The Philippines, Duterte, also threatens the police: I'll kill you for the slightest mistake.

President Filipinas Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to kill corrupt police officers, including those accused of involvement in the trafficking of illegal drugs and other crimes, in a highly charged television statement. More than 100 policemen, most of whom have faced criminal and administrative complaints, such as rape, [...]

More than 100 policemen, most of whom have faced criminal and administrative complaints, such as rape, kidnapping and robbery, have been escorted to the presidential palace to meet with Duterten.

National police, which the president once called the corrupt “in each cell”, are subject to internal cleansing since the crackdown on drug traffickers last year, following abuse reports.

Duterte later allowed them to join the raids against drug traffickers, in part because the small agency in the number of Nardroga lacks personnel and shock forces to eliminate the drug threat.

If you're going to stay the way you are, you son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you, and I'm going to kill you”, Duterte told the cops during the live broadcast speech by local television networks.

Several police cases are being revised, but Duterte warned that “represents a special unit that will see them forever and, if they make even a minor mistake, then he would require their execution”.

Speaking in front of the police members, Duterte added to his attack. If these sons of bitches are going to die, then don't come to us to complain about human rights, because I'm warning you”

Such public threats, add that more than 4,500 drug suspects, mainly poor people, who have been killed during armed battles with police during the Duterte drug war, have raised the alarm between Western governments and human rights monitors since his coming to power in mid - 2016.

Duterte has pledged to continue his campaign until the last day of his six-year mandate, often claiming he is willing to go even to prison, even though he denies ordering extrajudgment killings.

Police report that nearly 150 thousand drug-related suspects have been arrested, while dozens of law enforcement agencies have been killed during the raids, stressing once again the risk of fighting illegal drugs, which remains a major problem in the Philippines.
