THE COPS AND THE CARNAPPERS

I've seen the news last night. And it really was inhuman. I've seen a lot of these incidents on TV. Questions were asked like was it a rub out or shoot out? Just like last night. I've seen it on TV. The suspects were already captured and gunned down inside the car they have stolen. But what's irritating and disturbing is that when the police authorities came closer and inspected the car. The wounded suspects are obviously incapable of escaping or even shoot their guns at the policemen.

As seen on TV Patrol, one of the policemen pulled a wounded suspect out and shut him again and gunned again the other suspects inside the car. The QCPD said they will not cover up for their cops. Investigation and fact finding teams were set to be organized. I really hope these authorities would really conduct their investigation without bias and truth and justice would prevail. The Commission on Human Rights and national Police Commission have watched the Video from ABS CBN. Even these departments were alarmed about the the incidents they were seeing. It's obvious that these policement have abused their power.

They might be the suspects. They might have criminal liabilities. But they weren't animals. Their bodies were full of bullets. The policemen should have brought the wounded suspects to the hospital to even save their lives. And if the policemen's concern is not the lives of these suspects they should have saved the lives of these carnappers for proper execution of the law and interrogation. How would they trace the other suspects who have escaped the fangs of these evil policemen? It is clear that they are not cognizant of the law. Ignorantia Legis Non Excusat. They are clearly liable not only to the law but to the families of the suspects turned victims of police brutality.
