Current Events > Police called in to break up violent brawl between.... The police!? O_O

(+) Yeah! (+)

On a night in late November, the employees of a restaurant in Akita City, Akita prefecture, had a problem. A group of about 10 men, all coworkers, had been drinking, and instead of being jovially or sleepily drunk, theyd settled on the belligerent style of intoxication instead.

The men started arguing among themselves, and eventually some of them came to blows, damaging the restaurants interior and fixtures in the process. Ordinarily, youd call the cops in to break the brawl up, but in this case, the brawlers themselves were all police officers.

The inebriated men were all officers assigned to the same police box, or koban, as theyre called in Japanese. Like the name implies, koban are mini police stations, often with just a small visitors desk and inner office.

Police boxes are generally a reassuring city feature for law-abiding residents, since they provide a local police presence and rapid responses. But looking at the cramped working environment, you have to imagine that sometimes officers assigned to the same police box start to get on each others nerves, and it seems as though some simmering animosity sparked an argument between some members of the group at the Akita restaurant. Its unclear what the topic of contention was, but despite the fact that one of the officers was the head of their koban, eventually the angry debaters, all of whom are attached to the Akita Prefectural Polices Gojome Precinct, decided to try making their points with their fists instead of their words, and by the time the dust settled, one of the Gojome officers had suffered broken ribs.

Luckily, when the restaurant staff did call in the incident, the call was directed to the Chuo Precinct, who have now initiated an internal affairs investigation into the melee. As the investigation is still ongoing no disciplinary action has been decided yet, but if a group of police officers cant go out to dinner without committing crimes including drunk and disorderly conduct, assault and battery, and property damage, it seems like their superiors might want to worry as much what/how much theyre drinking while off duty as they do about whether or not they enjoy non-alcoholic beverages while on patrol.

Some departments might have stuff like that. My department doesnt care but if you fuck up because you are being an idiot they will hang you to dry easily. My department has a very good relationship with the community and they try to keep it that way

If you spend your free time getting in fights in public then you're a shitty person and an even shitter cop.

Stop making excuses for people being utterly pathetic

>claims not to be a contrarian

That's some borderline sigless user logic.
