٠٠:٠١:١٢Police officers in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba mutinied on Friday, and declared their support for protests against Bolivia's current President Evo Morales.
Dozens of protesters cheered the uniformed agents standing on the rooftop of the city's National Police headquarters, waving the national flag and chanting slogans.
The mutiny, which was initiated in Bolivia's third-largest city, was joined by officers in Sucre, Santa Cruz, Tarija and Oruro, according to reports.
