What fol­lows is a video posted on YouTube which appar­ently aired on a Bolivian news chan­nel. It involves gun­fire, coffins, and peo­ple swim­ming across water in an attempt to flee.

I ask the fol­low­ing ques­tion in a gen­uine man­ner: what in this video indi­cates that a) the pre­fect began the attack and that b) the campesino group was peace­ful? The video is extremely incom­plete. The footage has been cut and/or blurred in vital moments. Overlaying the video are biased ques­tions and assump­tions of the prefect’s guilt. My Spanish is lim­ited (I’m still try­ing and learn­ing!) — is there impor­tant speech in the actual footage which pro­vides clues? Also, I don’t know enough about the ter­rain, peo­ple, etc. — is there some­thing vis­i­ble which pro­vides solid evidence?

Thanks to mgrace who posted the link to the video on his blog.
