Unlike the Uvalde police chief, some people take their responsibilities seriously:
Japan’s national police chief on Thursday said he will resign to take responsibility over the fatal shooting of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a campaign speech last month.
National Police Agency Chief Itaru Nakamura’s announcement came as his agency released a report on how it failed to save Abe’s life on July 8 when he was assassinated in Nara in western Japan.
The police report found holes in Abe’s police protection that allowed the alleged attacker to shoot him from behind.
Nakamura said he took the former prime minister’s death seriously and that he submitted his resignation to the National Public Safety Commission earlier Thursday.
“In order to fundamentally reexamine guarding and never to let this happen, we need to have a new system,” Nakamura told a news conference as he announced his intention to step down.
