MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte has unleashed profanity and threatened to kill alleged crooked cops presented before him on Tuesday.

"Tumingin kayo sa akin, sampalin ko kayo, p***** ***. Tumingin kayo sa akin, dito sa mata ko. Look at me. Alam mo hindi ko maintindihan bakit kayong mga kriminal nakapasok sa police," Duterte began his speech as a new batch of errant police officers faced him at the Malacañan Palace grounds.

He reprimanded the cops for ruining the reputation of the police, which he said had improved on its image "a lot."

The president had taken the Philippine National Police out of his brutal war on drugs twice in the past—the first time was after the death of a Korean businessman kidnapped by cops and the second time after outrage due to the deaths of teens in the hands of authorities.

"Wala na ako magawa sa inyo mga u**l kayo... kayong may mga kasalanan na sindikato sa droga, sindikato sa korapsyon mayroon akong special unit habambuhay banytayan kayo at kung magkamali kayo ng kaunti sabihin ko patayin kayo," Duterte said

The cops were allegedly involved in crimes such as kidnap-for-ransom, extortion, robbery and serious illegal detention.
