This is some amazingly comedic footage: today, over 100 police officers raided the Tokyo headquarters of an ultra-leftist group.
First, as they’re trying to saw their way in, the group’s representative just opens a door and is like, dude just use the door
Then, the group’s representative takes each officer’s temperature and gives each permission to enter
Japan, never change
Japan, never change

Earlier this month the group’s leader, Takeo Shimizu, made his 1st public appearance in 51 years (!) at a rally, which is what triggered the raid: https://www.sankei.com/smp/premium/news/201007/prm2010070009-s1.html
Known as Chukakuha in Japan, the ultra-leftist group is linked to a 1971 riot in Shibuya that left 1 officer dead. Here’s a NYT report on the incident:
