Was there in 2004 twice. Went patrolling in Cite Soleil both times, and you could feel/see the gang members sizing you up, wondering whether it was worth their time/effort to take the Canadians on.
I reckon that would depend on the ROE, but I think they'd probably not have a good time.

They are vehicles bought by the Government for the Haitian National Police.
The comments to that tweet are disturbing. It seems we're being painted as racist colonizing invaders of Haiti. I didn't realize that gangs of looters and rapists and murderers had that active a social media IO program.
