The animal under the uniform of any profession cannot be hidden or tamed by education, social norms, or threat of punishment, sooner or later, depending on external and internal circumstances, it will show its real nature.
Note: The American Museum of Natural History and many academic institutions, such as those involved in biological and anthropological research, also classify humans as animals based on our biological characteristics and evolutionary history.

Somehow, tendency that illegal acts of ruling party politicians or police are not prosecute strengthen in recent Japan.

Maybe he really doesn't remember. Maybe he's been indoctrinated with the idea that police officers don't grope women, he's a police officer ergo he didn't grope anyone ergo he doesn't remember it. George Orwell was into something when he came up with doublethink.
