Apparently it happened more than a year ago, but the case has been "in review" since the video above was revealed. The dude in the floor was a nignog suspected of having participated in a deadly shooting. The police claimed they shot in response after he produced a gun and shot a policeman in a leg. However, this is disputed by other people who believe he was unarmed and the shot came from another police (probably that woman seen in the video)

While looking for that I found vids related.

The most plausible excuse for the official 80% why not 79,53 or 81,49%, this is also a bit suspicious results is that the vote counts were approximations innocently derived from the percentages. But if electoral authorities had the percentages, they had the real vote counts, why didn't they announce these? If 5,150,092 is merely an approximation, then Maduro was declared a winner without a public vote count at all. And if this excuse was truly the case, couldn't they have issued an explanation? The official results are as transparent as a brick wall.

In any case, the 96.87% results make it foolish to believe in innocent approximations. Each candidate now has properly broken percentages, so their supposed vote counts purport to be raw data rather than an approximation. So why would the invalid vote count be an approximation? How did they calculate total votes?

I'd speculate the 80% numbers were hastily devised on napkin math in the presidential palace on the very day of the election, or otherwise they'd look more plausible - the CNE's website wouldn't go down and the government would provide detailed results. Maduro's associates likely expected a demoralized opposition or prepared a different method of fraud which didn't work out as expected.

These have been mentioned for years >>25565. It's difficult to confirm these claims, but they might explain Venezuela's oil subsidies to Cuba. According to a 2005 report:
>Venezuela is sending approximately 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil to Cuba. Venezuela’s oil contribution to Cuba represents less than 3.5 percent of its total oil production, and it is easily affordable. For Cuba, on the other hand, 90,000 bpd represents an invaluable lifeline that more than meets the island’s energy needs. Much of this Venezuelan oil is subsidized. Because payment terms are so favorable to Cuba, analysts estimate that Venezuela is providing Cuba approximately 20,000 to 26,000 bpd of free oil, for a total “gift” of $6 to $8 billion over the next 15 years.
>In return for oil, Cuba is sending Venezuela between 30,000 and 50,000 technical staff. As many as 30,000 Cubans in Venezuela are presumably medical doctors. Some are sport coaches, teachers, and arts instructors. An undisclosed number consists of intelligence, political, and military advisers.

There's an ideological explanation, Cuba is the Holy Land of Latin American leftism, which is a particular kind of internationalism despite its nationalist rhetoric. But the self-interested explanation is that the Bolivarian government relies on Cuban intelligence and military assistance as a sort of Varangian guard. The two regimes have a symbiotic relationship which might not be equally beneficial to their countries.
Further points to consider: Chávez sought medical treatment in Cuba and Maduro's inner circle is allegedly involved in santería (Afro-Cuban paganism). Some accuse the exhumation of Simón Bolívar's body in 2010 to have involved a santero ritual.

Events are unfolding in a completely predictable course. The opposition holds demonstrations but the military and police remain loyal. Maduro is content to sit on a throne of bayonets. Lula and other moderate leftists in the continent have offered negotiations, all of which have so far been rejected by Maduro. Lula is in an uncomfortable position, trapped between losing a longtime regional ally and losing votes for his party. Suggesting negotiations allows his ally to whitewash legitimacy without the PR disaster of directly endorsing Maduro's electoral results, which is precisely what Lula's party did. He has gone so far as to publicly disavow his party's position. Lately he called the Venezuelan regime "very unpleasant" and "authoritarian", but "not a dictatorship", which neither side was pleased to hear.
Negotiations could be a clever move by Maduro. He's done it before, goading the opposition into backing down from confrontation and fooling it with empty concessions. A repeat election would be even better, it would be a second chance to demoralize voter turnout and rig the results. Lula knows this, he's giving his ally a way out. Maybe Maduro will accept under further international pressure. So far he refuses to back down even on a rhetorical level, counting on his coup-proofing measures. The National Guard, Militia and even the colectivo paramilitaries are potential counterweights to Army unrest. Cuban advisors, even a handful of them, keep a watch on suspicious officers. Even then, all of this is a risky bet. Coup-proofing is always perfectly successful until it isn't. Individual officers know popular acclaim or even CIA cash await them if they refuse to disperse demonstrations.

Hispanophone Maduro apologetics resort to cheap claims like the voting tallies already having been submitted to the Supreme Court (whose presiding judge is a card-carrying member of the ruling party) or the release of tallies not being needed at all. Anglophone apologists resort to the beaten litany of color revolution, CIA-backed, upper class oppositionists and so on.
I've watched clips from Maduro's speeches and he's nothing like that. His rhetoric has some classical far left components (fascism, imperialism, bourgeois representative democracy is a lie, we're building a new democracy of the 21st century) but it's a chaotic mix. There's room for religion (reading the Bible, accusing his enemies of Satanism, mentioning the "Venezuelan family", describing himself as in a "spiritual fight between good and evil"), generation shock (uninstalling Whatsapp, attacking tech companies), Palestine-baiting or Jew-baiting (claiming his enemies are financed by international Zionism) and other colorful influences.
A much livelier personality than his defenders. He's funny in a buffoonish, unintentional way. None of Chavéz's charisma.

Also notable are the intelligence and police services running psychological terrorism through heavily edited footage of their arrests of opposition figures. Another bullet point to Venezuela's cyberpunk status. It's not cyberpunk because of purple filters and flashing lights (though these might appear) but from authorities publicizing a crackdown like it's a funny meme. It could even be awe-inspiring if they had a proper production quality.

Olympics came to their end. The sporting drama ended - they seem to be proud of such bs.
The final ranking established, both US and China won 40 gold medals, but the US medal harvest in volume was greater. Much greater by 35 medals. Many countries would be glad just with the half of that.
This table is chiefly weighs the gold as the metrics to establish the rankings. Purely if we count all the medals won, the order would change a bit. Not by much, but Brazil - with her low gold count - would jump a lot.
As for Hungary, the expected medal count was around 20, which "target" our competitors accomplished. Basically on the level of previous olympic achievements. Surprisingly no medals in water polo, which we are traditionally strong in.
If we take a look at the sports and the medal distribution - athletics, canoe, fencing, swimming, pentathlon, shooting, taekwondo - we can declare we "specialize" in canoe, swimming, and fencing pentathlon also include swimming, fencing, and shooting. Taekwondo is a fluke. It would be nice if our athletes could diversify, and bring results in other sports.
We'll see in four years how they fare. If we live that long.
