From an Affidavit of a Death Squad Leader In the beginning, we targeted and killed drug addicts, drug pushers, snatchers, holduppers, and other criminals. Later on, however, we were ordered by Mayor Duterte to go after and kill his personal and political enemies. We became like hired or contract killers who killed not only criminals but innocent people. —Police officer and self-described death squad leader, Makati City, February 19, 2017
