Hello,
Here is a short quote from www.muzinews.com about Oaxaca:
Mexican cops fire in air during protests
2006-08-08
Police fired shots into the air Monday to clear more than 100 protesters from outside the state economy ministry, the latest incident in a wave of confrontations and protests that have driven many tourists out of this historic Mexican city.
Police commander Aristeo Lopez said about 20 officers fired their guns after the demonstrators attacked them with sticks and stones.
Protesters said the shootings were unprovoked. "We arrived in peace and they attacked us," said protester Vicente Jesus Rodriguez.
There were no reported injuries, but several cars were damaged.
If you watched Channel 12 on Cable this morning news you could watch the protesters attacking a parked police pickup. From watching that video clip it was certainly clear that the protest was NOT in peace and that the police WERE provoked.
It ain't going to get any better.
Adiós. jerezano.
