24 policemen(20 of which were cut-slitted) and 10 indigenous persons killed,
is that what you support?
this poor indigenous persons are influenced by obscure interests of persons that give them weapons and take advantage on their unfortunate situation; if you do care about them, read first the laws and point out in which part are indigenous lands endangered!, otherwise you are just being considered an opportunistic in Peru (by me and lots of peruvians)
for instance, if you understand this video, the indigenous guy arrested in the ambulance (around 5:05) was taken because he was hidden in that ambulance with an an AKM gun, he was thought of having killed 3 policemen with that gun, isn’t the police in the US allowed to kill people only if they become a danger? I guess in peru the police respects too much this savages and they only arrested him
You are so biased, I am peruvian I do speak spanish and have lived in those areas, I also have some relatives in the police deparmtment and trust me, they don’t kill people like in the US
i forgot, I said your blog is biased because your title is misleading for non-spanish speakers; in the video the reporters clearly tell about the indigenous guys killing policemen with war guns (like AKM)
anyway, that is clear for those who understand spanish, but I had to warn about that to the non-spanish speakers!
