'Reign of terror': Fear in the Philippines as police embark on state-sanctioned 'killing spree'

People in the slums of Manila are living in fear after new Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte called on police and vigilantes to kill drug suspects. Key points:
Around 500 people have been killed since Rodrigo Duterte declared war on crime The policy is popular in the nation which has a major drug and crime problem But the families of victims say police claims they were shot while resisting arrest don't stack up
The ABC recently spent five days in the Philippines, during which time around 50 suspects were killed, mostly while allegedly resisting arrest.
In Tondo, a Manila slum, the ABC visited the family of one man who had been shot by police while in custody.
Roland Resido was arrested at his home, then taken away in handcuffs. He was one of three suspects shot dead in custody by Tondo police on July 6.
"We arrested three guys and brought them in to get tested," local police commander, Inspector Monico Aliado, told the ABC.
"They grabbed an officer's gun. There wasn't anything our officers could do except defend themselves."
Mr Resido's family disputes this version of events.
"He was supposed to be taken to the precinct, and he went with them willingly," his widow Marissa Resido said.
"I did not realise this is what they will do to him."
Mr Resido's son, JR, said: "That is just a show that the police said that he fought them, so that's why they killed him.
"He was in handcuffs. How can he fight when his hands were handcuffed?"
One month into Mr Duterte's six-year presidency, around 500 drug suspects have been executed. Police are responsible for many of the killings.
One of the very few Filipinos prepared to speak out about the extra-judicial killings is Catholic priest Father Amado Picardal.
"I think there is more to come, because the reign of terror has started. The police are on a killing spree, and so are the vigilante groups," he said.
Father Picardal worked in Davao City, where human rights groups say about 1,300 criminal suspects were executed by police and death squads over 20 years.
Father Picardal said the killing of suspects was "murder encouraged by the President".
"My worst fears are being realised, but even I did not think it would begin so quickly," Father Picardal said.
"The way I see it is that they want to make an example, so the addicts are so scared, so intimidated they go to surrender in groups. They have to do a lot of killings to convince others of what they are doing."
Tens of thousands of drug users have been forced to "surrender" to police at mass-pledging ceremonies where they promise to give up drugs.
The ABC attended one event in a Manila slum where about 500 people suspected of using crystal methamphetamine β known in the Philippines as shabu β were forced to register as drug criminals and promise not to use again.
Those who don't turn up are sought out in the slums by police and district officials and given final warnings.
The ABC accompanied one patrol through Tondo, where users were visited at their homes. One man, who said he was a user who supported his habit by working as a "runner" for dealers, was told, "This is your warning, let's not wait for it to get worse."
Users are expected to get clean on their own. In Manila the handful of rehab clinics are privately run and cost around $US1,000 a month for in-house treatment. Most Tondo residents earn less than $10 a day.

WASP Republicans would love to do the same thing in the states. The only group I have seen speak out on this is the drug policy alliance. It takes a lot of trauma for Obama's administration to give their politically correct speech.

What a crazy fucking world we have built around ourselves...
I hope it surfaces that the president is a drug user of some kind and he gets shot...

I don't know of any society that raised itself higher with mass murder. Perhaps in a galaxy far far away?

What if we mass murder all the murderers. Like have a "purge" of sorts but with only scumbags/ criminals participating.

That's when the professional, well trained and very well equipped/funded murders take over. I don't think we can beat them. It's going to take a lot more space exploration.

Seems like they have already taken over in the form of LEO and corrupt politicians sadly.
I have always loved bill hick's vision of space exploration, hopefully we will realize it one day.

Human nature being what it is, I am certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that many of these people had nothing to do with drugs.

That's because they can't raise a proper animal for dinner.

Soup was reportedly made from the old guard, following purges, and babies are used as a health remedy, in notorious, online photos.

I hope he isn't a drug user and he gets shot, they sprinkle some crack on his corpse, toxicology report shows 2 weeks later he was clean and his assassin flees free and then they realize how fucked this all is.
Seriously, i am speechless that ANYONE could supoirt this policy. I'm sure his rise to power wasn't very democratic, but you know there's brain damaged retards who say "ya know, this actually isn't that bad an idea, maybe we should apply it to the (blacks, whites etc. You get my point)
We live in a world where something in your pocket has access to literally all recorded info in the world and yet savages like this are still around.
So fucked.

It would certainly be interesting if he wrongs one of his higher-ups and they plant a bug or spy camera in his home or office and record him drinking or drugging. It would certainly put some sort of flip on his regime of murder and terror.

This was his method for creating what was once one of the most dangerous and drug-ridden cities in the country into one of the cleanest in the country. He didnt hide his intentions when he was campaigning for president, this is what the Filipino people wanted, and still what most of the population supports. Its crazy stuff

i heard hired guns get 200 USD per hit. and they go in pairs(so called riding-in-tandem) so they get a hundred bucks each.
and some policemen do the hit too.
