President Joko Widodo’s comments echo those of Philippines leader Rodrigo Duterte, whose drug war has killed thousands.
Indonesia’s president, Joko Widodo, has told law enforcement officers to shoot drug traffickers to deal with what he called a “narcotics emergency” facing the country.
“Be firm, especially to foreign drug dealers who enter the country and resist arrest. Shoot them because we indeed are in a narcotics emergency position now,” Widodo said in a speech delivered at a political event late on Friday.
His remarks have drawn comparisons to those of Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte, who launched a brutal anti-drug crackdown about a year ago that saw thousands of alleged drug dealers and drug users killed.
The bloody campaign in the Phillipines has drawn condemnation from the international community, including the United Nations.
Indonesia also has tough laws on drugs. Widodo has previously been criticised for ordering the execution of convicted drug traffickers who were given a death penalty by the court. Rights activists and some governments have called on Indonesia to abolish the death penalty.
Friday’s order from Widodo came a week after Indonesian police shot dead a Taiwanese man in a town near the capital, Jakarta. The man, who was part of a group trying to smuggle a tonne of crystal methamphetamine into the country, was killed for resisting arrest, police have said.
After the incident, Indonesian national police chief Tito Karnavian was quoted by media as saying he had ordered officers not to hesitate shooting drug dealers who resist arrest.

-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Yup murdering everyone who don't fall in line is usually the last desperate attempt to stop an enviable change. Drugs are FUN and fascism is not so the people of Indonesia and the Philippians get what they give hell on earth, while we get high.

It's not though there are hit squads if you are even suspected they could walk up to you in the street or in a club shoot you in the face maybe drop some drugs and collect money for it they live on 2 dollars an hour or something I can't imagine that the people doing this are solely good people if they think murder is reasonable

Nearly every soldier rationalizes murder, and many still make it to Sunday services.
How many governments rationalizes mass murder for the cause.
i wonder how long untill they make it to the alcohol, tobacco, caffine, and sugar.
in many third world country's murder is just another way of life, this is just government support of it.

The bad part is Trump probably lauds the decision. And with Jeff Sessions, there's a chance this kind of memo can be adapted in the states. It's all related to one another. Too bad there's no connection with Portugal, where all "drugs" are "decriminalized".
