i also just want to put light upon the police brutality happening in the Philippines. SINCE 2016, thousands of Filipinos were killed by the police by mere suspicion of “using drugs”. This was ordered by the current President of the Philippines for his project “war on drugs”
Kian De Los Santos was one of the victims. A 17 year old student who was murdered in cold blood, he begged the cops saying, “Tama na po, May test pa ako bukas” (Please stop, I still have a test tomorrow.) before being shot. https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/amp.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/217663-timeline-justice-trial-kian-delos-santos

There are many cases that I can’t add in this thread, however I hope this justifies why we need to put a stop on the terror bill. It will only enable more of these brutalities and help the law enforcement abuse their power more. Allowing them the excuse to put arrest without
warrant to people due to mere suspicion IS THE LAST THING WE NEED. We’ve learned enough from the war on drugs. Please help us raise awareness and sign some petitions. https://junkterrorbill.carrd.co/
