Police in Sapporo have arrested a 20-year-old female police officer on suspicion of assaulting her 54-year-old mother.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 8 p.m. on Saturday at their house in Minami Ward.
Hokkaido Broadcasting Corp reported that Fumika Fujiwara, who is assigned to the Toyohira Police Station's Community Affairs Division, is accused of grabbing her mother Masako by the neck, causing abrasions.
Fujiwara was off duty at the time. Her mother, who called 110, was not seriously injured. Police said the two had been arguing over cleaning the house.
In spring last year, the mother consulted police about trouble she was having with her daughter, and that the police had given both mother and daughter guidance on multiple occasions since then.

A police officer who has had multiple warnings for multiple abuses should never have kept her badge. She should be a role model for society and if she even can't show stand up behavior at home she isn't fit for the job. Should have been fired and arrested after the first incident

Well, that usual Japanese Guidance worked out well, like the woman who consulted the police before being murdered

I am very curious about how the police justify this. Police officers are held to a higher standard than most people because of the authority they have, in this case it seems like this was not taken at all into account.

Looks like Deputy Dingdong will be wrapping dishes in tissue paper behind the counter at Daiso in the months ahead.

Never mind the badge, I wonder if she has been issued a gun. Mom better keep mom about the cleaning if her daughter is packing a piece.

Maybe that's why they stuck her behind a desk at the "community affairs division."
Although, yeah, she should have been fired, or at least suspended.

Why not move out of Moms house if she is not getting a long with her. Yes parents can be too much at times but fighting your own mother or father? That's unforgivable and a step too far!

*casually ignores the millions of times guidance was given that helped avoid escalation to a greater crime
