Of course there are two sides. What if your family had been murdered by drug dealers? How would you feel then? Also seeing as crime has dropped 30% in the Phillipeans, I think it's possible that you should be less worried about your dad. I'm not one to defend the crop of proto-facists who are cropping up over the world, they are very far from my worldview. However to say there aren't two sides to this story translates as: I'm too lazy to look into the other side.
Besides, Obama and every US president for the last 50 years has been responsible for far more global murder and mayhem then Duterte could dream of.
I'll set aside your straw men and say that perhaps you need to look beyond a few sound bites about Duterte. Do you have any idea how corrupt the government and authorities are in the Philippines? Do you not believe in due process, even for the impoverished? I'm guessing not. If that's the case, it's a short step to the police and The Man (government) playing judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one in the dead of night.
