In Japan, when the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (64), the training video of a security guard belonging to the Japanese Metropolitan Police Agency (SP) regarding two months ago is becoming a hot topic online.
Yesterday (15th) online communities shared a video of the police department’s training video held in front of the Tokyo Guest House on May 18th.
At that time, the Metropolitan Police Department conducted a mock drill ahead of the Quad 4 Summit to be held in Tokyo on the 24th of the same month.
In the video, a gunshot rings out from the crowd welcoming the actor’s visit, and bodyguards standing near the shooter quickly subdue the shooter.
The bodyguards use the bag they are carrying as a shield to surround the factor. Security guards are vigilant in all directions and evacuate the factor into the car.
Netizens criticized by commenting, “All training is meaningless and a waste of money” and “I mightn’t properly protect the most important person.”
In Japan, it is pointed out that security was not done properly when former Prime Minister Abe was attacked on the 8th.
At the time of the attack, dozens of security personnel including members of the Metropolitan Police Department were stationed around Abe at the time of the attack, but there was no stopping until Tetsuya Yamagami (41) approached behind Abe and fired the first shot.
Nara Prefectural Police Headquarters Director Tomoaki Onizuka said on the 9th, “It cannot be denied that there was a problem with the security and security of former Prime Minister Abe.”
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also said at a press conference on the 14th, “I think there was a problem with the security measures.”
