In the middle of the night, the Okinawa police station was surrounded by about 300 young people. A police officer with a shield calls for the residents to leave, but angry shouts such as "Apologize quickly" and "Do your job properly" fly. Cheers and whistles echoed as stones, sticks and firecrackers were thrown. The uproar spread on smartphones. In the early hours of the 27th, a male high school student who was seriously injured sent a message to a 17-year-old male friend, saying, "I've been beaten by Arujun (I was beaten by a police officer while walking), and my eyes are terrible." A friend rushed over based on the location information and found the high school student lying down with blood running from his right eye. Videos of the event quickly spread on Instagram's "story" function, which automatically disappears after 24 hours, and on Twitter. On the night of the 27th, when the TV station reported that it was a "single accident" based on interviews with the prefectural police, about 10 acquaintances of the angry student gathered in front of the police station. Participation increased with the video broadcast on the Internet. A friend said indignantly, "There are no scratches on the motorcycle. It's unnatural to have an accident. I want the police to disclose the facts." On the other hand, a 17-year-old female high school student from Ginowan City said indifferently, "I came here because I learned about it on Instagram and wanted to see the site." ▽Okinawa station riot document Around 2:30 on the 27th A high school boy is transported to the hospital with a ruptured right eyeball 20:55 TV reports of a ``single accident'' Around 23:00 A young man becomes angry when he learns of the police report People begin to gather and stone throwing begins: 4:10 on the 28th: ​​After stone throwing ends, young people call for cleaning up the scattered garbage.
