So this happened the other day. It's really hard to fathom in 2016 there are presidents in the world who openly admit to personally killing suspects in a manner similar to how a serial killer might think. And it's no big deal!
"In Davao, I used to do it personally. Just to show the guys that, if I can do it, why can't you?" Duterte said.
"And (I'd) go around Davao with a motorcycle, with a big bike around and I would just patrol the streets and looking for trouble also. I was really looking for an encounter so I could kill."
His "war on drugs" has seen more than 5,900 deaths in less than six months, although many suspect the numbers are much higher due to the difficulty in accurately proving how many have been murdered. here is a CNN article for the source of the quote above, although it's been reported all over the net.
Here we can go in-depth with a photographer who has been documenting what he has been seeing:

What you will see is astonishing. Not only suspected drug dealers but suspected drug users are being murdered, sanctioned by the state. Duterte is on record recently stating “Hitler massacred three million Jews. Now there is three million, there’s three million drug addicts. There are. I’d be happy to slaughter them.”
