15th August 2000 A man lies down to die. He is strapped to a bed and his left arm is punctured with a crude yet fatal drip. He is not alone. Over 1300 prisoners in the Philippines are on death row, awaiting their lethal injection. Among them are women and even children. The rising number of executions is part of a crackdown on crime -- Zero Tolerance Filipino style. The man in charge of this campaign is Ping Lacson of the Philippines National Police. He was nick-named Dirty Harry when he broke a big gang of Manila bank robbers and took no prisoners. Instead eleven suspects were shot dead in suspicious circumstances. "I would rather be feared than loved ... as long as I get things done", he says. And he is getting things done. In his first six months petty crime is down 30 percent and drug arrests have doubled. While politicians score points, human rights activists and leaders of the Catholic Church call for an abolition of the death penalty. Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

Nov 14, 2011 - @KingRooney89 Should the warden be shot by someone else? What if the person did not do it? Who is the god here? big bad wolf gov? Your concept of absolute justice is so real that it's so unreal, if u know that I meant.

Nov 19, 2011 - It's not just some Policemen involve in crimes in the Philippines. Cleaning the whole organisation will help boost the country's image and be safe to conduct business and walk freely without the fear of being robbed, mugged etc..

Dec 5, 2011 - @KingRooney89 And what if you've got the wrong person? Happens all the time.
KingRooney89 Says:
Dec 6, 2011 - @herpderp020 Beyond reasonable doubt comes into play and its for this very reason why judicial systems around the world need to improve when finding the real killer EVERY time and not just the majority.

Dec 19, 2011 - @KingRooney89 So If I kill you and I go to jail for It and I get the Death Penalty and an Officer kills me who WILL SHOOT THE OFFICER THA KILLED ME AND WHO WILL SHOOT THE OFFICER WHO KILLED THE OFFICER THAT KILLED ME .... JUSTICE WOULD MEAN THAT THE KILLING WOULDNT TAKE AN END UNTIL THE HUMAN RACE DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE

Jan 9, 2012 - @freetaiwanblog uh you are aware this is a documentary from the 90's right? the death penalty has been banned in the philippines since 2006, in fact the maximum sentence for prisoners now is 40 years with the chance at parole in 20 years.

richipooo Says:
Jan 29, 2012 - Capital punishment in the Philippines has a varied history and was abolished on June 24, 2006 (the second time since 1987). Filipinos have mixed opinions about the death penalty, with many opposing it on religious and humanitarian grounds, while others advocate it as a way of deterring crimes.
