Hi ED,
THANKS FOR THE E MAIL. I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU MY SON'S EXPERIENCE WITH THE
MANILA POLICE LAST WEDNESDAY EVENING AT ABOUT 10PM.
CHRISTIAN WENT TO THE CONDO AT THE CORNER OF VITO CRUZ AND TAFT AVE. TO
RETURN HIS COUSIN'S LAPTOP. HE HANDED THE LAPTOP TO HIS COUSIN AND WENT
BACK TO THE CAR. WHEN HE GOT TO THE CAR, THERE WAS A COP WHO ASKED HIM WHAT
HE WAS DOING THERE; WHY HE WAS PARKED ON A NO PARKING AREA. CHRISTIAN
SAID, IF IT WERE A NO PARKING AREA WHY IS IT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF CARS
PARKED.
THE COP TOLD HIM TO OPEN HIS TRUNK AND CHRIS ASKED, WHY? DO YOU HAVE A
WARRANT? ANYWAY, THE CAR DOORS AND WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND ANOTHER COP
SEARCHED THE INTERIOR WHILE ANOTHER OPENED THE TRUNK.
IN THE TOOLBOX THEY FOUND THE PLASTIC END OF SPARK PLUGS. THE COP SAID IT
WAS A PARAPHARNALIA. THE SAME COP BROUGHT TO THE TRUNK USED PLASTIC
SACHETS OF SHABU AND STARTED TO SHOUT 'DRUGS 'TO!', 'DRUGS!'
SO THEY TOOK CHRISTIAN, TO THE ATM OF BPI. THEY SAW HIS CARD AND ASKED HIM
TO WITHDRAW ALL HIS MONEY. FORTUNATELY HE DOES NOT KEEP HIS MONEY THERE.
ONLY HIS SALARY IS DEPOSITED THERE. SO THE COPS WE INSISTED THAT HE WAS A
DRUG USER. AND MY SON WAS SAYING DO A TEST NOW SO THEY'LL SEE IF HE'S
POSITIVE. HE SAID I CAN'T WORK IN MANDARIN AS A CHEF IF I'M A DRUG USER.
HE SAID HE HAD TO GET POLICE, NBI, BARANGAY, COURT AND MEDICAL CLEARANCE
BEFORE HE COULD START WORKING.
THEN THE POLICE TOOK HIM TO POLICE HEAD-QUARTERS AT UN AVE. AND THERE
FORCED HIM TO EAT SHABU. IT TOOK A WHILE BEFORE HE ATE IT. SIX COPS WERE
PUNCHING HIM AND SCARING HIM WITH THEIR GUNS UNTIL THE POOR GUY PEED IN HIS
PANTS OUT OF FEAR. HE HAD TO SWALLOW THE DRUG. THEN THE COPS STARTED TO
LAUGH. NOW WE'LL SEE IF YOU ARE NEGATIVE OF SHABU. '200,000PHP AND WE'LL
LET YOU GO OR THIS WILL BE AT THE FISCALS OFFICE IN THE MORNING. CALL YOUR
FRIENDS AND PARENTS.
THIS ORDEAL STARTED AT 10PM. HE WAS ABLE TO CALL ME AT 5AM THE FOLLOWING
DAY. POOR SON OF MINE WAS REALLY TRAUMATIZED. A FRIEND OF HIS CAME WITH
TWENTY THOUSAND THE COPS GRABBED IT AND LET HIM GO AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.
I WAS IN LIPA ALL THE TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING. CHRIS LATER FOUND OUT FROM
HIS COUSIN THAT SEVEN OF HER FRIENDS WERE ALSO APPREHENDED BY THE SAME
GROUP OF COPS AND ALSO TOOK THEM TO THEIR ATM'S. THEY GOT ALL THEIR MONEY
IN THE ACCOUNT. THIS COP IS CAPT.MENDOZA OF THE MOBIL GROUP AND SARGENT
GAVINO. IF YOU GUYS KNOW INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE, PLEASE LET
THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE FOR THEM TO RETURN THE MONEY THEY
TOOK FROM MY SON SO HE COULD GIVE IT BACK TO HIS FRIEND.
THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS SO CALLED POLICE OFFICERS THE BETTER. THIS
IS THE TYPE OF GOVERNMENT THAT WE HAVE NOW. DISARM THE POPULATION AND THIS
TYPE OF ABUSE HAPPENS. THANKS AND PASS IT ON. BOB
