#THREAD Tension is high in #Chile as large demonstrations are taking place in many cities, following days of incidents culminated with the state of emergency being declared and curfew (for the first time since the dictatorship) being issued👇

High school students in Santiago peacefully begun #EvasionMasiva against surges in metro fares, which was met with harsh response by #CarabinerosDeChile (military police), here inside a metro car at Vicente Valdes metro station: goo.gl/maps/1SsziVWjv…

Army units were deployed to #Santiago early on Oct. 19, where they soon made use of their individual weapons. In this video shots are fired next to Del Sol metro station. The truck drives NW passing underneath a bridge here: goo.gl/maps/ABE8UFVZU…

This Chilean Army unit is armed with SIG-540 assault rifles locally produced by #FAMAE, and is equipped with Mercedes-Benz Atego 1328 trucks, seemingly purchased only very recently: infodefensa.com/latam/2017/12/…
Chilean Army's Swiss-designed and FAMAE-produced MOWAG Piranha armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) were spotted in the streets of Santiago since very early on Oct. 19. Here a column of 3 8X8 and 3 6X6 AFVs drives through here: goo.gl/maps/VS1byFUnX…

In #Iquique, a large and peaceful crowd approached the 6th Army HQ and were initially met with water cannons of the #Carabineros in front of the Army's facility in #Cavancha:
goo.gl/maps/hm2oC8hvi…. The protest had spread beyond Santiago to other cities.

instagram.com/p/B30iDd5ixYt/
The crowd seemed to be posing no immediate threat, but automatic gunfire was seemingly heard and people started running away from the Army facility. At 10 PM the #toquedequeda (curfew) came into effect.
Soldiers were deployed to #Valparaiso as well, where seemingly without collaborating with the #Carabineros they enforced the #toquedequeda, here spotted along Independencia: g.page/segurycel-valp…
Military personnel attacking civilians in Plazuela Anibal Pinto, in #Valparaiso, to enforce the #toquedequeda. This unit is followed by a Mercedes-Benz 1300, driving from the square through here: goo.gl/maps/EHzmYBCct…
Another video of the same scene shot from another perspective, probably here: goo.gl/maps/J2rsyGg6D…, shows soldiers rushing towards escaping isolated civilians while aiming their rifles and beating them:

Plainclothes personnel loading their assault rifles and aiming at eye-level in Paseo Bulnes, #Santiago, then finding shelter in a building's entrance with "Ejercito de Chile" (Chilean Army) engraved. The entrance is situated here: goo.gl/maps/yxSVMgkrC…
A column of Chilean Army Piranha AFVs drives through Diagonal Paraguay, in #Santiago, last night, while automatic gunfire is heard. They then turn into this street: goo.gl/maps/jr5wWQVz2…
"We are at war" declared pres. @sebastianpinera yesterday, civilians casualties reached 10 dead, state of emergency was extended to cities to the north and south and the curfew's starting hour was moved from 10 to 7 pm, following a day of incidents

On Oct. 20 Army personnel in #Santiago's neighbourhood #LaColina were spotted pulling onto the street the unconscious body of a young man, while firing their assault rifles at eye-level, as they retreat along this road: goo.gl/maps/jJ2TGx6qQ…

The same soldiers, all with concealed faces, are later seen treating the unconscious man's bloody wound on his right hip while holding the crowd at a distance. Shots are heard and the body is pulled into the @Goberchacabu offices at this location: goo.gl/maps/ogWgvhjqf…
Events in #Chile have also been marked by several episodes of #saqueos (looting) which were equally met with an unjustified and excessive use of violence by the Army and #CarabinerosDeChile. In this video looters are chased and shot in #LaFlorida, here: goo.gl/maps/sJoYXyqcC…
@ejercitodechile military personnel opening fire and running after civilians on the night of Oct. 20 a repeatedly firing their automatic weapons at eye level in residential neighbourhood in #SantiagoDeChile .
The video above was recorded last night as soldiers ran past La Casa Adilio restaurant in #Recoleta - found through @GoogleStreetV - specifically in Los Zapadores, here: goo.gl/maps/nEYA3sSoF…
Last night, in #Concepcion, military personnel was spotted, backed by Army trucks, in Avenida los Carrera, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/93mrjUEy5… heading South-West, while firing their assault rifles at eye-level.
Another video recorded from the opposite side of the road indicates the column was composed of 6 #Ejercitodechile's trucks and that soldiers fired against people overlooking from buildings' windows (00:07 played in slow-mo)

Monday Oct. 21: a day of large peaceful demonstrations in #Chile. This one was in #Concepcion, #BarrosArana, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/T8rrkTU8g…
A large peaceful crowd also invaded #PlazaItalia/#PlazaBaquedano, in #Santiago, with helicopters flying over the square. Geolocated here: goo.gl/maps/j4uv5asTy…
In #Linares, peaceful demonstrators stood outside of the Artillery School of the #Ejercitodechile, to protest against Army presence in the street. People were standing outside of the facility's southern gate, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/EVHBiycg5…
In #Talca a small unit of #CarabinerosDeChile, unprovoked and out of immediate danger, shot large quantities of teargas canisters and rubber bullets with #escopetas (shotguns) at eye-level directly into the advancing crowd. Geolocated here: goo.gl/maps/ZKSytLkZJ…
Things escalated quickly in the afternoon of Oct. 21 as #CarabinerosDeChile and #Ejercitodechile confronted peaceful demonstrators with progressively increasing aggressive tactics. Here soldiers assume firing position and aim their rifles, at this corner: goo.gl/maps/KHnQeEkBf…
Here a column of 6X6 and 8X8 Piranha Armoured Fighting Vehicles of #Ejercitodechile push demonstrators South-West, speeding on #AvenidaApoquindo, in #Santiago. Marching Army personnel came from the corner with #WarrenSmith.
The MOWAG Piranha AFVs, instead, came from North-East on #AvenidaApoquindo, and at this point #Ejercitodechile personnel mounted on these vehicle start firing their weapons in the air.
Interestingly, each Piranha AFVs of #Ejercitodechile, of which at least 4 are spotted on this road at this time, is equipped with an M2 Browning .50 caliber Heavy Machine Gun, in contrast with previously sighted unarmed Piranhas (see previous tweets).

Yet another dramatic scene, again in #LasCondes, #Santiago, were #Ejercitodechile personnel, backed by Piranha AFVs and trucks, arrest and take away a woman. Many Chileans are distressed as these events remind them of #Pinochet's #militarydictatorship.
Onlooking neighbours loudly play "El Derecho de Vivir en Paz"🔊by #VictorJara, an iconic artist which was arrested, tortured and killed in the first days of the #DictaduraEnChile which began in the 70s. The woman was dragged onto these stairs (yellow): goo.gl/maps/cW2VmzyhH…
Yesterday afternoon violent reactions by Chilean military personnel were recorded in #Valparaíso too, where soldiers fired most likely rubber bullets at eye-level on #Bellavista, almost at the corner with #SalvadorDonoso, here: goo.gl/maps/mgT8H62NS…
Extremely brutal scenes from #VinadelMar, where yesterday afternoon (Oct. 21) a group of #CarabinerosDeChile attacked young civilians with batons in #CalleValparaiso, almost at the corner with #Ecevers: goo.gl/maps/ua3rLSe5C…
Allegations have surfaced of law enforcement being involved, tolerating or encouraging vandalism and looting. In this video uniformed armed individuals, allegedly #PDI police, in a civilian vehicle act suspiciously in front of BCI bank in #Coquimbo: goo.gl/maps/QfP23n3jp…
A large fire broke out yesterday afternoon at #Sodimac's Homecenter in #Concepcion, located on #AvenidaLosCarrera, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/JQQQVEhLC…
This video shows military personnel, with an Army truck nearby, standing next to a small entrance on the building's North-East side, which can be confirmed with @GoogleStreetV. At this point little smoke is coming out of the facility.

@GoogleStreetV Another day of large and peaceful demonstrations today in #Chile, where the #toquedequeda (curfew) has been extended to the most peripheral regions and is being enforced by both Army and police. This is in #Alameda, between #Estado & #Ahumada in #Santiago: goo.gl/maps/vYNVdzpqo…
@GoogleStreetV In #Rancagua, south of #Santiago, a large demonstration just turned from #AvenidaRamonFreire into #Membrillar, exactly at this corner, in front of #Unimarc supermarket: goo.gl/maps/Suuy11uZQ…
@GoogleStreetV Coming from #PlazaItalia, in #Santiago, demonstrators also occupied #AvenidaLibertadorBernardoOHiggins to the North-East, where they stayed peacefully among vehicles of #CarabinerosDeChile. Geolocated here: goo.gl/maps/KiS9PwFDM…
Deployed by the #FuerzasEspeciales (#FFEE) of #CarabinerosDeChile we can identify one #guanaco (as water cannons are called in #Chile) plausibly being a Mercedes-Benz Cimasa L-1318 model, "LA-16" (probably standing for "Lanza Agua").
Later in the afternoon tensions rose again on the same spot close to #PlazaItalia, where a #guanaco, most probably the previously-sighted LA-16, started shooting water against demonstrators in #AvenidaLibertadorBernardoOHiggins.
This video was recorded yesterday, Oct. 21, in #Concepcion. One soldier of #Ejercitodechile shoots, most probably pellets, an advancing civilian to the leg at close range. The civilian is later subdued. Another soldier is holding his assault rifle at another civilian's back.
Another video of the event provides wider view over the area: instagram.com/p/B37_WZJlg-g/. The shooting occurred in front of an apartment complex, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/6qzGbVNp3…. Once again @GoogleStreetV helped identifying the exact location with very recent imagery.
In #Santiago the Army intervened again in #LasCondes, where at least 4 Piranha AFVs advanced South-West while automatic gunfire was heard, and then retreated along #AvenidaApoquindo. #CarabinerosDeChile were also on the scene, in front of Banco Edwards: goo.gl/maps/G4PT1L9N9…
This video was recorded yesterday in #Quilpue.
#CarabinerosDeChile suddenly fired multiple pellets at eye-level (two demonstrators are visibly hit at close range) and teargas canisters, and then charged protestors in a little alley here: goo.gl/maps/9Yoo7B9of…
In the centre of #Linares last night #PoliciaDeInvestigaciones (#PDI) civilian police were chasing civilians while repeatedly shooting pellets at close range. First shots were fired here: goo.gl/maps/6LqidpUv1…, then police moved back into #PlazadeArmas

In #Santiago, late last night, Army personnel, backed by at least one truck, were enforcing the curfew in #LasCondes neighbourhood. One soldier was recorded intimidating and shooting civilians at eye-level within their domiciles.
The location of the event, provided by social media platforms, can be confirmed as being at the corner between #AlejandroFleming and #VitalApoquindo, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/f8UjFDDXh…. Again @GoogleStreetV and @TerraServer were vital in confirming this information.
@GoogleStreetV @TerraServer #Coquimbo: yesterday a journalist from #MiRadio was harassed & beaten by #CarabinerosDeChile despite complying with their requests & providing all necessary documentation. The intimidatory act of violence occurred on this bridge: goo.gl/maps/QUi9FMfxn…

@GoogleStreetV @TerraServer 6th day of demonstrations in #Chile: #Santiago has again witnessed a large turn out in the area surrounding #PlazaItalia and the #Alameda.
Here demonstrators are standing on front of #PontificiaUniversidadCatolicadeChile, along the #Alameda, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/L75yQmwWG…
More to the North-West along the #Alameda, the entrance to #PiazzaItalia is here seen as crowded with peaceful demonstrators.
In the video above people were at the intersection between the #Alameda y #VicunaMackenna, at the entrance of #PlazaItalia, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/9rxst5xZi…
Few hours ago in #Antofagasta a large peaceful crowd occupied #PlazaSotomayor, overlooking #ManuelAntonioMatta. Geo-located here: goo.gl/maps/iZyZcpFyx…
#CarabinerosDeChile intervening in 🗺️Alameda, Santiago, at the corner with 🗺️San Antonio, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/urk24oVRT…, a few hours ago. As they near demonstrators on the southern side of the street a protestor throws a stone & a teargas canister is most probably shot.
Demonstrators retreating South from Plaza Italia, Santiago, here passing in front of Hotel Principado de Asturia in 🗺️ Ramon Carnicer, precisely here:goo.gl/maps/zAXBtW2Ba…

The #GOPE (Grupo de Operaciones Policiales Especiales) of #CarabinerosDeChile is deployed to 🗺️ Plaza Italia with vehicles Panhard PVP J-040 (for Jeep?) and Nissan Pathfinder Z-4723. Mercedes Cimasa L-1318 LA-18, Rosenbauer RWD-12200 LA-50 also deployed.

Hotel Principado de Asturia on 🗺️ Ramon Carnicer, where demonstrators were previously spotted running away from confrontations in Plaza Italia, was shortly after looted and burnt. Furniture was reportedly used for barricades.

Despite more reconciliatory tones of pres. @sebastianpinera's latest statement on current situation, his minister of interior & public security, @andreschadwickp, confirmed reports that a request was forwarded to the ministry of defence to call reserve troops into active service
#ChileDespierto Yesterday, Oct. 23, a large peaceful demonstration took place Puerto Montt as well. Here passing in front of the Muelle🗺️in Diego Postales: goo.gl/maps/fHJucJ3Be…
The Chilean Navy (#ArmadadeChile) releases statement affirming that the two Head of Nacional Defence for Concepcion and Valparaiso provinces have issued the #ToquedeQueda

Today is the second day of
#ParoNacional A large peaceful crowd has assembled in Maipu, South of Santiago. They are marching North on 🗺️Avenida Los Pajaritos, passing through here: goo.gl/maps/cHuva6mbT… Plaza Italia/Baquedano is again the place where demonstrators convene
#Ejercitodechile Chilean Army statement establishing #ToqueDeQueda between 22:00 and 04:00 for the Region Metropolitana (Santiago and surrounding area). Significant shrinking of the curfew compared to previous nights.

#chileprotest 7th consecutive day of demonstrations: another large peaceful turnout in🗺️Plaza Italia/Baquedano in Santiago, where in the afternoon #CarabinerosDeChile, way before the start of the #ToquedeQueda, set at 22:00. Confrontation happened here: goo.gl/maps/hRwBDR4z7…
24/10 Valparaiso: #CarabinerosDeChile trapped demonstrators in a little alley and beat them with batons. The city has witnessed some of the harshest episodes of repression against civilians during these days' demonstrations. Both by military and police.
Geolocation of video depicting demonstrators beaten by #CarabinerosDeChile: civilians are trapped in🗺️Gral Mackenna, with #Carabineros on motorcycles pushing them down towards Plazuela Ecuador, while other climbing up southward. It happened exactly here: goo.gl/maps/Tstm92Vxv…
In #Curico, a large peaceful crowd invaded🗺️Ruta 5 - Panamericana Sur, in the direction to #Lontue #ChileDespierta
Social media suggested that such demonstration occurred along Ruta 5 in the #Curico area, but this is a large highway which offers few clues. This video zooms in on a few businesses on both sides of the road which can be found on @googlemaps: gas station, car dealer, wine seller
@googlemaps Medics from Chilean Red Cross #CruzRoja attending wounded demonstrators in this little corner, goo.gl/maps/FThFoPmti…, of Gral Bustamante, doing everything they can to be recognised as medical personnel but allegedly still being targeted with gas & water
@googlemaps Yesterday afternoon #FFEE of #CarabinerosDeChile removing demonstrator from Plaza Italia🗺️Vicuna Mackenna goo.gl/maps/4fGmxqjvK… They pass in front of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van B-500 and load a demonstrator onto a Mercedes-Benz Comil Svelto bus B-311.
@googlemaps Metro Parcelas, in Maipu, Santiago: a van of #CarabinerosDeChile attempted to run over demonstrators in the street and on sidewalks along Los Pajaritos. Not the first video that surfaced with Carabineros involved in such behaviour.
You can see at how the van steps onto the sidewalk in front of the gas station. The event occurred here:🗺️goo.gl/maps/qAKd7h9BL… Social media suggested it was along Los Pajaritos. For these screenshots I've altered the brightness of the original video
Actual video of event - something went wrong with the upload:
Today, Friday Oct. 25, seems like Santiago has witnessed the largest demonstration yet #LaMarchaMasGrande appears to have involved 1 million demonstrators and is taking place right now in🗺️Plaza Italia/Baquedano, Alameda and surrounding streets

The starting time for the #ToqueDeQueda in Santiago was set by the Head of National Security at 23:00 today.

In Valparaiso the #ToqueDeQueda will be enforced starting from 20:00.

Large turnout of demonstrators in Concepcion too, where protestors conveyed to the🗺️Tribunales the Justicia. The building of the local office of Caja los Andes is clearly on fire.
The building sits on the southeastern corner of the square and the video was recorded precisely from here: goo.gl/maps/bPJ99fqfg…
Demonstrators standing at the base of the Caja los Andes were then confronted by a #guanaco, shooting water from this corner with🗺️Tucapel: goo.gl/maps/4LJTKALVf…
Yesterday, Oct. 25, has been an historical day for #Chile: #LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile took place in many cities across the country and central in #Santiago alone 1,2 million people have reportedly participated. The local administration has shier figures

Emotional moments during the peaceful demonstration which some compared to the one of 1988 before the referendum to oust Pinochet. "El Baile De Los Que Sobran" by #LosPrisoneros has been an hymn of the movement. Video shot here: goo.gl/maps/WU1iC1DXj…

These images over #SantiagodeChile are self-explanatory and do not need to be geo-located #LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile
The helicopter was flying North-East and while filming over the crowd it has covered 3.3 kilometres over central #Santiag, between🗺️Metro Universidad de Chile and Los Pinones/Avenida Santa Maria #LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile
Demonstrators stayed, at least in the area of🗺️Plaza Italia/Plaza Baquedano, until late. This video was first posted on social media at around 21:00 CLST (UTC-3) #LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile

In #Valparaiso, #CarabinerosDeChile clashed with demonstrators, shooting water (using a #guanaco), rubber bullets (at eye-level) and teargas into the crowd. The water cannon was in🗺️Argentina Poniente, while on foot personnel was firing from here: goo.gl/maps/QwXy98N41…
The #guanaco seems to be a Rosenbauer RWD 6500; the bus is a Mercedes-Benz Comil Svelto B-372 of 7° Company of #FFEE (Special Forces), to which most seemingly the #CarabinerosDeChile personnel operating in this street belongs to.
Last night in #Arica a robust intervention by the military when individuals, seemingly splintered off the demonstration, attempted to pull out the fence from the car park of Hiper Lider supermarket on🗺️Diego Portales.
Geolocation: the masked individuals seek cover right before an underpass, while the fence of the western corner of the supermarket sits right in front of them, slightly to the North-East. The location of where the assailants are kneeled is precisely here: goo.gl/maps/jjAfqwgdb…
Military personnel come storming from the South-East along🗺️Portales and lay down fire from the car park's gate towards the underpass. The vehicles access the parking lot while soldiers keep firing on the road above the underpass, then enter the lot as well.
The unit is accompanied by two HMMWV Humvees, two Land Rover Defender and two Mercedes-Benz Axor trucks. The parking lots's gate is precisely here: goo.gl/maps/uALhQmLTk…
BREAKING: Chilean pres. @sebastianpinera claims he is ready to end #EstadoDeEmergencia (state of emergency) in the entire country starting from Sunday at 24:00. He also asked all his ministers to resign in order to form a new cabinet, calls for "normality"
@sebastianpinera After yesterday's, Oct. 25, historical march, people are back in the streets, in fewer numbers but refusing @sebastianpinera's cabinet reshuffle as sufficient #EstoNoHaTerminado In #Santiago 2000 demonstrators reportedly returned to🗺️Plaza Italia

Today a large number of demonstrators took to the streets #VinadelMar to #Valparaiso marching pacifically. Here the crowd is walking along🗺️Avenida Espana, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/5vMoVff1V… #EstoNoHaTerminado #EstoNoSeAcaba

When approaching the Congreso Nacional, the peaceful crowd was held off by #Carabineros, which intervened with at least two #guanaco (water cannons) and two vans. The confrontation occurred here: goo.gl/maps/GmaUH9Zis…
#EstoNoHaAcabado #EstoNoHaTerminado
Demonstrator are chased down along🗺️Pedro Montt by #Carabineros. A #guanaco (water cannon) pushes them East, away from Congreso Nacional, which appears to have been the demonstration's destination #EstoPasaEnChile #EstoNoHaTerminado

Thanks to @googleearth and @GoogleStreetV we are able to find the Confiteria Fiesta, where demonstrators run in front of (screenshot take at 00:28), and find its exact location on🗺️Pedro Montt in #Valparaíso: goo.gl/maps/E7T9q7kfi…
The #Carabineros seem to be equipped with at least one Mercedes-Benz 280 GE tactical vehicle, one #guanaco Rosenbauer RWD 6500 (probably LA-047) water cannon and two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans (one is B-510, the other is indiscernible) #EstoNoHaTerminado #EstoEstaPasandoEnChile
Heavy hand by the #carabinerosdechile in #Santiago as well, where a peaceful demonstration was confronted by at least one #guanaco while demonstrators were standing at the🗺️corner between Avenida Providencia and Vicuna, here: goo.gl/maps/YKEATj5Be…

At the same time yesterday evening a small sit-in was staged by a limited number of peaceful demonstrators in front of la Moneda, in #Santiago, to remember the victims of the repression. Demonstrators standing behind the flag pole: goo.gl/maps/Q8y8ujucH…

But that did not last long as #Carabineros intervened with at least one #guanaco, a Mercedes-Benz Cimasa L-1318 LA-18 of the #FFEE (Carabineros' Special Forces), which started shooting water at the protesters forcing them to leave #EstoPasaEnChile #EstoNoHaTerminado
Yesterday #Iquique also registered a significant participation of peaceful demonstrators, who marched along🗺️Avenida Arturo Prat Chacon and passed in front of the IV Army's HQ, as during the 1st protest. Video was shot from here: goo.gl/maps/sMzQdPAGe…
Few hours ago, on Oct. 28, pres. Pinera announced his new cabinet following a #CambioDeGabinete. Today's marches in the country, especially in #Santiago, may give a hint about the people's reaction to this limited and late change #EstoNoHaTerminado

Later on, demonstrators started marching down the #Alameda in the direction of #LaMoneda, where a large peaceful demonstration was planned for today. Passing in front of Centro Gabriela Mistral cultural centre, they head South-West. Video recorded here: goo.gl/maps/G4cdkC9Fi…
Once in front of #LaMoneda, however, #Carabineros engaged the peaceful demonstrators from East and West, with at least one #guanaco and two vans operating in the square in front of the presidential palace. People shout 'asesinos' #EstoPasaEnChile #EstoNoHaTerminado
The #guanaco (water cannon) deployed by the #Carabineros was possibly a Rosembauer RWD 12200. The video was shot from this building's roof: goo.gl/maps/Snh8GzcJ1…
Close by, on Paseo Bulnes, a Mahindra Marksman #zorrillo (gas-shooting armoured vehicle) is forcing people towards #LaMoneda by speeding onto the pedestrian street releasing riot gas. A shop is identified & located here: g.page/armeria-immava…
Not far away, on #Alameda, during the clashes, a van of the #carabinerosdechile ran over a civilian while speeding on the crowded road #EstoPasaEnChile
The event, which involved a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van of the #carabinerosdechile, took place almost🗺️at the corner between Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins and Serrano, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/6Q78JX372…
#EstoPasaEnChile
Level of violence escalating around the same area of Alameda, with two #guanacos of the #Carabineros, most probably two Rosembauer RWD 6500, LA-49 and LA-50, are engaging demonstrators exactly in this spot: goo.gl/maps/wFu2XfJK1… #EstoPasaEnChile #SiSePuede
More videos from yesterday, Oct. 28, sho large participation of peaceful protesters in #Santiago, trying to reach #LaMoneda from #PlazaItalia through #Alameda. Here passing in front of Pontificia Universidad Catolica🗺️at the corner between Alameda & Lira: goo.gl/maps/2qCtXpvR4…
Access to #LaMoneda presidential palace, however, was blocked: 🗺️at the corner between Alameda & Arturo Prat, a cordon of fences and heavy presence of #carabinerosdechile personnel and assets prevented demonstrators to go any farther. People chanted #asesinos #EstoNoHaTerminado
At least seven vehicles were enforcing the blockade on one of #Santiago's principal artery: two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans (one is XX-3401 ), one Mercedes-Benz Comil Svelto bus, one #zorrillo and one #guanaco Mercedes-Benz L-1318 Cimasa. Another #guanaco in the background
After blocking the Alameda, #Carabineros, mostly on foot, cleared the area road by road in small units, firing shotguns at eye-level against small groups of isolated demonstrators. Video was shot in front of Iglesia San Francisco de Alameda:goo.gl/maps/UWDju8QjS… #EstoNoSeAcaba
This #Carabinero [matr. XX (indiscernible)-01-20] belongs to the #FFEE (Special Forces) and is filmed while firing an ESCORT AimGuard pump action shotgun manufactured by Hatsan, a Turkish company #ChileProtests #Chile

At least two of the #carabinerosdechile participating to this operation are part of the #FFEE, and are matr. n. GRIFO-4 and 22-12. Plausibly vehicles are not involved for a more discreet approach which facilitates their effort in clearing streets of demonstrators #ChileProtests
Along the Alameda, while protestors are forced to retreat towards Plaza Italia, a building starts burning🗺️at the corner between Alameda and Avenida Santa Rosa. The video is shot from here: goo.gl/maps/MSaWtDBL9…

@TerraServer Yesterday, Oct. 31, was the 13th day Chileans took to the streets; #UN observers arrived in #Santiago & are being briefed over human rights violations occurred in #Chile; movement's demands, 1st & foremost a new constitution, are taking concrete shape.

Demonstrators in Plaza Italia, #Santiago, following a peaceful march, were disbanded with teargas and a #guanaco (water-cannon) of #Carabinerosdechile. Video was recorded in🗺️Plaza Baquedano, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/HUx4LYYAQ…
#ChileDesperto

That same #guanaco (water-cannon), Mercedes-Benz Cimasa L-1318 model LA-16, has been seen in action before, precisely on Oct. 22, close to where Alameda meets Plaza Baquedano #ChileProtests #EstoNoHaTerminado #ChileNoSeRinde

In #Valparaíso a peaceful demonstration marched through the centre of town. Many of yesterday's marches were to commemorate people killed during the protests 📹 recorded on🗺️Prat close to corner with Urriola, here: goo.gl/maps/FvNSSULUc…
#ChileNoSeRinde

At the end of the march, a sit-in to commemorate the victims was held in🗺️Plaza Anibal Pinto📹recorded from here: goo.gl/maps/3YfzRNkjF… northwestern and northeastern side of square matching image from @GoogleStreetV #ChileDesperto #ChileQuiereCambios

At around the same time in #Valparaiso a demonstrator was filmed while trying to disable the nozzle on a #guanaco of #CarabinerosdeChile while speeding on🗺️Pedro Montt, turning left on Victoria, right after Plaza Salvador Allene, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/qe7Sv6QQs…
#Chile
Another video depicts the water-cannon of #Carabineros still under attack while about to turn left from🗺️Pedro Montt. At this point it seems like the nozzle has in fact been disabled. The #guanaco is a Mercedes-Benz 1823 Axor model #ChileResiste #ChileProtests #EstoPasaEnChile
The video above shows the #guanaco turning left into🗺️Gral Cruz - not into Victoria - in the wrong way, hence not after but right before Plaza Salvador Allende.
In the last video, the #guanaco of #CarabinerosdeChile is filmed while turning left again🗺️from Gral Cruz into Independencia, where, finally, the protestor jumps off, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/rZuVWwzcY…

#ChileResiste #ChileDesperto #EstoNoHaTerminado
View🗺️from Gral Cruz before the intersection with Independencia towards Pedro Montt, from where the #guanaco is coming. The water-cannon is here filmed about to take a left. Overall it drove about 0.35 kilometres around two blocks - for what we are able to observe #ChileResiste
A large demonstration also took place in #Concepcion, here passing through🗺️Arturo Prat, right before the intersection with Los Carrera, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/DLfNCwLSn… shops on video found on @googlemaps #EstoNoHaTerminado #EstoNoSeAcaba

Tension rose later in Plaza Tribunales de Justicia🗺️here: goo.gl/maps/GUbBLRNv9… where teargas canisters were shot at eye-level directly into protesters (00:17) from different sides of the square #EstoPasaEnChile #EstoNoHaTerminado #ChileProtests
🔎Three canisters can be identified in this video, their points of origin and trajectories approximately drawn: 1 and 2 are shot into the western corner of the square, from Barros Arana and Castellon; demonstrators then move away from that corner into the centre of the square;
The third canister is shot at eye-level and into the advancing crowd - not towards the ground - from the northern side of the Tribunal, which sits at the centre of the square. This last shot sends people into panic #EstoPasaEnChile #ChileDesperto #Concepcion #ChileProtests
On the 14th day since the beginning of the protests, yesterday, Nov. 1, the people of #Chile marched again. Here peaceful demonstrators are on🗺️Alameda, close to the intersection with Ramon Corvalan Melgarejo, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/odNTYABm9…

#LaMarchaMasGrandeDeTodas was peaceful & limited in numbers, but when in front of #LaMoneda demonstrators were confronted with anti-riot vehicles of #CarabinerosdeChile coming from🗺️Morande and turning onto Alameda at this corner: goo.gl/maps/W1BD4TQdV…

#FFEE (Special Forces) of #Carabineros deployed Mahindra Marksman J-032, Mercedes-Benz Rosenbauer RWD 6500 LA-49 and Mercedes Sprinter B-482. The water-cannon started shooting onto peaceful demonstrators immediately #ChileDesperto #LaMarchaMasGrandeDeTodas #EstoNoHaTerminado
Even in #PlazaItalia, where a very large group of peaceful demonstrators had convened, #CarabinerosdeChile intervened, unprovoked, shooting water and releasing gas. One #guanaco enters the square from🗺️Vicuña Mackenna, here: goo.gl/maps/gFXnnAs4k…

Around the same time, #SantiagodeChile's municipality, quoting figures obtained by the #CarabinerosdeChile, reported that the #PlazaBaquedano/#PlazaItalia area was hosting 20.000 individuals.

Eventually #CarabinerosdeChile intervened again, with teargas and at least one #guanaco (water-cannon), to clear #PlazaBaquedano/#PlazaItalia of people. Video's luminosity edited.
#EstoNoSeAcaba #LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile #ChileDesperto #EstoNoHaTerminado

In #Concepcion, peaceful demonstrators walked where yesterday they were forced to run in panic, marching on🗺️Barros Arana, at the western corner of Plaza Tribunales de Justicia, from here: goo.gl/maps/LotMBfWup…

#LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile #ChileDesperto #EstoNoSeAcaba
This video recorded in #Concepcion shows a man lying on the ground, allegedly shot by #Carabineros, still clearing the streets in the Tribunal area. #guanaco LA-01 in action📹recorded from building in Tucapel, here: goo.gl/maps/Ttr1i7JqZ…
#EstoNoSeAcaba

The video's author allegedly walked to the place where the body was lying. In the video the man is alive (lifting an arm) and his head is next to the sidewalk. Stains could potentially indicate two separate wounds.

Nov. 02: 2 weeks into the protest, #Chile is still shaken by demonstrations. Calls for a #NuevaConstitucion resound in the streets and parliament. In #plazabaquedano, #Santiago, protesters were targeted with teargas 📹 from here: goo.gl/maps/AgeLGW6JG…

Then water-cannons of #CarabinerosDeChile accessed the square from the West and shot water onto peaceful protesters, which were forced to run East. #guanaco LA-50 eventually caught up with them on🗺️Ramon Carnicer, precisely here: goo.gl/maps/Aoy6o7pYs…

This is what it looked like from the West, towards Alameda. Note the limited numbers and peaceful behaviour of demonstrators present at #plazabaquedano when the water-cannons of #CarabinerosDeChile intervened, going East towards🗺️Providencia #ChileDesperto
A view from the South shows many of the demonstrators running North-East, towards Plaza Italia. At this point it appears the crowd has been divided in approximately two large groups 📹recorded from here: goo.gl/maps/824a47xe3…
#EstoNoHaTerminado #Chile

In this operation of #CarabinerosDeChile have participated water-cannons LA-49 and LA-50, one #zorrillo and two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.
