When they had Marines there and a bunch of thugs passing themselves off as cops tried to shakdown a mission the Marines did what Marines do. Eight dead gangsters later and the all sorts of rage and protests came from the UN and OAS.
Seems like fighting men who fight are handy when you're in a tough spot.

You speak of Cap Hatien. I had the pleasure (/sarcasm off) of being deployed there a couple months after the USMC turned the Cap Haitien police station into a colander. Needless to say, we did not have any problems with regime loyalists the whole time I was there.
P.S. The police station was in the middle of city block and had more bullet holes than I could count. But, I did not see any bullet holes in the adjacent or abutting buildings. Very impressive.
