Violent dispersal ordered by MPD exec - Inquirer
Pity the poor rallyists who were injured and/or who were forcibly dispersed by elements of MPD. They could not be faulted. The rallyists had no permit and were seen to be using force against force vs their statement that they would be leaving soon.
The police acted differently after CI Marcelino Pedrozo gave a pep talk to his men that they are more powerful and should not be subdued. This could have started the melee. Thereafter the police van dispersed the rallyists.
If you recall Pres. DU30 in his speech before several groups of policemen, that when when they are to arrest the drug suspect, they must subdue and overpower the suspect. And force must be used (perhaps even deadly force)
The minions could have mindlessly understood this and employed the same admonition in dealing with rallyists. Pity the poor police officers who were relieved for doing what they thought was in compliance with directives of their commander in chief and director general. The thing here is that the leftss are on the side of DU30
We should fear the increasing power of the police vs the civilians who are very much militarized in the their mindset and operations The senators and other govt officials keep on reminding us of this growing threat which must be checked.
PAANO NA?
