How drunk could this guy be to pour a glass of water on the police officer after getting arrested? And I agree with Reckless; adding that in many other countries, neither the arrest, nor the beating he would have get from the police would not make the national news.

Izakaya open at 1AM. I thought they were to close by 10? All talk (to make the public happy BUT no Action as usual.

That poor police officer. He’s going to need time off.

I thought only Ted Striker and babies did that.
Boy, if the officer had difficulty doing his job after having water poured on him, imagine if he was involved in gun play or a bottle of juice entering the action.
Why was there even water around him?
Did the police offer him a drink?
Was it already on their desk, because you know, it's so stressful playing so many smartphone games on duty, they need liters of water around?
Was it a bad manzai act?

When this idiot did all of this, the water pouring seems insignificant .
Whether drunk or not, assaulting an employee of the establishment should get him decent jail time.
I assume his acquaintance refused to press charges!!
Do the hustle
Another drunken hero beating on women. Lock him up for five years to give him time to ponder his drunken cowardliness.

Nukaga you weak, pathetic little man. You assault a woman, and then proceed to assault another woman resulting in fracturing her finger. Probably learned it from watching your father beat your mother growing up you loser.
Goodlucktoyou
When I was arrested I wasn’t given any water for the whole day. I even begged. How did he get water, and how did he get a glass?

Kicking a woman in the face 'disorderly?'
Really?
