Actually they're coming down the street now. They've cordoned off the whole of sotobori-dori and arrested three protesters who tried to get through a battery of 15 police officers in front of the neighbourhood Ferrari dealer.

Looks to me that at least one set of trucks was dudes affiliated with:

So they are Moonies.

Yeah, as SFO comments, they came back around 6:45 for a final slow parade.
Three trucks followed by 7 Japanese sedans of the exact same make filled with plain clothes police/J-FBI types.

What is that weird probe they have? I mean, do Japanese police go easy on the firearms because they have phasers? Or is that just a big thermometer.

Actually, they're similar, but I think that's a flanger, not a phaser.
