Statement of CHR Spokesperson Atty. Jacqueline de Guia on the President’s remarks to Ninja Cops

Ninja cops or scalawags in the police force, the Commission agrees, are a disgrace to the institution and therefore, must be removed from the service. However, like any human being, their lives are priceless too and should not be equated to any amount, however low or exorbitant it may be. Their removal from service must not be by death which promotes vigilantism and perpetuates the cycle of violence, worse the breakdown of the rule of law but by due process which will afford them recognition of their rights. Affording them due process and their constitutional rights is by no means tolerance of their wrong doings nor acquiescence thereto but rather adhering to time honored principles of respect for human rights and the rule of law.
