'Pandemic within a pandemic': a call to end police brutality

Abstract

This correspondence points out the excessive use of police force in the Philippines since the outbreak of the pandemic. In a recent correspondence, the authors called for a cooperative, honest and considerate attitude toward the government. However, how can one trust the government if it relies heavily on draconian measures in 'war' against the pandemic?

Keywords: COVID-19; force; pandemic; police brutality.
