@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde In the former case, in Cochabamba, police stood down, allowing an armed civic movement crowd in Cala Cala to attack MAS supporters in the Plaza de las Banderas, who had sticks. Two of the many people they shot in the first half hour died.Permalink On twitter.com

@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde Now, did they stand down bc of political alignment with Manfred Reyes Villa and the civic movement? Bc they were unwilling to get into a potentially deadlier shootout? Bc of complicity? Unclear. What is clear is that armed opponents of the national government killed supporters.Permalink On twitter.com

@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde In Pando on September 11, again police loyalties were uncertain. The opposition governed region was several weeks into claiming its de facto autonomy.Permalink On twitter.com

@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde Yes, there was an armed militia among the pro-MAS side. However, they didn't kill anyone. Again, what is clear is that armed opponents of the national government killed supporters.Permalink On twitter.com

@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde Meanwhile, there are scores of deaths across nearly all of the presidencies in my dataset recording local conflicts. By far the largest of these being the Laymi/Qaqachaka/Jukumani guerra de los ayllus. And the second largest being disputes among two kinds of miners in Huanuni.Permalink On twitter.com

@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde We can certainly lament the failures of multiple presidents to prevent the killings in these conflicts. But if we do, we have to acknowledge that the MAS-IPSP did as much or more to create a durable peace in these 2 places as any prior government.Permalink On twitter.com

@Pichicateru @DiegoJEsca @CFValverde Errata: The Pro-MAS militia killed one person, Pedro Oshiro, in an early morning confrontation distant from the later massacre of MAS supporters.Permalink On twitter.com
