Thailand's policy of granting the police shoot-to-kill license against street pushers in the early years of the new millennium worked also. Why don't we copy that too, if lower metrics around overdoses and infections are sufficient motivation to make "radical" decisions?


Something about law, trial, human rights, western democracy. Pick any of the above and expand to prevent kill squads on the streets.

Rodrigo Duterte is proving why that method is terrible in 2017.


I was under the impression that anyone in the Philippines was encouraged to kill drug dealers, which just masks culture/sectarian clashes?

Police-only is much different. (Though still immoral IMO)
