This is obviously a tragic case, the anguish and despair are perfectly understandable.
However, the attitude? Why do British citizens behave like this so often in an international environment? From British journalists spouting stereotypical comments about another culture, to Tim Blackman's disrespect and antagonistic attitude towards random Japanese people/policemen just trying to get on with their lives. Again, it's a serious case, and understandably standard behavior is out the window here, but trying to stick your signs anywhere and then giving an officer a hard time for nicely telling him not to? ?

Imagine a foreigner who made a scene in London after his host daughter went missing. They then tried to stick posters everywhere in the city centre, then their entourage of journalists/friends launched stereotypical comments like "Oh you know, the British, they may seem reserved but there's a dark side under the belly", mocking the police instead of trying to interact with them first, exhibiting rude behaviour...they could be taken down immediately, let alone given huge platforms to make their case to the media with many locals doing their best to help.
