Im just starting this page as I was developing this over at the page on death squads but I believed it was getting too big and needs a page on its own. Ill be expanding this page significantly over the next few days.Susanbryce 17:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Supposedly" "allegedly" in lede

[edit]

Why? I don't think this is the regular way this would be written about. Human Rights Watch, I would have thought, is generally viewed as a credible source. I guess I might change it if I don't hear anything much here.

P.S. - not that it makes that much difference here in this article - the (appalling) fact of the murders by "death squads" is not really questioned. (whoever it is in detail - I've read articles on the murders under the Duterte Presidency where people where interviewed that basically operated ~ as individuals, and received bounties or something along those line)

I agree that "supposedly" in the lede is out of place, and comes with a connotation that may even not have been intended. I have made a go at updating the lede to strike a more neutral tone. Magic1million (talk) 18:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Duterte's "constant denial" of involvement?

[edit]

There's a paragraph in section 5.1 that reads:

"However, despite his earlier statements of support for the extrajudicial killing of criminals, Duterte has constantly denied any involvement in the death squad.(reference)"

I suppose there isn't enough context in this video to link Duterte to the death squad? Icedwater (talk) 08:44, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
