The Philippine Government has declared War on DRUGS since the election of a New President sometime last year.  Many have surrendered due to fear of death while others fought the government about it.  The result is blatantly bloody. Thousand has already lost their lives,  many were widowed and children orphaned.   Today, there is at least 3,000 plus killed from police operations and another of about 4,000 due to extrajudicial killings.  A warning has already sent to all, but only a few have listened or adhere to it... To you, is killing pushers and users alike a good way to stop the proliferation of Drugs... Are you in favor of the way to fight drugs???

How can you say that the 4,000 cases are extrajudicial killings if those are still on investigation? Haven't it occurred to you that most of those deaths are caused by bigger drug lords trying to eliminate competition and getting rid of rats? Significant drop on crime rates means the war on drugs is effective, collateral damages will always be there but the ends justifies the means. You mentioned 3000+ killed on police operations, they had it long coming.
