Despite a clear pattern of brutality and a string of cases that made his propensity for violence apparent, the leadership allowed him to remain in service: May tsapa, may baril. (2/6)
Para ilayo ang usapan sa mas malalaking istruktura, tanong, at pananagutan, mayroon ding lilikha ng tunggalian sa pagitan ng pulis at mamamayan. Pipilitin nila tayong magdebate pa. They will use this incident, as they have many other incidents before, to divide us. (3/6)
May those who wish to downplay what happened by creating discord among us never succeed in stripping us of our humanity. May we find anchorage in our common human response to these deaths: Kinilabutan tayo, nabasag ang puso natin, mali ito. (4/6)
We are bound in horror, grief, and empathy for Sonya and Frank Gregorio, as we are bound in condemnation of their senseless murders and of the murders of so many innocents over the past years. (5/6)
Kaisa ako sa pagtatrabaho upang magsulong ng mas makataong kultura sa hanay ng pulisya, at sa panawagan ng hustisya para sa mag-inang Gregorio. (6/6)
