Hampered by strict rules of nonengagement, hundreds of American soldiers found themselves watching helplessly as Haiti's blue-uniformed police and khaki-clad army troops waded into the capital's crowds, swinging metal nightsticks and indiscriminately firing tear-gas canisters. In front of the harbor, the Haitian authorities conducted brief sorties, beating anyone who fell or faltered. They broke up a demonstration by hurtling through the middle of the crowd in a van.
