It is known to many that the Philippines is currently fighting its war on illegal drugs. With this fight, many extra judicial killings -- summary executions, as others call it, are reported. Even the police have no qualms in killing alleged users or pushers who, according to the police, resisted arrest.
Human rights advocates, both local and international, are raising a red flag on these summary executions and that these killings should be investigated and stopped.
What is your take on these? Are the police crossing the line on these war on drugs? Or are the human rights advocates just a hindrance on these war?

Its really hard to take a stand on this because both ways have repercussions.

The police are crossing the line if they are just shooting them.
