What was the question? Japanese lawyers, doctors, police officers, etc., say and ask really strange things they shouldn’t.

Horrible. Disgusting.
Where’s the video link? The public must know about such graphic behavior.

Japan is still the most safest Nation, if a woman slapping a cop makes National news.

What did the cop ask her?

Well, she was drunk, but I have to tell you, wanting to or actually slapping a cop doesn't mean it was her who was out of line, per se. I have been stopped FOUR TIMES so far this year and have had my bag emptied and searched and questions about my annual income, whom I live with, if we sleep in the same room, and all sorts of other garbage. The last one was right outside my home and various people whom I know came and asked what the problem was. They said, "We just wanted to ask him something," to which I asked, "So why did I need to empty my bag?" It went ignored. The only good part of it all was that I had an almost empty coffee cup which, the not quite empty part got dumped into the back of the scooter seat where he was asking me to put everything from my bag. Needless to say, I would not hit the people, of course, but I am saying the woman was not necessarily all that wrong in wanting to.

But she was at her own home... why did the man call the police when he could simply leave? Seems an unnecessary drama.
