MANILA, Philippines – An innocent individual has been killed by cops who did not follow police procedures on pursuing suspects.
According to Umipig, the police were looking for suspects of a shooting incident in Barangay NBBS Kaunlaran on August 2. A suspect had escaped, and during the cops’ follow-up operation, they received information that the suspect allegedly boarded a boat. The police underwent inquest proceedings before the Navotas City prosecutor’s office. The family filed a homicide complaint against the six cops. Baltazar’s friend served as a witness in the case.
Rule 6.2 of the Philippine National Police operations manual encourages the use of megaphones and similar instruments during actual police operations “to warn or influence the offender/s or suspect/s to stop and/or peacefully give up.” Rule 6.3 prohibits the use of warning shots.
