You can find the moment in this video, which we've started right at the 4:20 mark.

Our first assumption was that the bar owner was yelling at the protesters outside, urging peace.

But as Matina Stevis of Dow Jones points out, he was actually yelling at the cops. Why?

It turns out his name is Alberto Casillas, and there's a full article about him in Spanish newspaper El Pais.

He's 49, has two children, and lived in Venezuela up until 5 years ago. And he was yelling at the cops because they were seeking to arrest a protester who had fled for safety within Casillas' bar.

Alberto Casillas prevented Tuesday that a group of riot police entered the bar manager who is looking for a participant of the event they sought to stop. "I was scared to ride a slaughter if they entered," says sitting at a table in the bar. "Inside I had gotten a tide of people: old, children ... And the police did not seem anything alone." On the mantel extends the photos published in the press in which he is seen negotiating with outstretched arms in front of officers in helmets and armor. Has plasticized images like the menu.
