Philippine leader makes threats on live TV to kill corrupt police
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday threatened to kill corrupt police in an expletives-laden encounter on live TV. More than 100 police, many facing administrative and criminal complaints including rape, kidnapping and robbery, were escorted to the presidential palace to meet Duterte. 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.”
