Episode 5 - The Winston Ragos Shooting Incident

What this episode covers

On Tuesday, the 21st of April 2020, former military corporal Winston Ragos was shot to death by police in a quarantine checkpoint in Barangay Pasong Putik, Quezon City. Bystanders surrounded the scene and repeatedly shouted that Ragos was suffering from "war shock" or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our hosts talk about the important questions that this unfortunate incident brought to light. Was the police justifiable in using lethal force to subdue Ragos? What is "unlawful aggression", and why are the country's top lawyers citing it as an argument against the police operation? Does the Philippine National Police (PNP) have guidelines on when the use of force is justified? Should Ragos' mental health issues have been considered? Finally, what is the protocol for handling evidence in a crime scene, and did the PNP violate it in Ragos' case?
