Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday threatened to kill corrupt police, including those accused of involvement in illegal drugs and other crimes, in an expletives-laden encounter on live TV.

More than 100 police officers, many of them facing administrative and criminal complaints including rape, kidnapping and robbery, were escorted to the presidential palace to meet Duterte, police officials said.

The national police force, which Duterte once called "corrupt to the core," has been undergoing an internal cleansing since being removed twice from the president's crackdown on illegal drugs last year due to reports of abuses. Duterte later allowed them to rejoin drug raids, partly because the small lead anti-narcotics agency lacks personnel and firepower to quell the drug menace.

"If you'll stay like this, son of a bitch, I will really kill you," Duterte told the policemen in the dressing-down broadcast by local TV networks.

The cases of some of the officers will be reviewed, but Duterte warned, "I have a special unit which will watch you for life and if you commit even a small mistake, I'll ask that you be killed."

I've seen Shaggy/Surly types advocate for making corrupt cops here in the USA liable for damages payable from their pension funds and such, but damn.  Duterte isn't fucking around (or so it would seem).

Duterte also gave people authorization to kill anyone deemed a drug addict or dealer. So...

duterte's killed a lot of people, not just during his tenure as president.  he runs that country the escobar way.  

Wonder what Bernard’s or Pilot’s Error’s opinion are?

So are they gonna gain all the weight back after the Duterte diet is over?  Probably twice as fat huh?

Man I lived in Turkey in the 90s, that place was an outstanding mix of culture, food, people and overall reasonably safe for foreigners.

I practically lived in the Phils in the late 2000s and while the food was mostly awful, the culture and people were a blast, and even in sketchy parts of Manila, Cebu, Bacolod, etc it felt reasonably safe as a foreigner...with touristy places like Boracay begging you to visit.

Turkey has almost done a 180 under hardline leadership and it’ll suck if the Phils do the same (outside of the radically different south).
