Mario Andresol, the Haitian Police Chief
This nonsense about a component of the Haitian National Police going on strike because some of their peers got shot dead, for the most part in the line of duty, needs to be stopped rigorously.
This is not the way to proceed. As part of their training at the Police Academy, I am certain they were made aware of the guidelines that underscore how complaints and grievances must be properly channeled through up to their commanding officers.
This cancer needs to be radiated at its gestation to prevent it from becoming a gangrenous precedent for the good functioning of the institution.
What these police officers are doing is like déjà vu all over again to me. That is the same nonsense we had to deal with back then –on the last days in the life of the Haitian military –with the foolishness about the “ti sòldas” protesting against their commanding officers. This is plain ridiculousness at its best.
Like the military, the institution of the police is apolitical, meaning it stays away from the political chatters taking place in its surroundings.
In 2006, I could not fathom to witness an installation of the United States Army going on strike demanding the resignation of G. W. Bush, their Commander in chief, for having “wrongly” committed troops in Iraq, having caused the lives of thousands of their comrades. That would have not happened. The day you see such foolishness happens in this country, you must make it your hint that America is definitely going down.
This is not the way the military/police force operates. These folks very well know that, why are they doing what they are doing? Why does it have to be in Haiti for such foolishness to take place?
I am urging the Police Chief, Mario Andresol, to open an investigation immediately to find out who these police officers are; they must be dealt with according to the prescriptions in the institution’s internal code of conduct. This is unacceptable. As far as I am concerned, they need to be kicked out of the force; they need to be made an example out of, so that such misbehavior never has to reproduce itself.
Ekspoze! -The final word 
This is a call of action. The strike will put them on the right way to fight for their right. I am with you guys because Haiti need stuff like that ACTION!!!!. All the police officers should come together as one like the three mousqueters… One for all, all for one!
I am wholeheartedly agree w/you here Emann. These officers are a disgrace to the uniform and the foundation of HPN. An investigation must be launched right away and have these low class officers returned their badges and firearms.
police officer going strke !!! is that a jock… Haiti need help badly sorry my friend we can’t do that… what about people security and safety… what about the country security come on we can’t do that… we just can’t.
