Venezuela deploys army, police after Chavez death: VP

Venezuela deployed its army and police in the wake of today’s announcement of President Hugo Chavez’s death, as the nation entered a period of political uncertainty and national mourning.

Vice President Nicolas Maduro said in a nationwide television broadcast that a special deployment was “at this very moment” being rolled out “to accompany and protect our people and guarantee the peace.”

Meanwhile Venezuela’s military chiefs appeared live on state TV on Tuesday to pledge their loyalty to Maduro following the death of Chavez.

I checked for live Venezuelan TV channels , the only ones available were state tv and they aren’t showing reaction in the streets, just replaying old Chavez speeches.
