We see footage of APPO protesters engaging in street-to-street battles with rocks and sticks against police armed with guns. In the end, the man who is filming, I assume Brad, is gunned down, and his camera is placed on a bench.

The bloodshed in Oaxaca continues as the police continue to try to crush the protests.

1. Weird.
Where were the police shooting from? The end of that alley? There were several people standing in front of Brad just before he got shot and they didn't seem to be having problems. Was Brad's shooting the beginning of a police offensive against that group? After the camera is placed on the bench a bunch of shots can be heard, so that's my assumption...
