COPS on the field should be mandated to first use sticks and whistles to avoid an easy resort to guns, following the “unintended” killings of two teenagers by Metro Manila policemen, said Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, a former National Police chief turned lawmaker.
In his opening statement at the hearing, Dela Rosa recalled telling the PNP chief in Filipino while they were riding the elevator, “Don’t wait for us to legislate that . . . You take proactive measures to change the protocols to avoid similar incidents” Dela Rosa could not hide his disgust on Tuesday as he noted a second death of a teenager in police hands: a 15-year-old boy in Rodriguez, Rizal, who was shot dead outside his house by a policeman who opened fire on his elder brother.
“Instead of using first the non-lethal approach, they chose to use the most lethal approach. Shouldn’t the force continuum [policy] entail first the non-lethal, then less-lethal, then lethal approach?” Dela Rosa, himself a former PNP chief, asked.
