Death during illegal cockfighting raid

[Shasha80]

The risks as a police officer are indeed great, so the risk of death while carrying out duties is very possible. An accident that occurred in
the Philippines which resulted in the death of a police officer while arresting perpetrators of illegal cockfighting, should be used as a lesson
for all parties. Especially for illegal cockfighting perpetrators who do not comply with the regulations, if they did not break the rules there
would be no death for the police officer.

Sorry to hear about the death of law enforcers in the Philippines.
That is the responsibility of a law enforcer in eradicating gambling in the Philippines, how can chickens attack a human being, let alone the police, I think that the police who came to the chicken gambling place were unprepared and in full uniform and unarmed, that should not have happened, if you used full uniform when attacked by chickens you could be protected.

This is the worst experience for the police there, killed in cock attack, indeed in the Philippines chicken betting is quite common there, maybe in the future the police will be more careful when carrying out raids, hopefully the same thing won't happen again.

You are correct mate, it's the responsibility of the police officers to eradicate illegal gambling here in the Philippines but i think it's easier said than done as there is too many illegal activities going on here and some have the backings of police officers itself.

That police officer that died during the raid was prepared but not careful enough to handle the chicken. That blade is so sharp that if it hits your vital organ, you are done. Many have died on this kind of accident and this recent one should be a lesson to all involve that this activity is dangerous and police officers should not touch those chickens with blade still on as this mighty fighter would take their life.

First time I read a chicken killed a policeman, it's quite disturbing because I know how sharp the blade is I have seen and hold one and it's very sharp I could not imagine the wounds, only a Kristo can hold chicken with that sharp blade, they are trained to do that they know the right timing and the right part to hold and it is not advisable to go near a chicken wearing that sharp blade.

Not actually trained but rather experienced with such thing. Despite of being experienced, they were also wounded most of the time by that blade. In this case, there's really nothing much to say than "Accidents really happen". We cannot still say that the violators wanted such accident to happen. They have indeed violated the law but there's no intention of one person, at service, to be killed. The only thing which is not legal in this case is betting. Taking care of chickens are not unless that animal is prohibited.

Also, the policemen should have an idea now how serious is the cock when they still attached with their blade as they are like wild birds that hate to be touch except by their owners. nonetheless, those people who are involved in this illegal activity will also face some charge with the death of the officers because the cause of his death was their foolishness. However, this depends on the judge whether he will add this case to them or not depends on their reasons.

I just hope that no officer will get that experience in the future, and if there is another raid like that, they need to secure before it happens again. But I think that accident happens coincidentally, and they don't imagine if that can happen. Maybe the police need to prepare with everything necessary and always take care of themselves. I can not imagine if the blade is attached to their body.

Everytime that the police are going to a mission or somewhere in order to raid a cockpit area/ gambling area or some drugs related mission, they are offering their lives and they already know that maybe after the mission there are some buddies from there team might get killed accidentally and I believe that they are already aware of it and they are prepared of what ever might happens on their missions, the thing was just they need to be more prepared when they are going to a deadly missions so that there will be no cases like this will happen again.

Aside from the main issue that it is an illegal cockfighting ring, the death is an accident and it does not have any correlation with the raid. Philippines has a big problem when it comes to this illegal cockfighting ring because a lot of money is involved in this kind of games, even politicians are known to bet on this games. Some are protected by the local authorities because they are bribed. There was once a story where a hitman is hired by a politician to kill the owner of the winning fighter, although it was a long time ago. There have been cases the same as this one that I have known of and by far this is the only time that someone died.

If the police officer died as a result of the raid, which seems to be the case, then it has all to do with the raid, I do not know about the laws on the Philippines but at least in my country if a person dies while a crime is being committed the criminals can be charged with murder, and what is worse is that all of this could have been avoided if the organizers just followed the correct procedure as it seems cockfighting is legal there, this is a tragedy and my best wishes go to the family of the police officer that died.

[electronicash]

he should just asked someone else to confiscate the chickens.
these roosters are trained all their lives to fight as long it can. as long as it can fight back using its beak the fight in the arena goes on.  since the chicken can still kick, it only mean this is the dominant fighter. shit happens. rip to the police officer.

[Twentyonepaylots]

I misunderstood the news coz I didn't read it. My fault.

It's their job to confiscate animals, what they did wrong is that they didn't thought of it fighting back as they are confiscating it, plus the factor that it is a raid, I'm pretty sure they were not wearing any protective gear, just a casual clothes to get in to the arena without people noticing.

these roosters are trained all their lives to fight as long it can. as long as it can fight back using its beak the fight in the arena goes on.  

It's not the beak they these roosters are using to fight, it is the steel blades that they trainers are putting onto them and that's what cut the femoral artery of the police officer. Shit really happens, anytime.

Who would be the one to confiscate those? They are law enforcers so its just normal that they would be the ones to get those cocks.Its just that police
were just too careless yet those are equipped with blades.If he had been careful on handling it out then he might able to save up his own life.Well,
this do happens and theres nothing you can do when accident do really happen. Feel sad for that police had just wasted up his own life due to
that blade which causes for extreme bleeding.This is also part of the risk when you do really have this kind of job.

If the police are helping these illegal gambling houses then they will be getting the information when they plan on raiding the place and they could change the set up in a matter of hours.

I never knew that chickens are attached with blades, so is this a death match like the gladiators .

For the record, i've said that some, not all police officers are protectors of these illegal activities and i agree with you that those bad eggs in the enforcement agency could tip off the subject and when the raiding team arrive at the scene, nobody is there.

You mean the cockfighting? Yes, it is like a gladiator match and most of the time, one of the cock will end up dead and sometimes both of them will suffer the same fate.

On the case of the police officer who died during the raid, that is a case of mishandling the rooster. Someone have not put the cover of the blade (maybe because of the commotion) to prevent that kind of incident.

Accidents really happens, I've seen it in the news too and even in the social media posts, almost everyone is laughing by the death of the police(he is the chief police btw). It may be hard to believe but it makes me realize how dangerous life is, and how surprising a death would be. It somehow feels like a death inside a horror film right. I don't know why but this is the first time I've heard of a human death caused by a fighting cock. Some gamblers got hit by that sharp blade too but they are just lucky it's just a wound. But this is so unlucky for the police, being hit in a dangerous artery that could cause his death.

There is so much illegal cockfighting here, they called it "topada", some are in train railways, abandoned lot, house and etc. Even during the  start of the quarantine, there are so much news about topada's here.

I don't want to talk politics on this but I need to share this to people who might not familiar with these types of people who mock the police and the military, also the government. Up to the point that these people wanted them dead. People who tend to laugh at a policeman's death are if not all, leftist or liberal thinking. If you are already aware of the goings on in this country. These people - communist activists, socialist academicians, liberal middle class and socialist priests and nuns all have one thing in common, their disdain of the military establishment and of the police. And mocking this policeman's death is a proof of how vile these people think of their fellowman, simply because he wore a policeman's uniform. This is very sick behavior.

[slapper]

one of the infuriating part here is that cockfighting was allowed in the area if organizers followed proper procedure and health protocol in order to legally operate during this pandemic. but these bastards decided fuck the law. and now their stupidity and lack of following the protocols resulted to someone's death.

It's difficult to stop cockfighting forever. Cockfighting is inherently a tradition in many countries in Southeast Asia. No matter how hard you try to prevent these activities, you can never fully control the situation. People here indeed have a passion for chickens fight. Age is not limited as well. I have seen a 14-years old boy raise his cock just to make money from the fight. And money comes from cockfighting is kinda worthy for them. Being uneducated can not give you many chances to have a proper job. And a manual worker's salary in these countries is less than $300 a month.

Although this activity is surely illegal, if you cant not provide a better living standard, there will always people who are forced to do this for the money.

[Alucard1]

I have watched the news and that time the place is under MGCQ and they are allowed to have the Cockfighting but it should have a health protocol to be safe and protect each and everyone but as what in the news said the cockfighting was got raid because it is illegal and resulted to the death of the police officer because of the blood loss caused by the attack of the chicken wearing a sharpen tool in its feet. I feel sorry for h death of the officer, this is a bad thing in the Philippines, some so many people don even care about the rules of the government. They are still doing such illegal activities.

Those people involved with the cockfighting are now in prison including 2 seniors and are now finding those 3 organizers of the cockfighting.

This is a horrible gruesome way to die and its a sad affair for the dead policeman and his family. 
When i read the title of this thread i did not think it would be about a bird killing a armed policeman.
Very tragic way to go and may he rest in peace.

I first heard about this news because it's becoming a meme on social media. But I never expect that this kind of situation will happen that police will die in a raid because of the rooster. But the real issue is that people will still illegally gamble and organize cockfighting even if they know that it's illegal due to the protocols implemented. Also, it's sad that someone who's just doing his job died in this event when he could have lived if they did not disobey the protocol.

If people were obedient, there will be no raid, but that's life, there are violators and police are just trying to do their job.

Maybe they expect it would happen, the roster killed the police, this time the roster got their revenge on a human as they usually are the toys for the humans just to fulfill their gambling entertainment. Honestly, this is the first time I heard a police got killed by a roster during the raid, rare but it happened.

I guess we can say that's how life works? But it was very unexpected to hear this kind of event where the rooster is the cause of his death. Probably no one also expected that this could happen that's why even the police were not able to protect themselves to prevent such situations when they were planning to raid the place.

I hope with this issue, the authorities can be more strict to prevent illegal cockfighting because it's putting risk to everyone there, they might get infected by the virus, and worst-case like what happened to the police.

Yes, I am sure that they will be more prepared for anything worst that might happen in the next mission. They already give their best work to people by always protecting people. We can hope that they will be okay, and nothing bad happens to them in the next mission. It is a lesson for the police institution, and they need to make sure that every police personnel will have protection from anything that can put their lives in danger.

I don't know why still people do this, online gambling are more accessible. Instead, they organize illegal cockfights that killed a police officer who's just trying to implement the law. I'm just pissed off, while lockdown and quarantine is being implemented, they can still play and wager through online sports bet.

well, actually, Asia's countries have done a great job in sealing this disease in such a short amount of time. Only Western people do not know how to cope with this pandemic and it is certain that many western people are unthoughtful which cause them to affected to this virus.

It is an industrial accident, you cant avoid that although the percentage is extremely more. Bad luck to this guy. Moreover, it strenuous to stop cockfighting one and for all because it is hosted arbitrarily everywhere. And there are even some professional stadium set up only for cockfighting betting
