Of course, the writers made that man behave that way in order to portray Hanto (who very very very conveniently appears out of nowhere @ 18:33) as the hero who saves the day. That scene is the ultimate facepalm. Gosh, how blatantly manipulated this story can be? Just because this is a story about vigilantes fighting otherworldly invaders doesn't mean that the police (and the civilians) can do nothing to at least try to stop them. They still have normal, healthy, and well-functioning logic, rationality, and common sense, right? Also, in this context, the civilians still have honor, dignity, and courage, right? Right? Right?

You're saying this as if stuff like this didn't happen in real life?
