OSAKA —

A 28-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday for attempted murder and obstructing police in the line of duty, after the Osaka District Public Prosecutors’ Office decided earlier in the day not to charge him for the time being on accusations he withheld a 19-year-old girl against her will in his apartment and breaking the Swords and Firearms Control Law on July 22.

Iwata is accused of then putting a sword to an officer’s neck, and the other two officers drew their guns and asked him to put the sword down. Thirty minutes passed before five other officers stormed the room from the balcony and Iwata was arrested. One of the officers sustained a serious cut to his right leg in the incident, expected at the time to take up to two months to heal.

Thank god he wasn't seriously hurt!

Where's my buddy Cleo...?

JCops at their finest!

This story speaks for itself, Incompetence, Incompetence, and Piss-Poor Training, glad no one was injured!

I'm sure it's only because this fool with the sword didn't have the balls to use it, that no JCops got injured or killed.

I am still trying to figure out why they needed 5 more Jcops to finally subdue this fool, almost 15 minutes later....?

But then again, if your only training is how to hand out parking tickets to Obasan's and Ojisan's on bicycles, it understandable they wouldn't know what to do.
