Dutch activist writes letter to 'crying cop'
Photos of a police officer who broke into tears while dispersing protesters seemed to have touched even the foreigner who was seen shouting at him in one of the shots.
Dutch national Thomas van Beersum’s open letter however showed that his feelings remain mixed over PO1 Joselito Sevilla, dubbed the “crying cop” in photos now making rounds online.
“I write this letter because unlike the other police at the protest, you did not act violently like your mates and you did not attack us,” the letter posted on Facebook said.
“You did what you thought was right,” van Beersum said, adding that Sevilla’s decision not to act on orders to disperse push on against protesters was “a noble act.”
This, as he stressed that he was part of the group of “peaceful protesters in the front who were beaten with police truncheons” near the Batasang Pambansa Monday, July 22.
Van Beersum, who is in the country for the Conference on Human Rights and Peace in the Philippines, joined protesters who scored President Benigno Aquino III as he delivered his fourth State of the Nation Address.
“We did not carry any weapons, we only had our banners and flags,” van Beersum said, adding that 41 activists were injured, many with head wounds and contusions.
“After that initial confrontation I got angry and started shouting at the police officer standing in front of me. That police officer happened to be you,” he noted.
Van Beersum recalled telling Sevilla even as he became emotional: “You are the ones that are hurting us! You started this conflict! Why are you doing this?”
During a second wave of alleged police aggression, van Beersum said Sevilla no longer joined. “You stayed at the same place, crying behind your shield.”
While lauding Sevilla for resisting the “repressive character of the police,” van Beersum however urged the officer to “take responsibility.”
“[I]f you really want to serve the people, then you should know that when you take orders, you have a choice and a moral responsibility to refuse to carry out any type of anti-people acts,” van Beersum said.
The Dutch national in his letter outlined human rights violations he claimed had been committed under the Aquino government, citing stories he heard from the masses.
“I am tired of the extrajudicial killings, the illegal arrests, the forced demolitions, the land-grabbings, the puppetry to U.S.-imperialism, tired of all the oppression and exploitation of the workers, farmers, students, women, indigenous, urban poor, LGBTs, and all other oppressed groups,” he said.
“You alone are responsible for your actions,” van Beersum reminded Sevilla, who he said was nowhere to be found when he tried to look for him after the clash.
Ending his letter, the Dutch national invited Sevilla to join their ranks and show rage “against the crimes of the state and against the violent forces.”
“I hope to see you again next year, during the SONA protest of 2014. But then I hope that we will be on the same side,” van Beersum said.
dapat dito sa puti wag ng papasukin dito sa pinas nanaghihikayat pa..![]()
di pala pwede si PO1 sa mindanao.
baka pag bakbakan na w/ ASG, maglulupasay yan.......
oh btw, he's now on a 15 day leave.
to relax & rest daw..........
he's still affected on what happened during the SONA protests.
the police are not part of the military. what happened to them was a violation of the department of labor code and probably human rights. if they were not fed nor given break for more than 8 hours, then it is a violation. for you who are berating these men in uniform too, try being in their shoes. they're just as human as you, needs food, rest and the basic necessities in life. do not expect these police officers to be heroes for a meager pay. sure there are some bad apples, but not all apples in the basket are bad

Damn, son! Where'd you find this?
To Beersum,
To be respected, you need to respect others.
To be granted with Human Rights, you should first act like a human.
The police have put barricades to have separation between protesters and the enforcers, who was responsible when the barricade was broken.
If you did not respect the separation of space, you are therefore doing a illegal act.
For your other concerns:
I am tired of the extrajudicial killings - I hope you would be as eager to face the criminals, whom kill for a living.
the illegal arrests - I hope you would be as eager to face the criminals, whom kidnap people for a ransom.
the forced demolitions - I hope you have a peace of land, occupied by people whom you do not know, and demand relocation with a well built house, electricity, water, transportation and a source of income.
the land-grabbings - I hope you would be as eager to face the squatters, whom occupy properties which they do not own, and demand payments before they return your land.
the puppetry to U.S.-imperialism - we all have a master, even you have a leader which you follow his orders.
tired of all the oppression - if you are a criminal, you have a choice to change your life or to be oppressed, however if you are innocent you should expose the names of the people whom oppress you.
and exploitation of the workers - build your own company/start your own business if you do not want to have a boss
exploitation of the farmers - don't buy imported produce, buy local products, this is the way if you wish to help our farmers.
exploitation of the students - high cost of education? how you wish to pay the teachers/professors salary and the school operation?
exploitation of the women - this is common to any country
exploitation of the indigenous - this is common to any country
exploitation of the urban poor - you are responsible for yourself if you wish to be poor, or you can make ways to improve your life
exploitation of the LGBTs - what is this?
and all other oppressed groups - please read my replies above.
Life is not fair, if we measure success by how much we have in the bank, the properties we own, the dress we wear and the food we eat.
to mr beer sum
mind your own f*cking business. even your country exploits women like hell. don't come into my house and tell me what to do, don't come into my house and expect me to cater to each of your whims. the filipinos have evolved from the bowing type to a type who would welcome you but with a hidden clinched fist. don't step into our country again. you are not welcome. bigots are not welcome

The police should have those trucks with scoops for riot control from the movie Soylent Green. Kahit na PHUV version lang.

Anyway back to topic tayo... kakaiba talaga yun. 2 supposedly warring groups expected to push and shove each other all of a sudden show compassion to each other.
There is still hope...

BI nabs Dutch activist seen yelling at cop in SONA protest
InterAksyon.com
The online news portal of TV5
MANILA, Philippines -- Thomas van Beersum, the Dutch activist who drew attention after news photos captured him shouting at a policeman during a protest against President Benigno Aquino III's state of the nation address, was arrested Tuesday morning by the Bureau of Immigration as he was about to fly out of the country.
This was confirmed by Renato Reyes Jr., secretary general of the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan.
Reyes told InterAksyon.com they had no idea why Beersum was "picked up" at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Nor were they aware of any charges filed against the Dutch national, who was in the country to attend an international human rights conference.
He added that Beersum has yet to talk to his counsel from the National Union of People's Lawyers.
"We in Bayan strongly denounce the detention of Dutch activist Thomas van Beersum by the Bureau of Immigration," Reyes said in a Facebook post.
"We demand his immediate release as he is already on his way out of the country. We demand that his rights be respected, that he not be paraded like a criminal and that he is allowed to confer with his lawyers from NUPL led by Atty. Rey Cortez and the different human rights groups," Reyes added.
The photo of Van Beersum at the SONA protest drew widespread criticism, including calls for his deportation, from netizens, but also saw others defending his involvement in local issues.
Dapat yang si renato reyes pinapatapon sa mindanao, siya itong pasimuno ng mga rally na wala naman kakwenta kwenta..
