"Halt! for my sign looks like a doughnut and I'm not afraid to use it!" I don't see how the temporary increase of police presence is a bad thing, perhaps a temporary nuisance if it causes worse traffic conditions but who doesn't expect traffic when in Tokyo? I just hope we don't hear cases of officers harassing people just as a means to let out their own frustration for having to work.

The sad thing is Obama doesn't really want to visit Abe.

A couple of guys standing around in fluro vests with a whistle and a red light saber make things safer ? It must surely be all in the white gloves..

As is well known, Tokyo is a really safe city. Feel even safer 'cause police are stationed all over the place near my home and stomping grounds ... So, will sleep even sounder tonight ...
