            @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.

          @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.

        @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.

      @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.

    @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.
