Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is lucky he’s not an elected official in the United States. His pro-cop — or anti-criminal, depending on your viewpoint — perspective is simply far too extreme for an American audience.
Here in the United States, one is presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a mandatory court of law. This basic tenant of our justice system is paramount to our identity as a country.
But some people — particularly on the left — have taken their search for justice a bit too far. They have saddled law enforcement so much, cops are being attacked for shooting armed suspects now. If that suspect happens to be black? Forget about it. There will be riots in the streets.
The same can’t be said in the Philippines. Not if Duetre gets his way, anyway.
This week, the forceful Philippines president issued his strongest words yet on the matter of police force.
See what he said on the next page:
If the drug cartel and all the drug trafficers’ were killed it would be right. They have killed so many with their drugs and ruined complete families. I would not feel sorry for any of them. know the Bible says “Thou shalt not kill” but these people get away with it every day.
Buying and using drugs is victimless. Nobody is hurt outside of their consent. When you violently prohibit their use, trade, and possession via violence, the natural repercussion is defense against that violence.
We need him here

good man. heroin has exploded here. so has meth. I agree with him.
unfortunately doctors are having a hard time treating the chronically ill now. even nursing home bed ridden patients are taken since a month by ambulance to get meds for one month. this is even happening to cancer patients. I know these laws are designed to help but its hurting the chronically sick and helping the heroin and meth explosion get even bigger.
Aggressive people understand aggression, the man is right. He is cleaning the place up.
