A man cries near the scene where his son killed after figuring in a shootout with police officers in Manila, Philippines, August 17, 2017. Amidst the drug crackdown's deadliest week yet, the shooting of a 17 year old schoolboy has sparked outrage over the drug war killings that has claimed more than 13,000 lives in one year. According to police, Kian Loyd Delos Santos fought back against police operatives during an anti-illegal drugs operation, but several witnesses and security footage saw Delos Santos being dragged away by plainclothes police to a dark lot where he was killed. Forensic evidence also suggests that Delos Santos did not fire a weapon. Thousands marched the streets during Delos Santos' funeral in what was the biggest demonstration yet condemning the thousands of cases of extrajudicial killings under President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
