Okinawa Gov. Onaga at press conference

At a press conference on Oct. 20, 2016, in Naha, Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga expresses his displeasure at the stance of Osaka Gov. Ichiro Matsui, who said he appreciated the work of two Osaka riot police officers who were dispatched to Okinawa to help local police respond to anti-base protests. The two officers hurled ethnic slurs at protesters, but Matsui said they had worked hard, although their choice of words was inadequate. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
