https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/2025-11-26/okinawa-military-police-usfj-facebook-video-19892357.htmlU.S. Forces Japan will halt unilateral military police patrols in Okinawa while it investigates a viral video of an American civilian being aggressively detained by a military police officer, a USFJ spokesman said Wednesday.
A patrol consisting only of U.S. military police detained the civilian early Sunday outside a bar in Okinawa city, spokesman Air Force Col. John Severns said by email. The civilian was not connected with the U.S. military, he said.
Two videos of the incident totaling four minutes were posted Sunday on a Facebook account that belongs to Garlic Sensations, a soul seafood truck in the Washington, D.C., area, and shared Tuesday by the Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page. The post identifies the man as Kareem Farrakhan El, a former Marine captain and brother of the truck owner.
In the first video, an officer who appears to belong to an Air Force security squadron lifts El and slams him to the ground. The incident appeared to take place in front of Star Bar on Gate 2 Street just outside Kadena Air Base.
Two security forces officers wrestle with El and attempt to handcuff him as he repeatedly says they have “no right to touch me.” A Marine police officer and a Navy police officer appear to be standing by.
The USFJ commander, Air Force Lt. Gen. Stephen Jost, has ordered an investigation into the incident, according to Severns.

EXCERPT
Bad look but I got mixed feelings about this because the dude was looking for a fight, even though he was legally in the right. Those MPs and Shore Patrol guys are toast.
