Clermont Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Yeah your right Jack, the world news is full of rubbish like this, not only the PI's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 1 hour ago, Dave Hounddriver said: excessive force, sometimes resulting in death. Not really comparable to "first degree murder". Yes, third world police are corrupt beyond belief and often take the law into their own hands. And looking at the current situation in first world nations, they'd be better off if some of their officers would do the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't base my entire life on what local police do, and if you think it's only what 'I think', re-read the first post of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should write a book about your great world travels. Me im happy and fine here.. but it doesnt stop me from seeing and commenting and criticising that thats available for all to see. Imagine how the the parents of the 15 years old who was killed by the police on whom she had reported rape felt. And yes Ive been an expat for 38 years. And have about 15 years here on and off. Then again, Im alright Jack . Thank goodness we all see the world differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuya John Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 With recent events in Mindanao previously to this tragedy, one can't be blamed for thinking, can I really trust that justice will prevail. Right now most western countries are seeing escalating examples of violence erupting on both sides, including police in many cases. However Philippines has in my experience, has always kept a strong hold on it's population, though things are now changing through social media, more social injustice is being high-lighted. Those in-powered will be made more accountable for their actions in the future. If justice is not seen to be fair and unrest becomes the norm, you can expect a whole lot worse to start happening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
