Inexcusable!

Police Report [Edit]

According to the official police report, at around 8:45 p.m, Delos Santos tried to flee when he noticed the police officers approaching him. He then drew his gun and "directly shot" towards the police, which prompted PO3 Arnel Oares to fire back in self-defense, killing Delos Santos. The pistol, cartridges, and two sachets of methamphetamine were then found in Delos Santos's possession.

The above didn't happen,you actually see the boy being dragged away to the alley in a headlock to bump up the numbers of "addicts" being killed.Lots of discrepancies in the story.

Delos Santos's uncle, Randy, questioned the police claim that the victim had a concealed firearm, since his nephew was wearing boxers at that time. [3] Delos Santos's father, Saldy, also pointed out that the pistol was recovered from the left hand of his otherwise right-handed son.

Far more inexcusable is the murder of a child period! Forget indignation at the besmirchment of someones integrity, kid wouldn't have been killed if Duterte hadn't given carte blanche to plod AND promised to serve their jail time for them if any were prosecuted for extra judicial killings. He is now backtracking on that promise as usual. Lots of collateral damage in a war like this, just another casualty that would have been swept under the carpet were it not for the CCTV. How many other innocents have gotten a .45 in the nut?

... terribly sad ANY child being gunned down [for whatever motive(s)!] But, of course, there again ... ... in fairness to > Duterte, < he'd made it abundantly clear - to his political rivals & supporters alike - that ... "pushers" caught dealing in illegal drugs would be shown NO mercy! And that was BEFORE he was overwhelmingly elected. So, ... where, in goodness name, has he backtracked? Indeed, he has since met with the murdered boy's grief~stricken parents - pledging to bring those rogue police officers responsible for their son's killing to justice.

pledging to bring the police officers responsible for their son's killing to justice.

That's the back-track right there Arthur, right there. First he gives carte blanche and says no officer will serve time for extra judicial killings and he himself will happily sit in a cell and do the time any officer should get Now he pledges to bring them to justice That is the back-track right there, or should I say back-peddle. He is the causation of this, stemming way back to the DDS days, the 17 year old isn't the youngest murdered, there's been a 4 year old and 2 five year olds. Duterte has seen the CCTV footage that's whats made him pledge to bring the cops to justice. Quite embarrassing for him, bet they all wished the footage never existed. As for visiting the parents of the murdered boy, guilty conscience is what I would say. Then I thought Conscience?? Perhaps not maybe he just realised the crap-storm this could cause, presidential damage limitation exercise with 3 cops stupidly caught on camera that must be sacrificed to the wolves so the show can continue.
