I'm afraid you're wrong. There are plenty of municipal agencies within the USA (and other countries)that have neighborhood sub-stations, officers performing foot & bicycle patrols, etc. Japan isn't the only place that stresses community policing. Its the Japanese public which is different. Japan is one of the few developed nations that still possess there traditional sense of values and honor. Instances of violence in Japan aren't just sporadic, they're virtually unheard of.
Holy Smokes this is like some Freestyle Alternate form of Kendo.. These guy stances are much wider the way they hold thier swords is less traditional, They lean thier bodys side to side.. I mean if you look at the matches in the back there is some guy who spends most of the match picking himself off the ground.. LOL I like this Agressive style alot more tho.
@ihaterobbie123 I was judging how rough and unelegant the first minute of the video was. I had no problem with the quality kendo of the rest. Perhaps you should read more carefully.
These guys are vicious. Refs only acknowledge a point if the strike is struck with a lot of force. In 2:02 one of the the participants was even kicked in the leg. He was swept by his opponent and then struck in the abdomen.
Yeah, you are wrong. I don't know what your source of information is, but Sacramento didn't adopt any Japanese policing model. Face it, community policing is not the reason why Japanese people behave the way they do. It's their culture. As I said before, japan is not the only place where the police have good community relations. You've yet to provide a reference of a yakuza drive-by shooting, so I'm guessing you know of none.
Anytime a murder occurs in Japan, it makes national news. In the U.S. you're lucky if the LOCAL news station even mentions it. Pick any large city in in states, and it alone will have have a higher murder rate than the entire nation of Japan. To say that the Japanese police are capable of handling the level of violence American cops do is complete naivety on your part. Yakuza drive by shootings!? Give me a break! Cite one that happened in the last five years. Guns are EXTREMELY rare in japan.
Yeah, and how often are they called out? Once every blue fucking moon. Hell, one was the last time a cop was killed in japan? On average their is only like one officer involved shooting per year over there. Japan is the safest place on Earth, period. Even the Yakuza are pathetic excuses for criminals. They donate to charity more than they actually commit crimes.
