RE: Rodrigo Duterte, the Murderer and Dictator

"13,000 extrajudicial killings (EJKs)"claimed by the media- but in reality "that there are only 3,811 drug personalities who died in the anti-drug operations", so it being only 3,811 makes it OK?

Sort:  

In which part did I say that it is OK?

I have openly admitted that there are rogue policemen. In any profession, there are. They make mistakes. But what to do about it? Condemn them and change the system.

That's what happened. No consent was given to policemen who performed their duties out of the law. With regards to the system, the PNP lost its power to lead the war on drugs, with the PDEA taking over. When it was returned to them, the guidelines in the war of drugs were changed. Like the suggestion to wear body cameras, although a bit late, was welcomed. I am all for that.

It is not ok and I believe that every one's life is important but what would you do help your community? We do our decision making thinking it will the best interest for most people.

Just like any war, there is always price to pay to achieve the peace that we want to enjoy. Tell me, why do powerful nations declares war against other nation? Is it not for peace? How many lives are at stake? The data that are presented here are just linked to drugs. Some of these death are not even from legitimate police operations.

What did we do to help our community? Being a good citizen is help enough. Let us strive to be one.
