This cop did fine and judged the situation accordingly. On the other hand if that had been a two hundred pound six foot two individual that cop had better of used lethal force. I agree with posters on both sides, excessive force is way too common in the us police, but reality has to come into play in a situation where an officer has to use more excessive means. That is what I was taught cade by case nothing is always black and white.

Had a story in montana of a man who thought he shot an elk, brought it to the game Worden to check and tag, it ended up being a man's pet alpaca. Lots of people who hunt shouldn't be allowed yet they do. This case though I think is different.

I hope they get the contract. Japan lost out on the bullet train contract, that countries mistake. Hope Australia doesn't make the same kind of mistake.

Posted in: Do you think the names of minors convicted of violent crimes should be reported by the media? See in context

Not true at all juveniles here in Japan serve time in juvenile hall and are released at their time of turning to adulthood. Unless tried as an adult and given an adult sentence which then changes. For example the juvenile who beheaded two elementary students and left the heads at the school gates only served time for a few years. He has been since released and relocated and now lives with a new name in an undisclosed location. Neighbors not ever knowing they live next to a child murderer. Japan seems fond of releasing these quote unquote children back into society. Children can be just as monstrous as any adult.

Posted in: Do you think the names of minors convicted of violent crimes should be reported by the media? See in context

Absolutely without a doubt the same style of information should be let known as in the states. Convicted murders of any age should be public knowledge when they move next to you or in your apartment building it should be required that the surrounding neighbors be let know. I had hosted two detectives in an exchange program from the Kumamoto prefecture with the Missoula county sherrifs office. We had this very same discussion, when I showed them the violent offender online registration program anyone has access to they were absolutely stunned and amazed that kind of knowledge was public. Their reasoning as to why Japan does not do it is to protect the well being of the surrounding people not causing undo stress with the knowledge and to also allow the individual the privacy of getting on with their life. I was also let know that the police monitor violent offenders for the rest of their adult lives on the cost of the tax payers. I can say that we had different views of what were the rights of others versus the rights of the convicted criminals.

If American car makers made something that Japanese wanted then maybe they would buy. These guys are just whining that no one wants their inferior or useless product in japan. What maybe fine in montana may not be even useful in japan. Boo hoo ford.

Consumers will always look at cheap prices before quality products. Sharp has its work cut out for it.

Good on japan, no need to suck up to those who whine "we do it so you have to too". If they bring nothing to japan why should they be allowed in? Japan does not need to be the Germany of asia.

What honestly could Indonesia bring to the table that Japan could not supply itself. What ever people say Japan has an extremely capable military and technology complex. A meeting of this type seems a little one sided.

Do not really care about his personal life, everyone has their quirks some more odd than others. What I will always stick by is the dude could dance and sing like no one else at the time or even currently.
