Osaka rogue police assaulted rally participants (20 March 2004)

video
On 20 March 2004, international solidarity anti-war rally was held here in Osaka, Ogimachi-park (about 5,000 people have gathered).
Before departure, we spotted some of the officer who stood beside us (in plain clothes) were the main culprits of 17 February 2004 crackdown against Kamagasaki-Patrol. Among them were Masahiro Maekawa (The Police Captain of the 3rd Public Security Section of the Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarter, head of the team) and Mitsui (the very guy who interrogated K).
Spotting them, our comrade K took microphone and begun to introduce the guys to the rally participants, citing some of conversations with them during his detention.

(During interrogation, Mitsui said)
"During WWII, My father went to China as a volunteer soldier. He'd been taken as a prisoner of war in Soviet, and he'd been "brainwashed". Returning Japan, he joined Japan Communist Party."
"But he couldn't live on that, So quit the party and became police officer."
"So, my blood is communist blood! I'm great senior of YOU!"

Of course we laughed, pointing Mitsui.
Then the guys suddenly raged and tried to assault K.
We gathered to protect him, and fortunately none of us was hurt.
What's wrong with revealing YOUR words and deeds during official duty?
We strongly blame brutal acts of the Osaka Prefecture Police.
Shame on you!
