Some people need to be erased from the world.

“A 32-year-old man named Dexter Tan who posed as a policeman by wearing a Philippine National Police (PNP) shirt was recently arrested for allegedly robbing an 11-year-old boy in Quezon City,” reports Betheena Kae Unite in Tempo.

Tan was reportedly wearing a PNP shirt, the one used for cops’ athletic getup. It had the word, “PULIS,” printed on it.

The report noted: “Tan victimized Anthony Soriano, 11, a student who happened to be selling pillows. Tan approached him and introduced himself as a policeman and forcibly grabbed the boy’s earnings totaling PHP80.”
