Just got back from 3 months in Mindanao.
It is almost 100% people who refuse to stop at a police road block, people who pull a gun on the police while being arrested, and the drug networks killing each other off because they fear being ratted out by their peers. This is NOT random doors being kicked in by cops and murdering people.

And the numbers are not much different from prior years.

The sensationalist media is BULLSHIT.

Duterte is overwhelmingly supported by the Filipinos.

I beg to differ. DU30 is not overwhelmingly supported by the Filipinos. How is the 16 million who elected him overwhelming in a country counting more than 100 million people? He got exactly 39.01% of the votes and I sense a lot of buyer’s remorse around me....

Yes, the doors are not kicked in at random. The targets are found in a list and the police or paid vigilantes visit the “target’s” home. There are many reports documenting the killings of unarmed targets. Nobody knows exactly how many are shot due to the “target” drawing first. In any case it is troubling to see the suspicious low number of police being injured or killed in such raids.

There is nothing “sensationalist” with documenting DU30’s war against drugs. The people found dead in the streets with a piece of cardboard around their neck saying “drug dealer” are real.
