Seems like the Taibei police especially enjoy busting vendors selling stuff without a license in the night market. Other than that, don't know much about their doings.

Their little police scooters are neat, though.

i have heard from new in my country here, but these were from male assailants, not female though, havent heard any new of it any girls doing that kind of thing

being in london, The police officer will probably be fully assaulted before he even finishes his first sentence...

Ok, It's not *that* bad but they would be pretty ineffective nonetheless.

policemen in my country are most well known for bribery...

What are kids made of today? At least many don't have much respect for their elders (in the broad sense).
The police you ask? Here they are very kind, you can ask them about the situation (such as road blocking or sort) and they reply to you with much kindness. Though I'm sure you should not tease, mock or insult them, because they seem quite tough.
Well, there is a bias in what I say, since yours truly is a defender of Great Justice (as in always avoiding stupid/suspect public behavior, etc.).

so the high school girls are Sadists And the cops are Masochists?

The Police in Sweden are somewhat inbetween. You could say, it's a good/bad cop play here.

Here in my country, just pay em' and they'll shut up. If you're someone in the higher-up affiliated with the government party, you can make em' do cool things like disperse a peaceful gathering with excessive force or interrupt any opposition party-related activities. It's just like playing Command & Conquer and just as easy as issuing squad commands in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.

In the past, I only seem to see them around important people (government), standing guard at big events, and marching as part of the National Day Parade. Never did see them much else where.

However, after the recent "escape" by our very own homegrown terrorist "leader", I do see them alot more, driving around in their shining clean cars (eh, what else can one do when there's nothing else to do? Even our military vehicles and planes are shine-glossy finishing!), keeping a lookout for their "man".

Besides that, I don't really know what else they are doing behind the scenes besides tending to emergency phone calls and scrambling to the crime site, but they're known for their efficiency.

You definitely don't want to do that to our local police since they are military (National Republican Guard) and put you on the ground and hurt you really bad XD

is the comments supposed to be this far down the page? pretty sure it looked different last week i visited.

using firefox 2 atm.

it'd definitely depend on what the schoolgirl was spitting and what she had in her mouth just b4 the spitting...>:)

I think it depends on where you are in the states. Most police around Chicago can't bothered with traffic violations (i.e. blown stop signs, running red lights). If it doesn't involve traffic violations the police won't hesitate to throw their weight around.

always have respect for police for what htye put up with...
I work with them in my area alot.. and there just regular guys, or girls, trying to earn a wage and actually trying to make a differance.. unlike thoses thye pull over and what not.. they go out there everyday not knowing if they;ll be back that night.. if some dumba#$ will kill em for no good reason.. sad really.. had a rash of cop killins in Miami recently.. Be nice people.. there there for a reason..

Police over here are only good at catching the (nearly)innocent, like me. Been fined for cyling through a red light (with no traffic) and over the shopping mall (with no people). So yeah, tough as baboon nuts.....

Atleast the policemen in Japan look like good people... I heard that some policemen are corrupted and stuff, luckily Singapore's men/women in blue always follow things by the book...

Police in Japan seems to handle situations as risky as getting a kitten down a tree... maybe that's because the low criminality rate.

At my country, criminality rate is kinda high, and unfortunately, police sucks.

I've also heard that the police departments here are so cheap that they even charge cops for the bullets they use (or maybe discount them from the paycheck, who knows)... so, what if they get in a shootout? it would be like "cover me" and then "no, YOU cover me".

I'm telling you, be extra cautious when coming here.

South africa has the WORST police system EVER!

people from the Philippines please speak up, or are you too busy being "kidnapped for ransom" by your local police. ^^;

I think it depends... but generally the polices in Indonesia are just normal. They're working hard to stand for justice.

Nowadays, crimes become more various both in quality and quantity which make me feel bad about the polices here, seems that they can't let their guard down for a second.

Unfortunately, there are also some lousy polices, mainly in my region. They're stupid, especially in controlling the traffic. Just because they are police they think they can do anything. The easiest example is reckless driving... C'mon.. what kind of police are they if they don't turn on the sign when turning left / right?

Oh... well, here in Chile if some girls kick and spit a police officer (sub-division of the army), they would be charged of agression against law enforcer and sent to the police station... and her parents would have been fined.

Harming an officer in any way is a big no-no (you probably wouldn't be hit back, but the law would kick your rear, because MILITARY law would be imposed).

Philadelphia Police are a very tough bunch. Such an assault would result in those girls being locked up and on their way to a dentition facility (juvenile). Philly has the highest murder rate in the U.S. at 426 at last count and increasing. This school girl attack would not be tolerated at all. I am surprised at this news. I thought Japanese kids were better than this.

shamefully, police here spend their time loitering around "mamak stall" eating roti canai and drinking teh tarik most of the time
their tummy's are like the spare tire of a 18-wheeler truck
which explains why they are not able to chase whenever a snatch theft occurs..
instead they like to do roadblock and take "duit kopi"
or chase after legally employ foreign workings and pretend they did something wrong and pretend to want to arrest them and take more "duit kopi"

dialling 999 is useless as the cops takes 1 hrs to arrice at the crime scene.. and whenever they fail to solve a big case which is splatter all over the papers, they quickly catch a dead cat...

the police force here has some negative image 'coz some regular and high ranking officials are corrupt...but not all police authorities are corrupt

I Don't like the police...then again i just have a problem with authority in general.

That cop in the pic looks so weak. He looks more like a drug addict more than a cop. (-_____-.
You really don't want to fool with the cops here in my region. They're like 6 feet tall and over 250lbs...

I remember those Peru anti-riot polices, will those girls even dare to think about doing the same thing to them? ^^

http://gizmodo.com/352266/peruvian-anti+riot-police-uniforms-look-like-judge-dredd-meets-batman

They enjoy sleeping on the job and harassing law abiding citizens. But then again we have a largely conscription based police force.

If this happened here, those girls would probably be flat on their face with their hands behind the back. Sure, cops are lazy, but the ones I know aren't push-overs

I don't think you want to mess around with Boys in blue at LA area, past shows what could happen -_-

wow I would never spit on an officers face. Especially here in America, where the Patriot Act is riding on us like a full force wedgie. For some reason, I like to think police in Japan, generally, are a little more lenient in terms of patience and hostility.

I had one bad experience with a cop... It's a workday and I get off the red line on to Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles. As I walk to the office, I see a motorcycle cop talking to this woman. Doesn't bother me, but I'm thinking, damn this this guy is lazy.

Now there's a walk sign that is broken, anyone who works in the area knows it doesn't work, so you watch the light turn red... so I walk without even thinking... and next thing I hear is a siren from that same cop.

I tell him what the deal is... and he ignores me - bastard. Even when other people were crossing that same street.

Had to pay a fine for jay walking. Paid it.... vacation next week.

Hard to say about police here in my area. The state and most of the cities are in bad financial shape. I almost never see police.

Remember an one officer telling me that the patrol cars in Detroit where not equipped with computers.

i was curious about one thing danny can you tell or any other Japanese what the hell is wrong in 2 persons riding a bicycle.why the hell is there suck a law its totally foolish.give me a good reason i cant think of any

An assult on an officer. That's a great way to get arrested. There is no law about riding a bike with 2 people. I think that officer is just worried about the girls getting hurt.

Here police officers are tuff ...but you can have "perfectly legal arregaments with them" ....

Ho..... if I did that not only is it shameful and completely destroys my honor, I would get fined heavy and thrown in the clinker for some hard time for spitting on a police officer.

Honor driven and bound, I am thankful for everything the police and armed forces do for our country.

The boys in blue here are the toughest and they don't take chances. They don't "ask" for anything when arresting- if you run you will be down on the ground and very uncomfortable.

They are cracking down in Pennsylvania on street racing and speeders. We get a lot of tailgating and speeding around the Reading area and people are being stopped for it. They are also cracking down on drug problems in Reading. The police are every part of our family and they are some of the best people around.

I feel very safe despite being outside of Reading and I feel safe at home, relativly. Police do a good job around here, they are patrolling and they are typically ever present wherever you are going. They are great people, and they are people I can trust.

Brawl with a police officer in the United States and you will be maced and/or constrained, then put in handcuffs and thrown in the clinker. I have a zero tolerance policy for crime, and so do these guys.

Police here are eficient... and tough. A thing like this sure is imposible in Spain. Anyway, if things like this is possible in japan, is more that a problem...

I wouldn't say they're tough as bricks, but I wouldn't say they're tough as baboon nuts either. Police here is somewhere in the middle I guess.

The boys in blue here are a joke. They just love to use their power to squeeze people out of their money. There's only a rare few who doesn't do that around here. Such a shame really.

The police in Japan once stopped me from getting near a bus that was boarding preschoolers. I was pretty surprised, but it makes for a great conversation topic now.

The funny thing there is that he said he felt bad about it after he found out that I was American. As if Loli-con was some sort of indigenous disease or something.

lol I hate cops too...but...I wouldn't try to kick or spit in their face.
they'd have you flat on the with your face bashed in before u can say baboon ass.

Naughty little girls.

I don't mess with the cops in Jersey, not because they fit the stereotypical "pigs" in blue suits image of oppression but they still project a sense of authority. they're quite respectful and professional though an occasional bad seed will occur. A friend of mine's dad was a former cop who was busted for pulling his gun out on his ex-wife.

arrested twice in Tokyo. Most polite and respectable/responsible police I have ever been arrested by...

The other day i was driving to school and all of a sudden there were signs that read "Drug Inspection Point Ahead.. brought to you by blah blah" and there were like 6 or so police and they were just randomly stopping people for about a mile or so.

In the US you see cops being quite assertive on TV shows where show recordings of patrol car dash cam videos, or documentary types like COPS, but the ones I've personally seen have been quite restrained.

That being said, I remember a saying back in LA that sort of went like: No copkiller leaves LA alive.

Cops can be bought... just wish I had the money. :P

For a (not too) accurate picture of what the police is like in Brazil, watch the movie: "Tropa de Elite".

Police force in Brazil can be described with the following words:
underpayed, understaffed, underequipped, mostly corrupt, mostly unprepared, mostly uneducated, several times inefficient.. and some other stuff.

There are few exceptions unfortunately.

Oh, also, if girls here in Brazil did something similar to those japanese girls, chances they would end up arrested, beaten up or even dead are not too hard. All depends on where.

But being Brazilian, I don't know if you can really trust the police version... I'd have to hear what the girls have to say first.

You mess with LAPD and before you know it you'll be kissing the floor and black and blue all over...id like to see those girls try it here, then they'd probably appreciate their police force a bit more...

I have some experiences with the police here from my midnight runnings with the "Stater's", a pull over from the LLPD, and The Valencia County Sheriff's Deputy's. They are nice, but the guy from Bosque Farms was mean and gave a ticket for speeding going with the flow of traffic at 60 MPH at a 45(Rush hour in BF on Hwy 47). I know some people from past experience and drove around in a 86 Chevy Caprice. No one picks on me because I'm driving a 05 GMC not a 86 Caprice, or the 78 GMC. Hassled too much. I think there should be more enforcement of the traffic laws here near the schools and of the stop lights. There's even a SWAT team here and seen most of them, and the LLPD here at ヲウグリーンス。

I'm kinda like a police brat. My father is apart of the County Sheriffs where I live so I grew up knowing a lot of police officers. All I can say is that half are reasonable good people who can tell really good stories and the other half are either retarded or assholes. One example of assholiness is when my mother got pulled over. The cop knew my dad so told my mother that "It would embarrass John (my father) if he gave her a ticket" and said it very indignantly. Apparently he talked so long waving around how awesome he apparently is that my mother almost said give me the damn ticket.

Really I don't think you can rate a police force as universally bad or good from just one or two reports you hear. You really need to see for yourself because often for as much that goes horribly wrong just as much or more goes amazingly right. Unless you of course have really corrupt officials.

hm... here in Ukraine- try to fight with police is a crazy idea. They like to kick ass and most of them like boxing or sambo.
Serious injures and jail in a best case(if they just don't shoot you )

I'd love to see the incident in question made into an anime scene, I think it would be really cool.

In Singapore? Well, police firing shot are like a miracle. In other words, it just hardy ever happen. talking about bribing police, u pop money to the cop in S'pore.. they straight away threw u into a cell with steel gate shut.

Police in Singapore aren't as tough as bricks, they're variable. sometimes they're harder than an anvil, other times they're softer than a dishwashing sponge.

the Suffolk County Police by me here on Long Island have a reputation as being the "Protectors of the Pension". They get paid far more than the NYPD which in itself is a crime and they are nothing but a bunch of egotistical lazy mafia Italian army rejects. There are some good cops, not all are bad but most see the money and power they get as an excuse to both not be educated and to shove their power around to less important issues.

In Tokyo I just use the cops for directions. They look more like an information booth to me and they have really good maps as well as manners. I have run into some undercover officers at Ikebukuro station a few times and they asked for my passport and reason for being in Japan. They are really polite though. In Seattle its a totally different story. Some cops or okay but its very common for them to get overly dramatic over something as simple as a small traffic violation and in those cases even asking a question politely tends to provoke them. Kicking, spitting or talking back to one is a good way to get a beating. And don't get caught taking pictures of them roughing people up either.

Hell no. When you see a bobby hat here running faster than a 16 yr old shoplifter and 1 and a half times the size of the kid, u'll never want to mess with the police here.

you don't want to mess with the police around LA. i have alot of respect for the boys/girls in blue. especially with all the war stories i've heard from them.

Police in Sydney are slow to respond to some things(cause of a system they have , more dangerous/serious the crime is , less time to respond)

you don't want to pick a fight with them , they will brutally beat you

Police trained before the 2000 Sydney Olympics will be unbeatable

Nothing can surprise me these days. Saw a clip of this on youtube a few days ago, actually...

Since America actually has crime, I guess our police are pretty good.

Locally, we have an alright police force. Although some watch too much Dirty Harry (I'm going to guess an influence)

One time, I was visiting a friend, and across the street someone was getting a talk from a cop regarding their car. Calm as a cucumber, things worked out. Odd how in rushed times, there are still some humble people that have such a job.

hmm...this is so so so sad!
well....the police over here are all either useless or robbing ppl or hiding in bushes taking paparazi picies >.<

Try that in singapore and they are not going to get away with just a warning. Singapore police are known for loving their reputation and will go to great length protecting it and punishing anyone who tried to challenge its authority. But at least corruption are rare and they are efficient to the point of dispatching an entire riot squad to standby on a rally by *gulp* 4 people.

Police in my area are bored out of their minds. They will try to catch anyone doing anything.
Japanese police have always reminded me of boy scouts.

I think the police here in Sweden are doing a good job, they're mostly just huge and look dangerous though. The bicycle cops are annoying though. Once the police stopped me because I was running and asked me why I was running, and I was running because I didn't want to miss the last bus home xD. So yeah, don't run if you're in a hurry, lol.

Oh good lord! The New Jersey Police are like crazy! standing on the side on the road in traffic looking foe seat belts and cell phones! They even passed a no cellphone and no eating while driving law! And dont forget theys act like jerks when the pull you over.

Jajaja. Thanks God that in Japan the police is pacific, if you go to Venezuela and you appreciate your life or your face or body DON'T do that, really.

Japanese police are pretty soft. If they were NYC cops, those girls wouldn't think about doing something like that.

Do not trust the POLice

i live near Lincoln acres in san diego, for those of you who know what i'm talking about!!!
the cops here would have dropped those little Japanese girls like a sack of potatoes!!! but being that we're in california, they would have pressed charges for "police brutality"! act like a B****, and you go down like one!
