The new Filipino president is urging his citizens to shoot and kill drug dealers "I'll give you a medal"

President elect Rodrigo Duterte told a huge crowd celebrating his presidential victory late on Saturday in the southern city of Davao that Filipinos who help him in the bloody war against criminality would be rewarded and has urged citizens with guns to shoot and kill drug dealers who resist arrest and fight back.

“Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun, you have my support,” Duterte said.

He warned about an extensive illegal drugs trade in the country that involved even police. If a drug dealer resisted arrest or refused to be brought to a police station and instead threatened a citizen with a gun or knife, “you can kill him” the rough and tough President elect said. “Shoot him and I’ll give you a medal.”
