries) have policies to protect officers, they normally don't rush into brake-up fights involving 20 people, if there are only two of them....
(It's also called "Common-Sense")

Isn't that the truth....! You have to remember, you cannot use traditional logic and common-sense to argue with these people, it's more like arguing with your 7 year old...
I am surprised I haven't seen any of those same blabbering idiots.

And what planet do you come from...?
Naughty....?
It's a fricken crime! There's no Grey area about it... When you start taking pictures up women's, school-girl's dresses, skirts, in their bra, IT's NOT NAUGHTY... IT'S A CRIME!!!
I haven't kept up with the latest stupid JN laws, which make it a crime to take a picture with your cell phone on the train of people, Not talking up someone's skirt... Yes, this is a crime, with the same legal consequences as this fricken pervert - pedophile cop!
Now that's a country with some screwed up priorities!
But it's some-how scene as "Naughty" to take a picture up a woman's skirt in Japan... "Oh Japanese oyaji boys will be oyaji boys - You Naughty Japanese Oyaji boys stop taking those up-skirt photos!"
You needn't say another word... You just explained the average mentality of the Japanese man.... It sits somewhere between 7 and 10 years of age...
Macarthur wasn't far off!

prefectural nuisance prevention ordinance
Anyone know if this is the same law that basically makes it a crime to take a picture (any picture) in public, train, bus, walking down the street etc...?
It's one thing, if this law is specific enough to target perverts, but it's quite another to make a blanket policy to keep anyone from taking pictures...
A few months ago, on one of the train lines, a middle-aged oyaji was arrested for taking a picture of a girl seated across from him, with his cell phone, NOT an up-skirt or obscene photo, just a picture of a girl seated across from him...
Stupid shit....
I'd love to see them try to arrest a SOFA sponsored person for taking a "NON-OBSCENE" picture in public, The base commander would tell the JN Cops to go screw themselves...
Yes, common-sense does matter!

Oh... They do...! But you'll never ever read about this in the JN news. That's why the FBI / JN Police estimated that as much as 90% of normal businesses in Japan, have been not only infiltrated, but are under the control of organized crime. You can Google these stats.
I can't imagine who this guy is defending these cops... Not only are they incompetent, they're corrupt!
Is it the pay...? I can't imagine why these guys are so incorrigible, if not blatantly corrupt and incompetent!
In the U.S. (and most other civilized countries) they do background checks on all potential law enforcement personnel, sure they can't eliminate all the bad apples, but they do a pretty good job.

I'm sure China would love to make good on some of those types of arrangements.... He'll they could set up some sweat shops in the locations of the U.S. bases, bypass customs altogether, and deliver their products directly into the JN economy for 2 cents on the dollar.

I don't see what the big deal is... They want to get rid of the Marines... Fine, they should just move them to Guam, and say screw it... Then let the people of Okinawa, find out that they probably should be careful what they wish for... Because it just might happen...
There are probably 3 Japanese National jobs, that go along with every 1 Marine on that Island....

I agree with just about everything you said here, aside from visiting the actual sites or the memorials... If he visits the cities and makes a couple visits to the Universities or local Better Business Bureau's and makes a couple speeches, I think would be fine...
But nothing more than that...
You see the Japanese of today, really truly do not know what happened 60 years ago, as far as most school kids today know (and have been taught in schools), they believe that Japan was a peace loving nation, and all of a sudden, "The Great Satan" just started dropping bombs...
I've even heard that some people really have no idea which happened first, Perl harbor or Hiroshima.... While I don't necessarily agree that Perl Harbor was 100% Japan's fault (I fault U.S. military leaders at the time for being so unprepared more that anything), nor was it their greatest evil against the U.S. and certainly not Asia or even humanity for that matter.
If he goes to Hiroshima or Nagasaki, he should stay well clear of the Memorials, at least until the JN Gov't incorporates the slave immigrant monuments into the same area, thus giving them at least equal status... They go to such great lengths to lower the status of the non-JN's who died there...
They were forced into slavery from other countries into Japan, against their will, and died as a direct result of Japan's war or aggression, they deserve much better than a tiny little placard / monument hidden behind some toilets, which requires a GPS to even find...
