Shoot out in Manila ( Wild, Wild West?)
« on: December 06, 2008, 08:24:42 PM »
From CNN online news
MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- Gunmen armed with automatic weapons and grenades fired on Philippine police officers who were tailing them, leaving at least 16 people dead in a fierce shootout in a Manila suburb on Saturday.

Officers were following suspected members of a robbery gang when the gunmen sensed the surveillance and opened fire, triggering the gunfight late Friday near a residential subdivision in suburban Paranaque city, metropolitan Manila police chief Leopoldo Bataoil said.

He said the gunmen, some armed with M-16 rifles fitted with grenade launchers, thought they had been cornered and fired at everyone in sight.

"When they found out they were being trailed ... they went berserk," he said. "They fired all around, including at a flammable tanker beside a warehouse."

Among those killed were people nearby, including a man and his 7-year-old daughter who were sitting inside their car, were also killed.

Authorities earlier had received a tip that the group was planning to rob the warehouse, and police deployed dozens of police around the area to apprehend the suspects, according to Bataoil.

He said at least three of the gunmen were able to escape in a car they commandeered after firing a grenade at a gatehouse at the entrance to the community, wounding two guards.

Three police officers were also wounded, he said.

Bataoil said investigators believe the assailants belonged to a violent gang whose members have posed as police officers, adding that two of the slain gunmen were found wearing police-style bulletproof vests.

The group has been blamed for the killing of bank teller and two guards of an armored truck that was picking up money from a bank on the University of the Philippines campus last month.

Bataoil said he has ordered an investigation into the deaths of the civilians, particularly the man and his daughter.

This sounds like something you would hear in the streets of LA with the LA gangs.

if this country continued executing criminals by firing squard on a sunday afternoon at the luneta, an incident like this wouldn't have happened.

this has been shown on tv on all channels... sad thing is that a father and daughter were killed during the shootout, and there are people who claim to have seen 7 to 8 policemen shoot at the crosswind the father and daughter were riding in. obviously a case of mistaken identity. it appears that one of the getaway vehicles of the suspected holduppers and the vehicle the father and daughter were riding in had the same color. looy kaayo ang seven-year-old na bata ug iyang papa, nabiktima sa mga praning nga pulis.

i read in a national paper yesterday, naa na man daw info/tip ang mga pulis regarding adtong mga tawhana. it was a perfect operation turned mad. nonetheless, laudable.

ang pangutana nganung niabot pa man adtong hitaboa? dihay nangaangol.

there was a rather comprehensive coverage of the incident in the sunday issue, (dec. 7) of the PDI... that's right, it was a planned robbery operation gone bad. police got a tip about their plan and went to the scene to verify. when the robbers saw the police, they panicked and started shooting and what's when the running gunbattle started. initially the police counted 10 dead from the suspectedd robbers side and 5 civilians nga nadamay lang. the police said the robbers fired indiscriminately at anybody that came their way (perhaps to pre-empt that they might have been responsible for the civilian casualty). there are reports of witnesses who are willing to testify that it was a group of special action forces (SAF) who shot dead the father and his 7 year old daughter who was riding a red crosswind. apparently police thought they were the robbers who were reported to be riding in a red toyota revo... police should have checked who was inside the crosswind. both passengers were riding in the front seat and were fairly visible. (if bystanders could see the father and daughter as they watched from a distance as they sought cover from the line of gunfire, how much more for police who were posted right around the vehicle)? nag dinanghag na pud ang police.

Ang nakakuyaw karon, balita nga ang pulis sa Pinas mahilig mag-shabu!  Drug tests must be implemented to make sure that they are not a bunch of crazy cowboys.

i think they are required to undergo drugtests every year manay tess. the problem is its easy how to get around with the technicalities of the requirement. what they did usually is to use samples from other policemen who are clean..

that's right, the police is very good at getting around to technicalities. llike for example the shooting incident that's being mentioned here. there are witnesses who are willing to testify before any probe body that they saw SAF personnel shoot at the red crosswind the father and daughter were riding in, the police hierarchy is saying that they will base their conclusion according to the results of the ballistic test that will be performed on the firearms of the cops that were used in that incident. well, i'd say this is elementary stuff for police to get around: all they need to do is submit police firearms that WERE NOT used in that particular incident, and becomes certain that the ballistic test will yield negative results. then using this document, the police will tell the public that it was not police personnel who killed the innocent civilians, and thus get themselves off the hook.

Yeah but it was sort of over looked as I was in Manila 6-9 of Dec, and the papers are currently plugged with Pacman news at present from the front page to the back page.

I was able to read about it in the inside cover of the Manila Journal.

If anyone out there is doing drugs and I hope your not and its in your sytem but you want to better your lives pot can stay in your system for days.

Just take a natural pill sold in local health stores how the mill men did in my town and drink the pills prior to taking your P---- test because the one I will suggest will hide it in the test results.

The name is "Golden Root Seal".
