Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday ordered police in his country that it is OK to kill "idiots" who violently resist arrest, just two days after hundreds turned a funeral of a slain teenager into a protest against his deadly war on drugs.

“Your duty requires you to overcome the resistance of the person you are arresting... (if) he resists, and it is a violent one... you are free to kill the idiots, that is my order to you,” Duterte told Chief Jovie Espenido.

Just seems odd that a country that has outlawed capital punishment through the court system seems perfectly fine with allowing police the ability to kill anyone they wish. At least before they had to pretend it was drug related, now they can just say the person was resisting arrest.
