At least that is less than 6500 addicts and pushers in the street that will likely do crime, or kill someone who is innocent. A lot of crimes in Philippines is because of people who are under the influence of drugs. They will mug you in the dark alley, and if you fight them, you are automatically dead. They don't select victims, whether you are young or old, the victims have human rights too, but they are already dead so where is the victims human rights there?
Are you sure that all these 6,500 people were actually drug addicts? There were media reports that at least some of them were innocent bystanders. Also, what was the need to kill them all? I thought that putting them in de-addiction centers would be a much better option.
Not all of them are addicts, some of them are just bystanders, there are even children who were hit by stray bullets from police. It is avoidable if they are carefully planning all their raids and not just after the merit that they will receive after accomplishing their task.
I just hope that this next one is not as bloody as before. Just like how the PDEA do it.
