Here is a good Philippine source explaining the breakdown of the 7,000 that have died in the current drug war:

As I stated before, the numbers include both killings done by police and killings done by the gangs. The two numbers are roughly even. It's therefore inaccurate to suggest that Duterte is mercilessly tracking down peaceful drug dealers and users and then killing them for no other reason than that he wants to be Hitler. He is, indeed, involved in a war. Undoubtedly, there are going to be cases where innocent people are wrongly targeted. However, given your support of Hilary Clinton, I find it odd that you are suddenly concerned with the loss of innocent life.
