Alright, today was honestly a very very confusing day. It started with a total island blackout, no cell service, and no lights unless you count the moon. The blackout lasted 10 minutes, and lord knows what the people did during it. I, myself was with Mayor Akihito on a roof.
Next, while strolling around the plaza, a group of KPD was doing a normal patrol route, until a swarm of people started to come around them while patting someone down. This escalated very quickly, drawing out most of the entire force to assist with the large crowd. Due to the crowd not backing off, tasers and bullets were fired to scare them off.
The officers left the area… only to be followed by the crowd. This started the riot at the Karakura Police Station. The riot was horrible, absolutely. No way would this riot account for any change at all. It was all high school and college students yelling at the KPD, vulgar things. Why? The main name that was thrown into the yelling was ‘Akihito’. The people blamed Akihito for this. To try and get the crowd back, the officers loaded rubber bullets and fired them, to execute brute force.
This did not go well, in fact. I was shot, three times by these bullets. They hurt, innocent people were shot just for standing, not even remotely near the area of the rioters. The KPD officers retreated inside multiple times, but because of this, many criminals found their opportunity to harm others. I saw someone get stabbed, and then kidnapped, and I saw the Director of the Hospital get attacked for trying to help someone. All that is left to say, there are better ways of getting your opinion across than hosting riots that can injure innocent people. That's all for today.
