Quezon City Police District (QPCD) chief Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III has resigned from his post to give way to the investigation into the road rage incident involving a former policeman and a cyclist, Super Radyo dzBB's Allan Gatus reported on Wednesday.
Torre was quoted as saying in the report that he wants to show that he is not covering up for anyone and he is willing to uncover the truth in the incident. The resignation will be effective on Thursday, the report said.
I like this move, nagpapakita siya ng delicadeza, di gaya ng ibang mga politician na sobrang embroiled na sa corruption scandals, pero parang mga wala pa ring paki.
The police chief boxed himself in unnecessarily by giving the guy a platform without knowing the whole story. Ayun lumabas CCTV footage that puts the ex-cop in an even worse pickle than before — cyclist was in fact trying to avoid him many times and kinaladkad niya pa bike sa sidewalk.
Cyclist, not surprisingly, doesn't want to press charges and want to move on and avoid the drama. Ewan ko lang if someone else could still press charges.
