3 School Girls Attack Police Officers
 
http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-...804150067.html

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.

What I don't understand is why they'd get so upity about the officer telling them not to double up on the bikes. :confused: Why get so mad? Why spit in their face? Seems kinda pointless. "Let's risk getting in trouble over nothing!" "Yeah, that sounds like a fabulous idea!"

Huffing makes you do stupid things.

Not like the Japanese popo do anything, ever. They're a joke. Most teens know it.

Korean police are very much the same. Ill-fitting uniforms, no discipline... They carry night sticks here, but no guns. After living in Dallas and Atlanta, the Korean police don't frighten me at all. On that front, I also don't believe they have the means to protect me either.

How they manage to do anything if faced with hardened criminals is a mystery to me.

Aota 04-20-2008 03:18 AM

Don't they just call the riot police? Also, I think it's the teenage stupidity of "Hey, I can get away with this, with at most a slap on the wrist, so I'm gonna do it, and to hell with the cosequences! Party hardy!" =_=

Oh my gosh, random but, they have so much rape over in Japan.... @_@

Pretty much they weren't thinking. If you were a cop would you call the riot police on four teenage girls? I have seen it done for a couple drunk guys, though...

A little too random. What would make you say something like that?

Jaydelart 04-20-2008 09:54 PM

I wasn't able to properly read the article, so I'm not familiar with all the details of the event. However, hypothetically speaking, if a desperate man attempted to do something stupid to a couple of schoolgirls, it would be convenient to know that the offices would back him up if anything went wrong.

Just a thought.
