I've heard various stories about police gratuitiously abusing Haitians living in the Dominican Republic.
For example one Haitian woman in Sosua who hangs out at the bars says she was put in jail 13 times in one month, for no real reason, just because the tourism police wanted a payoff.
I've heard of a Haitian who was killed by the police apparently because they liked his car or motorcycle and this was their way of getting it. Another was killed by police because the cop alleged that the guy had yelled at his sister. The sister had apparently falsely accused him of cheating on his wife.
I'm trying to research this stuff for a possible book or movie or something still to be defined but would appreciate any input from others about this.
