From Wikipedia (bit outdated atm.):

The Davao Death Squads or DDS, are a vigilante group active in Davao City in the Philippines. The group is allegedly responsible for summary executions of delinquents and drug traffickers in Davao. As of August 2, 2004 the Mindanao Times counted 52 summary-killing incidents involving the DDS. The International Herald Tribune reports that in the first three months of 2005 there were 72 executions.

In the April 2009 UN General Assembly of the Human Rights Council, the UN report (Eleventh Session Agenda item 3, par 21) said, "The Mayor of Davao City has done nothing to prevent these killings, and his public comments suggest that he is, in fact, supportive.

From what I've been told, the DDS keep a watch-list and the targets are 1st told to leave the city and never return. If they don't comply, they're taken out by stabbing or shooting.

If their targets are actually criminals, drug-traffickers corrupt officials and so on, and before they're told to leave the city and never return but don't comply then i don't see the problem: at least they spare taxpayers money with endless and useless trials. If they are on state of emergency due to crime, they're just taking exceptional countermeasures, and the one who is honest has nothing to fear.
Great thread BTW

Just doing what the police probably won't do. We need that here, to a degree.

The mayor has is own personal SS to take care of the shit

Somewhat effective I guess, until retaliation takes effect.

Prolly cops fed up seeing that prison time doesn't help.

Wow... as long as they're all criminals, I like the idea...

This might not be such a bad idea. He may be on to something here.
