In an event that human rights groups are calling "Bloody Sunday," at least nine left-wing activists and labor leaders were executed at their homes and offices this past weekend during a series of coordinated raids carried out jointly by the military and police in four provinces in the Calabarzon region of the Philippines, just two days after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered security forces to "finish off" communists in the country.
"I've told the military and the police that if they find themselves in an armed encounter with the communist rebels, kill them, make sure you really kill them and finish them off if they are alive," Duterte said Friday. "Just make sure to return their bodies to their respective families."
"Forget about human rights," the Philippine president continued. "That's my order. I'm willing to go to jail, that's not a problem. I do not have any qualms about doing the things that I have to do."
According to Phil Robertson, the deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), "It is not a coincidence that these deadly raids happened two days after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered police and military to 'kill all' communists and 'don't mind human rights.'"
I want to point out that this can only happen in a country with a partisan police force and military. The US is working on creating that right now. Won't be long before Americans are targeted by woke military and police forces.
Hell just two months ago there were plenty of people on this site that were sure the military would keep Trump in power, and one of the reasons given was because the military is decidedly Republican.

Let's not forget that Trump was a vocal supporter of Duterte and his approach to getting rid of "drug dealers."
