Haitian police officers are demanding better protection and treatment following the killing of a Kenyan police officer who was part of a U.N.-backed mission fighting gangs in Haiti. The police unions in Haiti are calling on government officials to provide more equipment and backup as gangs controlling 85% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, continue to attack neighborhoods to expand their territory.
The leader of one police union emphasized the need for increased security measures to save lives in the country. Civilian protesters joined the demands, holding signs that read, 'We deserve security.'
