Haitian Police kicking a burning tire during a street protest
When Haitians protest against the government, then burn car tires (boule kawotchou) in street corners to disrupt traffic.
If your Haitian friends tell you "kawotchou ap boule," it means there is a street protest in Haiti... LOL...
This is a picture of a Haitian policeman from the Departmental Unit of the Maintenance of Order (UDMO) kicking a burning tire left by protesters during the street protest to attempt to clear the streets.
To protect and to serve - Motto of the Haitian National Police
To protect and to serve is often refereed to: "To Protect and to Serve", the motto of the Los Angeles Police Department since the 1960's but did you know, it is also the motto of the Haitian National Police force.
In french, the motto is "Proteger et Servir".
Many other police forces have adopted this motto across the United States. So has the police in Haiti.
