Trigger Happy

Garnet St., Ortigas Center.. 10:45 pm Police open fired and pounded three young men with bullets. Not satisfied with killing, still they continued firing upon their targets who seems already helpless and almost, lifeless. At these moments, things are very clear - cops didn't want to leave anybody alive. They're set to kill and terminate somebody. Awful as it may seem, this is how dangerous our policemen can be. They're supposed to protect people and yet, seeing them doing the direct contrary of the duty imposed upon their mandates seems disturbing yet somewhat ordinary. i don't sense any drip of onsiene or seond thought upon the ten TMG offiers who onduted the operation or shall I say the crime in Ortigas. This is what most of them are. Most, who are believing that to annihilate is better than to rehabilitate. Awful. Disturbing. Degrading. The only good thing that I found in this partiular incident is that the thing was caught on video by UNTV. It was peculiar though that the reason they have covered the incident is not because of scoop or what, but because they themselves have been victims of police harassment and that same night they were anticipating that the band of men waiting in front of their station was planning yet another action to maul their station. What a coincidence, the violated witnessed another violence where another is being violated! The bottomline, the president was mum about the issue because it would not profit her image at all. Unlike the other incident where she had thought at all that another terrorist was caught by policemen which was, as we all know, was only a case of mistaken identity, much to do with her shame - or none at all.
