WOW: New Philippine President Urges Public To KILL This Type Of Person
The new President the Philippines is turning heads with his new initiative to help in his was against crime. Do you think that this is a good idea?
Newly elected president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte has encouraged his countrymen to shoot and kill drug dealers and fight back in their neighbourhoods.
The president-elect urged the public to help in his war against crime in return for rewards, speaking during a televised speech on Saturday.
The 71-year-old told a crowd in the southern city of Davao they would be compensated. A precedent has already been set by a mayor who gave police more than £2,000 for killing drug traffickers.
The city’s most famous son said: ‘Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun — you have my support.
‘If a drug dealer resists arrest or refuses to be brought to a police station and threatens a citizen with a gun or a knife, you can kill him… Shoot him and I’ll give you a medal.’
Duterte’s warning comes as the country faces an extensive illegal drug trade where even the police are involved.
He gave his advice after winning the May 9 presidential election on a bold promise to end crime and corruption within six months of the start of his presidency.
That vow resonated among crime-weary Filipinos, though police officials considered it campaign rhetoric that was impossible to accomplish.
