Published June 4, 2021 8:15am Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Friday called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to be serious in holding rogue cops accountable after another uniformed personnel was caught on video fatally shooting a civilian. In a statement, the HRW said such incident highlights the need for police to wear body cameras as it shows that accountability may only be possible if the crime is caught on video. The PNP needs to demonstrate they are serious about accountability and start requiring the police to use the cameras, HRW said.
