Who Killed Who?
Hand-cuffed. Dragged in a dark alley. Two heavy hands griping on his arms, he was forced and he pleaded. People saw him but they knew the two heavy-handed were authorized so they did not do anything. Until the trigger was pulled, a noise came from a corner. A seventeen-year-old boy was shot by the policemen.
Kian Delos Santos, a Grade 11 student from Caloocan City is one of the eleven persons killed in an anti-drug operation in Caloocan last Wednesday. He was found dead with a gun in his left hand but his father, Saldy said that Kian was not left-handed. The teenager’s dream was to be a policeman but the policemen who killed him, killed his own dream.
