KASUKABE, Saitama Prefecture--Three 14-year-old girls were arrested here after they allegedly assaulted a pair of police officers who had admonished them for riding double on their bicycles.

The melee erupted when a police sergeant, 44, stopped two junior high school girls on a bike around 5:10 p.m. Saturday. One of the girls shoved the officer and said, "The cops can't do anything." Her friend then kicked him in the leg, police said.

A second officer was preparing to take the juveniles to a police station when another pair of girls, also riding double, rode up. One of the new arrivals cursed the policeman and spit in his face. The alleged assailant was also arrested.(IHT/Asahi: April 15,2008)

will they be charged as juveniles?

Chances are they'll be returned to their parents and nothing will happen. Maybe a suspension from school.

I'd be interested to know what they were thinking.

"Boy, this paint thinner is really making me high."

Seriously, though. Cops, especially in more suburban areas aren't that highly respected. I wouldn't imagine messing with a cop in the US, but in all my experience with the police in Japan they are weak, skrawny old men is poor-fitting uniforms who are amazingly helpful in helping you find your way around the neighborhood, but are complete pussycats at any kind of physical confrontation, especially if it is even odds.

I watched three police officers, with guns and sticks, call the riot police on two drunk hooligans in Kobe because the three police officers were too afraid to arrest them on their own. Pretty pathetic.

Yeah... Sad. I mean, I love how much they help people with directions and such, and they try their hardest, but still... They do need to toughen up.... I suggest a harder, more physically challenging, police training course.

I got love for the police of Japan still though.

as someone who lives by virtues im kinda disappointed in kids these days, but as a mexican im clapping on the inside. but still its japan. its a good thing it didnt get any worse than the current situation.

Things like that arent uncommon where I live. :/


Poor policemen. xD

uh, those girls are pretty random. >.>

yup. kinda reminds me of the video where those eight girls beat up that one chick. i dont like to cuss, but what a couple of bitches.
