I’m watching the Japanese version of COPS. There are some big differences. Most of the time they are chasing people for not wearing helmets on motorcyles, no domestic disturbances yet. They just chased down one guy who tried to run and led the cops through the city on a chase. The first thing they said when they caught him – “Are you OK?”
That’s some serious culture shock. Now the cops are eating ramen and fried rice instead of donuts. It’s fun to watch them suit up in kevlar and hit the mean streets of Japan.
