Haiti police protest demanding officer released

Haiti's police force was out on the streets protesting and demanding the release of an imprisoned officer and the reinstatement of another. The protesting police are demanding the release of a police officer who was arrested a few months ago for disarming a presidential palace guard while the guard was on duty. They are also calling for the reinstatement of the national police union spokesman whom they consider was arbitrarily dismissed. The police in Port-Au-Prince have been holding protests demanding better pay and working conditions since the beginning of this year, prompting the government to offer raises and benefits, which some officers have rejected claiming it's not enough.
