This is well after the fact, since I’m commenting in July, 2011. Nevertheless I found two errors in the translation on the answers .pdf file. To wit:
causando cuatro fallecidos is translated as “causing THREE fatalities” and
demostrando la impotencia de la policía is translated as “demonstrating the IMPORTANCE of the police”
You’re right.
causando cuatro fallecidos = “causing four fatalities (deaths)” (cuatro = four)
demostrando la impotencia de la policía = demonstrating the impotence of the police” (impotencia = impotence)
