Wazzup Pilipinas!
"Misencounter" between police and PDEA agents left 2 dead and 4 injured.
Both camps say they were conducting legitimate operation when the shootout happened.
Questions on how the gunfight between law enforcers happened remain unanswered, but both the PNP and the PDEA said they coordinated.
PNP claims PDEA agents fired first.
This is something for the books.
PDEA name is self explanatory. PNP cops, including the dead, were in anti-narcotics work.
BOTH claimed legitimate operations — in the same place, at the same time.
Ayokong isipin na genius ang target(s) nila.
It's another misencounter of the fascist state security forces.
Before it was AFP vs PNP. now it's PDEA vs PNP.
PNP always involved.
Years past Duterte’s “three to six months” promise, the PNP and PDEA still say they don’t know how to do their job. And take note, they have billions of intelligence funds in their arsenal ah.
Billions of intelligence fund and you will hear this bloody news between PDEA and PNP?
So PDEA got catfished by PNP in Ever Gotesco? Billions of Intelligence fund with but with tinder-like surveillance. Poor civilians and casualties. Kaka-NPA at red tag niyo yan. Shoot to kill mentality on the roll.
Civilian safety compromised because of a shootout between the PNP & the PDEA. Some officers dead. This is a huge crack in the administration’s continuing attempt to paint the drug problem as the biggest threat to Filipinos— see, corruption & incompetence are deadlier than others.
No full story yet but obviously it is between our beloved two civil-servants in uniform. I feel sorry for the bereaved and the civilians traumatized there but we can talk about coordination, ayt?
Long story short PDEA performed a legitimate buy-bust operation against drug pushers who also happen to be QCPD police officers.
Things got heated when the undercover PDEA agent revealed themselves to arrest them but the police officer opened fire (out of fear lmao).
During the crossfire, both parties called for back up. But soon PDEA operatives found themselves being outnumbered by QCPD and the tides turned where it ended up that they were ones who were wrangled, forced to face the ground, beaten and finally arrested.
I don't believe that the QCPD had a 'sell-bust' operation lmao. Not only is that illegal constitutionally, but it also doesnt make sense. I feel like they were caught with their pants down and had to scramble for a fucking stupid excuse.
And a stupid excuse it was.
That neighborhood has always been the fucking turf of the police for years. They even set up a station there.
So this makes it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that drug dealing has been happening in that area for a larger part of a DECADE by the police.
Before police could even conduct a drug bust operation they first have to seek permission and coordination with PDEA. That's standard protocol lmao.
So its so inconcievable that PDEA are in the wrong here. They are the ones who have the papers to show. QCPD do not.
But the QCPD showed documents showing they did make coordinations with PDEA. And so the plot thickens.
What is important now is that the truth be known and divulged to the public no matter what. Please do away with narratives that are meant only to sanitize incompetence or corruption of agencies. Sana walang mga Padrino na eepal.
PDEA chief Wilkins Villanueva says an informant died in the shootout between PDEA agents and police personnel on Wednesday. The death toll rises to four – two cops, one PDEA agent, and one informant.
I think this isn't a misencounter. A govt agency really did encounter a criminal enterprise moonlighting as a government agent.
Reminded by a former government official that prior to 2016, PDEA computerized its coordination mechanism precisely to avoid “misencounters” on the ground since drug enforcement officers of PDEA, PNP, and NBI conducting casing/surveillance that are not in uniform. What happened?
The shootout between PDEA and the PNP manifests how fucked up the drug war is.
We have trigger-happy law enforcers who have no coordination with each other on drug operations despite being part of agencies with the biggest budget allocations. They were victims of their own mess.
We demand the immediate sacking of PNP Chief Debold Sinas and PDEA Director General Wilkins Villanueva. They have full command responsibility on the shootout/misencounter between their units.
Duterte's dirty drug war, Oplan Tokhang led to this freak misencounter.
