BRUTAL POLICE AND PSG RESPONSE!

I just saw this off of JuanCountry.com and then the corresponding photos from the linked Facebook album.

From JuanCountry.com
Here’s a picture of the PSG dragging the chairperson of the UP-CSWCD Student Council by the hair. Picture taken by Alanah Torralba.
PNP couldn’t find weapons so they decided to get the steel railings so that they could bash this guy in for good. Photo by Aaron Favila.
Apparently they got tired of using the steel railings so they decided to bring out their guns. Picture by Danny Boy Pata.
And here I thought Randy Orton was the only guy who would kick a man on the head while he’s down. Photo from Danny Boy Pata.


And I quote from JuanCountry.

I understand that the PSG and the PNP had to move against the demonstration since they were already inside the Palace grounds and they had no permit but they could have done this in a more civil manner.

However, I am in no way condoning the actions of the students as well. If they really wanted to stage a rally, they should have secured the necessary permits. Going inside Malacanang and suddenly staging a rally is just asking for it. I hate to say this but they were really inviting trouble the moment they went into the Palace with a plan to do a sudden rally.

Regardless of what happened, I still condemn the violence committed by the PSG and PNP. I hope that the policemen and the PSG members caught on camera doing these despicable acts will be fired and then jailed. The pictures speak for themselves.

I totally agree with what this 100%... the students that went there with no permit and stormed the palace grounds were really asking for it. But there is no excuse for the kind of brutality that the PSG and police showed.

And what really sent shivers down my spine were the similarities of today's happenings and the pre-Martial Law events. I know I wasn't even around then or too young to really experience them first hand, but I've read and seen a lot of the remakes and documentaries on Dekada 70 already to know that this isn't right. My Tita even commented that this was just like the First Quarter Storm right before Martial Law happened.

All I can say now is... God help us all.
