Forces loyal to the Maduro regime in Venezuela were just seen live on TV mowing down pro-Guaido protesters with a National Guard armored personnel vehicle. Warning: Graphic video:

Another video appears to show members of the military arresting National Guard troops loyal to Maduro:
Soldados apegados a la Constitución detienen a efectivos que defienden al régimen.
Es ahora, Venezuela!

So, has the proverbial red line been crossed for Venezuela’s military leaders yet?
Firing on civilians has been a redline for military leaders in #Venezuela.
Are they going to allow #MaduroRegime armed gangs to kill civilians to protect regime that’s going to come after many of them next?
It’s time to step forward & restore safety & constitutional order

The entire world just watched a National Guard armored vehicle ram into a crowd of civilian protestors in #Caracas.
How far will leaders of military allow this assault on their own people to go in #Venezuela?

The video of the armored GNB vehicle ramming into a crowd in #Caracas was just broadcast live on @CNN for the entire world to see.
Military & security leaders must realize they are & will be held responsible for this.
