You asked what options an officer in a 'civilized country' would have at their disposal. If their department didn't have the soundness of mind to equip their officers with what is considered basic equipment in other countries that really isn't my problem

The usage of pepper/tazer/stun among the law enforcement…

Here's a few that the cops in my neck of the woods deploy; backup, pepper spray, tazer, stun gun.

Firearms are deadly force only, between the ricochet and the environment a couple of, quite literally, aimless rounds can cause more harm than good.

Okada should clean up his own backyard before he goes pooping in someone else'. With the amount of food scandals in Japan how can he make thise accusations at China?

But when is THAT going to be brought in to the picture, hmm?

Firstly, deadly force is only justified in the most extreme of cases, where an officer's life or the life of an innocent individual is in imminent danger

Three guys beating the crap out of ya certainly qualifies as "most extreme of cases" me thinks.

Now this is one subject which makes my blood boil. When I go to Tsutaya or 7-Eleven to buy my usual magazines, I have to negotiate a course around a bank of idiots using the magazine and book section as their local library. Why don't the convenience stores and bookstores…

not the same as a full-out, formal apology by the Imperial Government of Japan.
