Scope and content
A Haitian policeman waits for an accused thief to reach shore at the harbor in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1990, after the man was caught in middle of a robbery. Once the man's foot touched shore, a second policeman at the side raised his rifle and shot the man, killing him on the spot. Justice and the lack of it has plagued Haiti for decades, and often takes place on the spot without charges or fair trials.
