So let's have a breakdown of what happened- which part of it was venial, what went wrong and why should you be bothered

Based on Revised PNP Operating Procedures (2013)

-A thread for the justice of Cpl Winston Ragos-

#JusticeForWinstonRagos
Excusable: Our idea of what happened prior to the shooting is lacking but clearly the police stopped him because he was suspicious. (10.1. a)
Pero
Kung nagiisip sila dapat
Body frisk/ Pat-down search (10.1.b)

"Dapat kinapkapan mo muna"
Pero tinutukan agad.
So ayun na nga tinutukan na, that's when everything went downhill, nakalimot na ang mga magagaling na pulis na ito magisip.

1. There was no concise verbal warning. Walang paguusap.
And no it should not be excusable kasi there was no clear threat yet.
2. At sige, di siya sumunod at suspicious siya pero this is what they should have done.

Use non-lethal weapon
3. PeRo tHrEaTeNiNg sIyA

People around the police were saying to stop and to don't shoot yet what did the pulis patola said?

"wala akong pake kung may armas siya o wala"

Clearly not following the procedures re application of necessary and reasonable force.
4. It wAs ReAsoNabLe

So let's take a look at when can it be called reasonable, and let's check kung reasonable nga ba

May sinasakmal ba siya o nakatutuok na yung weapon sa pulis?
Yung lugar at oras ba?
May armas ba talaga siya?

Wala.
pero wala din nga daw siyang pake
5. tHaT wAs SeLf DeFenSe

Sabi nga ng iba, wala daw tayong alam sa field mga marz at justified daw yung pag babarilin siya.

But is using of firearm justified when the peril sought to be avoided was not ACTUAL, IMMINENT and REAL?
The police acted on impulse disregarding all the trainings, procedures, and most importantly, the dignity of the person.

Hearing that somebody mentioned to the police that Cpl Ragos has PTSD and yet they still shot him.

The apathy is just unnerving.
This is mainly the reason why we should be bothered.

The ones who are supposed to be protecting us, simply don't care unless it would stroke their egos, and just abusing power for personal gain.
