When Haitians protest against the government, then burn car tires (boule kawotchou) in street corners to disrupt traffic.

If your Haitian friends tell you "kawotchou ap boule," it means there is a street protest in Haiti... LOL...

This is a picture of a Haitian policeman from the Departmental Unit of the Maintenance of Order (UDMO) kicking a burning tire left by protesters during the street protest to attempt to clear the streets.
