Silly premise all wrong: J-Police would NOT shoot/kill suspect

First of all, I love this film. And it really should have been in 3D. Man that would have been awesome.

However, as someone who has lived in Japan (Tokyo) and is well aware of their strict anti-drug laws, un-leniant criminal sentencing structure and borderline-racist immigration policies, I found the whole premise of this movie (cops shoot unarmed kid suspected of dealing drugs) so absurb and laughable that it almost ruined the movie for me.

Anyone familiar with Japanese culture and/or law can tell you that Japanese police would never, ever, ever, ever shoot at a suspect just because of drugs, and certainly not blindly through a door. It categorically would never happen.

Also, the part about the Japanese police lying that Oscar was carrying a gun was beyond stupid. The Japanese are the one if not only culture we can trust NOT to lie, especially the police. And even if they did, there were so many witnesses there to refute them. And how could they produce a stolen gun with prints at the very last moment? No, the Japanese might be cruel and heartless, but they are not dirty liars.

All the director had to do was swap out the police with the yakuza, then the story line would have been perfectly believeable.

I just can't believe that no one has pointed out the profound implausibility of the premise of this film. Not even the Japanese press. And I am surprised that the Japanese permitted it in their theaters.

"The police carry guns, but rarely shoot them, instead using their black belts in judo or police sticks. In an average year, the entire Tokyo police force only fires six shots...In a top-down society such as Japan, when the government disarms itself, it creates a powerful moral climate for citizens to do the same."
