To Serve and To Protect

Six days before Christmas, another disturbing videos shares in social media. Involving a policeman in a murderous crime caught on cam. 

According to the news the confrontation started with  a "boga" a filipino improvised "kanyon" made by  pvc pipe  to create  a loud noise in celebrating the new year's eve .  "I'm just not sure if it's already prohibited. " and eventually to an unfinished issue about the right of way in their neighborhood. 

But the story turns into a monstrous attack of the abusive official using his own  service firearm to a civilian, An old mother together with her son. 

When  the policeman pulled the trigger directly to their heads twice and another gun shot even they're  already dead on the floor that resulted to a double murder case against the said policeman residing in Paniqui, Tarlac Philippines.  

This crime witnessed by many people. and worst, infront of the policeman's young daughter without showing of  any doubts  or  remorse in her  face . 

It seems like it's a normal thing to his  daughter to see that  kind of violence.

This is the effect, if we encourages  the police to kill  and we  promote impunity in the society. " tapos pati utak ng mga tao, nagiging berdugo na din. " 

Then gusto nyo mawala na ang Human Rights? 

"Trabaho ng mga pulis na protektahan ang mga tao sa mga kriminal at pang aabuso at 

trabaho naman ng " Human Rights ang bantayan ang mga mapang abusong autoridad.." 

Who do you call, when the police murders? When the authorities abuses their powers?
