Gang riding minibikes attacks cop in Osaka rampage
MSN-Mainichi Daily News: October 31, 2005
TAKATSUKI, Osaka --A gang of young men with dyed hair and riding on minibikes unleashed three muggings in short succession Sunday, including one attack on an off-duty police officer, police said.
None of the three attacked -- a 23-year-old police officer, an 18-year-old university student and a 24-year-old self-employed man -- were seriously harmed in the muggings, but all lost money and the police officer sustained minor injuries....assailants as all being young with dyed hair and riding together on five minibikes between about 10 of them.
Police said the group rode up behind the officer as he rode his bicycle home in the early hours of Sunday morning and demanded he give them cash. They then set up him, punching him in the face and stomach and stealing the 7,000 yen in cash he had in his wallet.

... the off-duty cop should have just shot one of them in the leg and that would have been the end of that gang and ALOT of crime...

Off-duty cops do not carry guns normally. Cop guns and ammo are held in the station--the cops don't own their guns, their station does. There is an "honorable bullet count and gun inventory" at the beginning and end of every shift---Gr-r-reat theater. Woe, the rookie who loses a bullet. A simple spent round in the line of duty, involves DAYS of paperwork.

If you remember Barnie Fife and his issue of one bullet. We're not far off on this topic!
